Mealtimes are a cherished part of the day. We sit down together with the children, just like a family would at home. While providing healthy, balanced meals is essential, these moments offer so much more. They’re a time to share stories, build friendships, and nurture emotional connections. These shared experiences also support children’s language development and communication skills, helping them grow in confidence and feel part of a caring community.

Every child has a nursery key person who knows them best and who will be the child and parent’s main contact. Your key person at our nursery will update you about your child’s day and is there to answer your questions. When your child moves to the next age group room, we hold several settling sessions with a new nursery key person. We encourage our parents to view the new room too and we will work with you to discuss the new routines, just like we did when you first started nursery.
