Nursery Room 

6 months - 2 years

 

Our  Nursery room, designed with little people in mind! This area is split into 3 different rooms; at the front of the building we have a room which we use for creative and messy play activities, this is then cleaned up to make way for snack and lunch times. The main room, in here they have a snuggly reading den, a role play area, a small world area and a variety of other resources and toys which primarily help build upon their skills in the prime areas of learning. To the rear of our room and through the tree we have our sleep room. 

 

We are often asked by parents "what's your routine for the day in this room?" and our answer is.....

we go with the flow..... Yes we have the basic routine set around snacks and lunches but we truly believe in ensuring all of the babies and their unique needs are being met before following a timetable. However the babies are provided with many different learning opportunities, from messy play, treasure baskets, fine motor activities to quite time in the cosy book corner. The children also have access to their own dedicated outdoor play space, which is accessed by a rear door and will allow for lots of time to explore the outside, we fit this all in around sleeps and times where they might just need a cuddle. 

​

We also have pushchairs to go out for walks in the local community, visiting different places and enjoying the local park. 

​

Each day a 'daily record' sheet is completed for parents, which is handed to you daily and details: nappy changes, meal times, sleep times and any other useful information. Staff also upload observations onto tapestry our online learning journey which can be accessed at home via the 'tapestry' app. 

 

Each child’s needs are carefully assessed and through working with all parents/carers we ensure we always provide the best possible care for each individual child. We do not have rigid routines and support each child's individual routines. We continuously review each child’s needs and development, working with the parents/carers through verbal hand overs, all about me documents and care plans which are completed and reviewed regularly to ensure we can provide the best possible care.​
 

Our experienced staff will help your child to settle into the setting. The settling in period is completely free of charge to ensure all children are completely settled before their agreed start date. These sessions are tailored to each child's needs allowing them to become familiar with the environment and the staff, in particular their key person. During this time, we will discuss routines, likes and dislikes, and provide support for each family during this transition.
