Nursery
From 3 Months To 3 Years
The nursery room is a calm and tranquil environment where babies and toddlers thrive with the caring and loving approach provided by key people. The room has a maximum number of 12 children which gives a family-friendly feel and is suitable for babies from 3 months to toddlers and children aged up to 2 ½ to 3 years.
About The Nursery
Snacks and meals take place around the table where everyone babies, toddlers, and practitioners sit together to enjoy the routine together. The routines are flexible to allow staff to support all children’s individual needs and we have safe and suitable areas for sleeping, nappy changing, playing, and learning. We provide a wide range of activities designed to interest and stimulate, including sticking, messy painting sessions, other creative activities, sand and water play, and story sessions. The song box sessions are delightful and even our youngest babies join in with these with fascination and interest. There is also lots of individual learning in the form of role-play and free play, which staff support sensitively. We go outside every session, either to play in the school playground and/or for a walk around our beautiful Buxton town.
Our key person approach..
Our key person approach means that practitioners get to know their babies and children, they will work closely with parents and carers and plan activities to reflect their interests and needs.
Activities
Activities are planned in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage and the seven areas of learning which are; Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, Physical Development, Mathematical Development, Literacy, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
