The Nursery
Little Ladybirds (0 - 2 year)
The Ladybird group are based in our brand new extension which has been purpose built with all safety features being considered. This brand new room boasts fantastic facilities including plenty of natural lighting provided through a large roof lantern and large windows. This room can cater for 12 children between the ages of six weeks to 20 months. The staff who are based in this room have been specifically selected and are highly trained professionals who understand the children's needs as well as providing tender loving care in a happy and secure environment whilst building a close relationship with both the children and parents. The ratio in this room is one member of staff to every three children.
Caterpillars (2 - 3 years)
The Caterpillars group caters for 24 children aged 20 months – 3 years working on a staff ratio of one staff member to every four children for 2 – 3 year old and one staff member to every three children for 20 months – 2 year olds. The aim of the staff in Caterpillars group is to provide a high standard of care to aid the individual child's learning and development. The Caterpillars day is structured around the use of weekly planners that encourage each child to learn and recognise colours, shapes and numbers and develop their language skills at their own pace.
Butterflies (3 - 5 years)
The Butterflies is our pre- school group and is registered to cater for 29 children. This group works on a staff ratio of one staff member to every eight children or one to thirteen if we have a staff member who has achieved graduate leader which is an Early Years Professional Status qualification (EYPS – equivalent to a level 6). The room is very spacious and airy and offers children many different areas of play.
