Our promise to every parent and children at our nursery

Parent Communication

We are passionate about the link between home and nursery; Our nursery experience is just as much about the parent as it is for the child. We are committed to verbally updating you about your child’s day at pick-up time and also via digital updates on the parent App. We are here at any time should you wish to call us or want to discuss any area of your child’s care. Our aim is to look after our parents as well as our children, so you can carry on with your day, work and career with a sense of peace.

Security & Saftey

Your child’s safety is our top priority. Before we even begin delivering the rich and engaging curriculum that defines our nursery, we ensure that every aspect of our environment meets the highest standards. We strictly follow robust policies and procedures in line with Ofsted requirements, building and fire safety regulations, food hygiene standards, and comprehensive staff background checks, including DBS and references.

Food & Nutrition

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.

Key Carer

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.
