"Outstanding" Ofsted October 2013 Early Birds Neighbourhood Nursery opened in March 2004 and was the first purpose built Council Day Nursery in North Somerset. The Nursery is housed in a contemporary building which has light, spacious rooms, with a large safe and secure outside play area. The Nursery has two playrooms. One for children aged 3 months -2 1/2 years and one for children 2 1/2 years -5 years. There is also a sleep room and sensory room available for the children to use. The layout of the rooms encourages independence and children have free access to resources. The Nursery staff inspire a love of learning by their own enthusiasm and by acting as role models. The aim of the Nursery is to provide a warm, loving and caring environment in which children can enjoy wide and varied learning opportunities, with a written record of each childs progress kept to ensure they are reaching their own personal potential. At Early Birds we hope when children leave us they will have high self esteem, a love of learning and discovering and an ability to be independent.
