The Nursery closes for just three days between Christmas and the New Year plus all Bank Holidays - you will not be charged for these closures. All other absences must be paid for.

The Nursery has six separate groups:

Each group has a senior fully qualified and experienced Nursery Worker in charge together with qualified Nursery Assistants or partially qualified and/or training towards their qualifications. If a senior member of staff is absent for any reason we have our own extra full time staff available to cover their groups. The Childcare Manager and two senior staff also have the responsibility to ensure that the Early Years Foundation Stage requirement is smoothly maintained throughout the Nursery

Squirrels and Ducklings

– aged 9 months to 2 years.
Staffing: 2 staff members - 6 children.
These are our baby groups and have a deliberately high staff:child ratio enabling us to provide that personal level of attention which we are very aware that children need at this age.

Moles and Hedgehogs

- aged 2 to 3 years.
Staffing: 2 staff members - 8 children.
These are our toddler groups and we offer them more structured play, together with a learning environment designed for their individual needs. Toilet training is introduced in this group after consultation with parents.

Badgers and Rabbits [and from September 2010 Otters]

- aged 3 years to school age.
Staffing: 2 or 3 staff members
10 children in the Rabbits Group or 18 children in the Badgers Group. [with effect from September 2010 there will be 10 children in all three groups]
These are our pre-school groups and we encourage creative and artistic activities together with music, movement, stories and games. We spend time with each child giving them the opportunity to learn writing skills, colours, shapes, numbers etc. to ensure that they are prepared for school and have the confidence to get off to a good start.
