The day nursery is an Edwardian building which has been extended to form purpose designed accommodation for children 0-3 years. There are many large rooms, a lovely garden, a secure roof top area for the younger children and a playground.

A large indoor play area is also available which is equipped with stimulating apparatus. This allows the children to enjoy play whatever the weather.

Within the nursery there are four self contained units:

▪ Two baby units 0-11 months and 11-18 months.

▪ Toddler unit 18-24 months.

▪ Infants 2-3 years.

The age span of each group is approximate as we like to take into account the development needs of each child and parental wishes. Each unit is headed by a senior. Working alongside them are several nursery nurses each of whom have the responsibility for a small group of children (key person system).

Throughout the day the children are offered a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The emphasis is on creating a homely but stimulating environment for these very young children. Each unit is fully equipped with toys and equipment suitable for each particular group.

There are often trips out (if parental permission is given) in the form of local walks or a visit to the park. Children are treated as individuals and, by working in small groups with organised routines, we hope to provide the opportunity for children to develop at their own rate.
