The Baby Unit and Toddler Room provides excellent care for children aged from six months to two years old. Each child spends time playing and developing in a secure, nurturing environment with age appropriate equipment and toys.
We meet all the individual needs of your child and each Key Person provides innovative ways to encourage learning through meaningful interactions and discovery play. All departments have qualified professionals that put the welfare and education of every child first.
The children will enjoy both indoor and outdoor play. They will become confident learners, experiencing meaningful interactions and structured activities daily, covering all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Between the age of 18 months and 2 years your child will make regular visits to the Nursery rooms to help with a happy transition to the next stage.
We offer varied, stimulating and exciting curriculum to encourage your child's growth and development. Learning will be tailored to the individual needs of each child and our topics will provide a wealth of different experiences to extend their knowledge and understanding.
The Nursery department will spend time encouraging your child to learn through play, songs, colours, shapes, numbers and letters in preparation for the move to Pre-school
Our Pre-School caters for children aged three years to school age in an educationally stimulating environment that will help your child to prepare for and excel in Primary School. Continuing through the Early Years Foundation Stage the children will have every opportunity to develop skills and knowledge.
Each Key Person will provide a learning programme through close observations, group activities and focused one to one tasks. As part of the curriculum the Pre-School children will have educational visits including road safety, the dentist, the vets and practical healthy eating demonstrations. They also have access to outdoor areas every day and use of the swimming pool.
Our school holiday care is available when your child's school is closed, including teacher training days. **(except when the centre is closed for annual holidays - See the 'Parent Page' section for our annual holiday dates)**.
The children are provided with activities and outings as well as special events such as our fun days and visitors to the centre. Unless we are having a special themed fun day on site we will take the children on an external visit every day. This will include bowling, cinema, National Trust, parks, the seaside, river fishing and other fun outings.
The children are provided with a cooked meal and tea during the day, as well as healthy snacks and drinks between meal times.
