Setting and our facilities |
|
Our nursery is full of experienced child care professionals. Both managers were Primary School teachers, and we have 5 nursery assistants all trained to level 3, as part of our team. All staff are paediatric first aid and child protection trained.
We offer a unique personal touch, and like our children to feel safe and at home in our setting. Then they are relaxed and can grow into happy, independent people.
Having strong relationships with our families is important to us, and we are approachable and in regular communication with our parents. We display our daily plans, have termly meetings with key workers, and our happy to have an informal chat about your child whenever you need to. Most of us are parents ourselves, and we understand how precious your little ones are. They are individuals with their own needs, minds and wishes.
We are extremely lucky to have such an enormous outdoor space. This facilitates our outdoor learning, which is a huge part of Little Blossoms' philosophy. We encourage our children to be outside for a good portion of the day, whether it is hunting for mini beasts, singing and dancing, using our ride on toys, building dens, gardening or just exploring. We also enjoy and encourage physical activity. Our manager was a physical education co-ordinator at her school, so does a fun sports day, gym activities and sessions of children's yoga.
Our philosophy is that the best way to encourage learning at pre-school age is through hands-on experience. Investigating and being creative, with a strong emphasis on learning through play.
Our children all have key workers, who support and document their play and learning through photographs and observations. These observations are used to plan activities for each individual child.
We organise our space to help us deliver the Early Years Curriculum in a stimulating and imaginative way, and we make good use of our outside space and our main community hall. We also have a quiet room, for small group activities and if children need to rest or sleep.
Supported and supervised by staff, our children can move freely through different activities and discover new interests and skills as they explore, play and make friends.
