About us

Nursery Times

We are open for 38 weeks each year.  We are closed during school holidays.  The nursery is open 5 days per week.  Our session times are as follows:

Morning session 8.45-11.45am
Lunch session 11.45am – 12.30pm
Afternoon session 12.30 – 3.30pm

Sessions can be used to provide whole or part day care within these times.
We provide care and education for young children from the age of 2 years until commencing school.

Snack and Lunch times

The setting makes snacks and meals a social time.  This is a wonderful opportunity for children to develop their social skills, engaging in conversations with their peers and with adults. We plan snacks so that children are provided with healthy and nutritious food.   This will include fruit, vegetables, cheese, yoghurts, breadsticks or crackers.  We sometimes have toast or children make their own sandwiches.  We ensure all children’s dietary needs are met. Drinking water is always available to children.

Children having a lunch session at nursery can choose to have a packed lunch or a hot/cold dinner provided by the school (this is at an additional cost).  A weekly menu is displayed in the nursery.  For those children having a packed lunch, the nursery provides drinks, fruit and yoghurt.

Keyworker

All children are allocated a key person whose role is to build a trusting and supportive relationship with you and your child. The key person will help to ensure that your child’s learning and care is tailored to meet their individual needs and endeavour to work in partnership with you to support your child in their learning and development at home and at nursery.

Learning Journey

Throughout a child’s time at nursery their keyworker will keep an online learning journey which documents achievements, learning and development through photographs and written observations.  You will be given a secure password to enable you to access the learning journey at any time.   You can add your own photo’s and comments, including children’s interests at home.
