What makes us special?

We provide a warm, friendly, secure and stimulating environment in which each child can reach his or her full potential. We aim to provide a wide range of activities and learning experiences which will enable each child the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually whilst encouraging self-confidence, independence and respect for themselves and others.

Our rooms are carefully designed and organised to encourage independence as much of the equipment is within their own reach. The rooms are neutrally decorated, calm, homely and comfortable. We also have sofas and cushions for curling up for stories or rest, and areas which are perfect for messy and creative play and activities.

Each member of our caring staff is carefully selected through a robust recruitment and selection process and an enhanced DBS check. Once selected, they are provided with a thorough induction process and enabled to settle into our routines, working alongside experienced staff. 

We regard the safety, security and welfare of all children, staff, parents and visitors to our setting as paramount. As a part of this, we require everyone to adhere to the safe working practices and policies that we have in place. We have security systems for all our entrances and children can only be collected by authorised adults. Special arrangements can be put in place for others to collect by prior discussion and agreement with the manager only. Staff are not allowed to use personal mobile phones or cameras in the setting and all visitors to the setting are strictly controlled. We work with regulatory bodies, parents and carers to ensure we have a safe, secure and hygienic setting which ensures the welfare of the children in our care whilst also providing them with opportunities to explore and discover and to develop curiosity and enthusiasm during their play, activities and experiences – a balanced approach.

We ensure that each child has their own key person who will provide them with extra comfort, security and reassurance if necessary and will also keep you updated about your child’s time at the nursery. They are responsible for ensuring that your child’s development is monitored and encouraged, keeping detailed records, ensuring his or her learning journey is up to date and sharing this information confidentially with you. They support your child while they initially settle in and then guide them through enjoying new activities, getting to know them well and sharing in the fun of the nursery day.

We know that parents are a child’s first educators and we need your knowledge about your child to enable us to play our part in further encouraging their educational development. That’s why partnerships with parents and carers are extremely important to us and as part of this, we ensure that we ask for, and pass on information about your child’s time with us every single time they attend our setting.
