Every child’s family differs in their needs & the support they may wish to receive from the nursery team Children become more aware of strangers and changing surroundings as they get older. A young baby will settle in far quicker than a toddler. Settling in sessions are planned & structured to give the maximum opportunity for your child to bond & feel secure in their new environment. Sensitive welcoming staff known as key staff will help you to settle your child into their new nursery.
Our data base enables us to foresee what spaces we have for up to a year at a time.
Once you formally accept a place by signing our agreement you shall not receive a refund of the registration fee should you not be able to start your child on the agreed date.
There are a variety of options on the menu, which are rotated to give children the opportunity to taste new foods and explore new textures. As mealtimes are social occasions, children tend to watch others and this in turn encourages them to try a little. Staff are on hand to assist with serving extra helpings. Children do not have access to any sugary foods. We do not add salt & all foods are freshed cooked on site each day. Our chef cooks with the children weekly and explores the ingredients with them. Our menus are devised quarterly and we encourage parents to send in ideas & recipes from home.
As we approach the period of time where children get ready to leave, our pre-school teacher usually takes lead in an enrichment programme, to focus on school readiness. Here she introduces activities such as name writing, phonics, sharing and identifying emotions for transitions, role play sessions and general links to school life they will be soon facing.
Yes, certainly with your consent. We shall take the children to visit our local parks, libraries and children's centres. We shall look at visiting places of interest linked to our planned curriculum, such as the fire station, bus depot, post office. Any parents who wish to come along would be more than welcome to join us. We only take 2 children out per member of staff. We have a comprehensive policy and procedures for you to collect about our outings.
We shall ask you to start potty training on our nursery holiday times where child can get familiar with the new routine in their own home and environment before training in a more crowded and similitude environment.
When we are back to nursery you can bring in a few extra sets of bottoms and a potty for your own child to use. We shall encourage your child to go to the bathroom with the older children on regular occasions and make a note of these times and any successes. We discourage the use of 'training' pants as children need to be able to try and undress themselves. We have a more comprehensive set of guidelines for you to collect at nursery.
Positive praise and encouragement are fundamental to ensuring children recognise what is acceptable in a group setting. Children shall learn the differences between right and wrong. We shall be consistent, fair and calm in our approach. We shall consult with you as to the best strategy to take should the actions of your child be unacceptable. Please collect our behaviour policy and guidelines for more information.

Each room has a daily routine which has been carefully devised according to the age, stage and capabilities of the children in this room. This routine is frequently reviewed, updated to reflect the changing needs of individual children at various ages stages. it also incorporates seasonal adjustments which enable the children to have equal access to activities set inside and outside the nursery in our garden area.
