So what do we offer?

We have rooms tailored to specific age groups

We have different rooms that the children progress through as they get older, just like at school. This means we can tailor the care and education to meet the varying needs of children as they grow. We call the rooms by the following names :-

Freddie Fish

The room is split to provide a separate sleeping room with a viewing window and baby monitor to provide a quiet area to rest. The main room is equipped with suitable toys to provide for early development opportunities. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (2021) focusing on the three prime areas of learning which are Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development. We plan fun activities such as action songs and rhymes, messy fun play, story time, and discovery play. During the session babies have the opportunity to explore the two outside play areas and the indoor soft playroom.
We pride ourselves in providing freshly liquidised meals and finger food for babies beginning to explore food. We provide all milk required during the day.
We make every effort to maintain your established routine from home. Our number one priority is to ensure that your baby remains happy. A key person will help your baby settle into their new nursery environment and monitor their learning and achievements through observations.
