Our values of integrity, equality, respect and happiness is reflected in our vision.
We offer an experience through which children can realise their individual potential in a safe, caring, stimulating environment which meets their individual need.
Our Day
Welcome Time
Doors open at 9:00am. After children sign in, children will start Welcome Time at 9:30am. They will join their key worker’s group for our welcome song and registration. The Golden Rules are talked about and they discuss the day ahead. Welcome Time takes a similar theme for our afternoon children with the session beginning at 12:00pm.
Active play in Hall 1
This forms the main part of the children’s nursery day. There are a variety of well planned and balanced activities on offer to provide a stimulating experience and promote learning across the curriculum. Staff interact with individuals and small groups to support and enhance the children’s learning experiences.
Snack Time
This is a free flow snack which children can access between 10am and 11am. As part of our healthy eating plans and following nutritional guidance, snack time comprises of either milk or water and a selection of fruit followed by toast, crackers or oatcakes. Special dietary requirements are accommodated. Water is always available for all children.
Active play in Hall 2
There will be an adult led activity in the smaller hall. This type of activity will involve the nursery staff planning, organising and leading and activity that requires supervision. Adult lead activities allow children to develop their language through adult interaction and learn new skills and concepts .
Tooth Brushing Time
We participate in a tooth brushing programme. The nursery will provide each child with toothpaste and a toothbrush labelled with their name.
Group and Song Time
We end the session with a whole group time and songs, rhymes, drama or stories.
This provides the opportunity for reflection on the day.
Garden & Outdoors Activity
Children have access to the garden every day.
We also run an Outward Bound initiative to the local park which all children will have the chance to take part in. It’s essential that when it’s your child’s turn that they arrive in the nursery dressed for the weather. It can be muddy at the park, so wellies are essential! We go out in all weather except for high winds or lightning.
