Our highly trained and knowledgeable practitioners support the children to learn and grow. They plan activities based around the children’s individual interests and stage of development, to ensure they are enthused, inspired and eager to learn.

PARENT PARTNERSHIP

We believe it is important for parents to be involved in every aspect of their child’s development, including when they are in nursery.

To ensure Parents are kept fully informed and involved, we offer:

At the end of each day our practitioners will take the time to read your child’s diary and discuss how they have been throughout the day. They will also inform you of how much your child has eaten and slept and their nappy changes.

Parents and family members are invited to attend themed activity sessions throughout the year. The sessions are planned to enable parents and children to experience a variety of activities together, whilst being guided by our practitioners.

A relaxing evening for parents to discuss their child’s progress with our practitioners and to meet other parents; whilst enjoying a cup of tea or coffee and some delicious cake.

Designed for parents and children to have fun getting creative at home.

OPEN DOOR POLICY

We welcome all parents to discuss any comments, concerns, or suggestions with any member of our team.

The Manager and Deputy are also available every day.
