Moonbeams
Welcome to Moonbeams, our nurturing baby and toddler designed for children aged 6 to 24 months. With a dedicated practitioner for every three babies, we ensure each child receives the outstanding care and attention they deserve. Our spacious environment features three distinct areas for exploration, including climbing equipment, a cozy corner for stories, and a creative space for art and messy play. At Moonbeams, we focus on creating a safe and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued and cherished as they embark on their first experiences away from home.
Little Stars
Welcome to Little Stars, our vibrant and nurturing space designed for children aged 18 months to 3 years. With the capacity to accommodate up to 24 little ones, we ensure a dynamic and engaging environment by regularly rearranging our room and rotating resources. Our cozy side room serves as a peaceful area for stories and quiet activities, transforming into a sensory haven for smaller group work. As children approach 3 years old, we thoughtfully prepare them for the transition to Sunshine Corner, always considering their developmental readiness while fostering a sense of belonging within their age group.
Sunshine Corner
At Sunshine Corner, we celebrate the growth of children's vocabulary as it parallels their journey toward greater independence. As they develop, children begin forge genuine relationships with their peers, engaging in imaginative play within our home corner. This enriching environment teaches them the importance of sharing and helps them build special bonds with their friends. We prioritize emotional understanding through dedicated wellbeing sessions, guiding children in recognizing their own feelings and those of others, ultimately fostering skills to be a good friend. Our dedicated art room and messy corner invite children to explore various textures and unleash their creativity, allowing them craft unique masterpieces that reflect their individual designs. Additionally, we encourage exploration of the world around them through exciting visits to our forest school and walks in the local area. By planning activities that align with the children's interests, we offer a diverse range of engaging experiences throughout the day, empowering children to expand their knowledge and take an active role in their learning journey.
Home learning
At our nursery, we warmly invite parents to actively participate in our daily activities and take advantage of our home learning packs available for you to take home. We cherish the moments you share with us, so please feel free to post your observations on Famly. Our dedicated staff are always here to discuss home learning and recommend engaging activities that support your child's growth and development. Your involvement makes a difference!
Outdoor time
At our setting, we prioritise outdoor play and exploration for children, encouraging them to spend as much time outside as possible. Our garden and playground are filled with engaging resources, including a large sandpit, climbing apparatus, and a mud kitchen where children can create mud pies cultivate their own vegetables and flowers. We believe in the importance of outdoor activities, dressing appropriately for all weather conditions, and providing a variety of resources that promote gross motor skills. Whether it's riding bikes and scooters in the soft playground or building imaginative obstacle courses with real wood, our children are always busy discovering and developing new skills in a fun and safe environment.
Outings
At our nursery, we believe in enriching the children's experience by exploring our vibrant town together. We invite the children to share their favorite destinations, whether it's the local market, the duck pond, or the library. With our spacious buggies for the little ones and walk-o-diles for those to stride confidently, every outing is a delightful adventure. Safety is our priority, so we carefully assess each location, ensuring they are perfect for our little explorers, while keeping parents informed and connected through our nursery mobile phone.
