Our Environments

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Our dedicated areas are specifically designed to provide age appropriate spaces for our smallest guests, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Our environments play a pivotal role in ensuring our children feel safe and secure. They support children’s development, inspire their creativity and are effective in supporting young children’s learning. We aim for our children to be intrinsically motivated to learn, therefore each space and activity is carefully planned to ensure it meets the unique needs of individual children. Small groups often work together on a project and individual children can often be observed consolidating their learning through child-initiated play.

In our Darling Duck room, our youngest children are cared for by a team of qualified nursery nurses whose specialist knowledge and skills enable them to provide an enriching space for those children developing faster than at any other time in their life. Parents immediately feel at ease in this extremely welcoming and nurturing environment. Our knowledgeable team are always on hand to offer advice and guidance to parents and share the joy of their child’s development.

Outdoor play is big on our agenda; our garden provides endless opportunities for enhancing children’s overall development. Challenging obstacles, wide open spaces, growing areas, exploration zones and continuous outdoor/indoor provision encourage children’s curiosity, extends their thinking and promotes their physical development.

In addition, we are very fortunate to have access to our wonderful indoor playcentre. Children attending the nursery have exclusive use of the incredible facilities each morning as well as organised sessions during other times. Children’s emotional well-being is placed at the top of our priority list, physical activity both indoors and out helps to support their self-confidence, resilience and their ability to take controlled risks in a safe environment.

Our aim is to provide a home from home feel so that children adapt easily to their surroundings and feel relaxed and happy. The health and well-being of children is our highest priority. Children who feel safe and comfortable in their environment thrive in all areas of their development.
