Our Facilities

Our nursery has been specially converted and extended for use as a nursery with purpose-built classrooms and bathroom facilities to cater for the different age groups. Nappies for all babies and toddlers are provided by the nursery. Early foods are also provided for the babies.

3 Months - 2 years (babies)

We accept babies from three months old and have created a separate area, away from bigger and more active children, where they are able to explore and develop in an environment created specifically for them. There is also a sleep room adjacent to the babies' room where each child has his or her own cot on the days that they attend the nursery. This enables them to continue their own sleep patterns throughout the day without being disturbed by other children.

2-3 years (toddlers)

Toddlers have their own classroom with toilets and washing facilities specifically designed for small children. Their room is well equipped with books, toys and learning tools suitable for their age group.
den
We have a large garden for all the children to  enjoy. There are paved areas for bikes and sit-on toys.
The lawn and bark
areas allow for the larger equipment.
 
3-5 years (Pre-school)
Our pre-school programme for the older children follows OFSTED guidelines and focuses on the six key areas of learning show on the right.

Using these areas as our basis we help to develop each child's full potential through a variety of structured and free-time activities. These include arts and crafts, modelling, role playing, story times, word games, music and movement, number play, work with shapes, group activities and team projects.

We also arrange walks around the village for all the children and at certain times throughout the year we organise day trips away from the nursery.

Mealtimes

We have our own fully equipped kitchen where all the meals are prepared on site using fresh ingredients. Children arriving before 9.00am are provided with breakfast and this is followed by a healthy snack and drink at 10.00am. The main meal of the day, which includes fresh fruit and vegetables, is served at midday and tea is provided in the afternoon. Early foods are provided for the babies and children with special dietary needs can also be catered for. Parents are encouraged to discuss specific requirements with the staff. Each week a full menu is displayed in the lobby for all parents to see.
