NURSERY

Our Nursery is for children aged 3-5 years only, and children will be outside connecting with each other and the natural world for the majority of each session. We do not operate a hard and fast regular program, but rather adapt each session depending on the needs of the children and weather conditions.

SESSIONS

Sessions are available term-time Monday to Friday from 8-6. Parents can choose from mornings, afternoons, core (10-3) or all day sessions and for as many sessions or combinations as you wish. For continuity we do recommend a minimum of two sessions but there is no obligation to do this.

When your child joins us, we offer a free two hour settling session, further settling will be staggered and staff will support both parents and children to aid your child’s settling should that be needed. We also offer an open gate policy to parents, so if you would like to visit the nursery at anytime you are free to turn up, although we ask that you avoid the beginning, middle and end of day hours as we like to be available to talk to our current parents and provide a quality handover.

HOLIDAY CAMPS

As we operate term-time only we do offer Summer and Easter camps, please note this is subject to staff availability during the holidays and demand for these spaces is high.

WEATHERPROOFING

Children will need good quality PU material waterproofs, we recommend Didriksons or an equivalent, and these should be two pieces – dungaree style trousers and jacket with hood. We anticipate that your child will need an average of 2 sets if they stay with us for two years and more active children may need more! We have a limited stock of waterproofs that parents can purchase at a discounted price for the first set. If you require a second set, we can provide a new set at cost price, subject to availability, or you can provide your own. We can also provide the waterproof Didriksons mittens and hats, both at cost price.

HEALTHY SNACKS

We provide healthy snacks and drinks for the children during both the morning and afternoon sessions. If your child brings their own lunch we ask that you provide this with a cool pack inside an insulated lunch bag, and all food should be healthy and nut free.
