About this day nursery

Fair View Kindergarten and Nursery offers comprehensive care for children ranging from a few months old up to twelve years. The nursery caters specifically to children aged 12 months to 5 years, providing full or part-time care in a purpose-built environment equipped to support children, including those with special needs.

Recognising the importance of early childhood development, Fair View focuses on a quality pre-school experience, fostering a happy and secure atmosphere where children can learn and grow. A wide array of activities and experiences are provided to help children develop new skills and knowledge during these formative years.

The high staff-to-child ratio ensures individual support and security, with staff engaging children in conversation to reinforce learning and encourage self-reliance and helping others. The kindergarten is well-resourced with toys, games, art and craft materials, and more, offering daily activities such as drawing, painting, model making, cooking, singing, and free play.

A qualified teacher is available to guide children through more structured educational activities when they are ready. The ultimate goal is for children to build friendships, develop confidence, learn effectively, and enjoy their time through fun activities.

Additionally, Fair View extends its services to include an After-School Club and Holiday Play Schemes for older children.

What it's like

Children arrive at the gate eager to start their day at this friendly and nurturing nursery. They separate easily from their parents and engage in familiar 'good morning' routines, singing songs and looking at photographs. Children quickly become engaged in activities that interest them, such as exploring oats and lentils, water play, and moulding play dough into 'cakes'.

Fairview is a fantastic nursery, with educated friendly staff, who really care. They are flexible to meet the needs of your family, including split sessions, days, hourly rates, lunches/breakfast, etc. If your little one gets upset not only do they give great cuddles, but they also have lots of toys to distract, and even animals in the garden. Goats, Guinea Pigs, Dogs, Rabbit etc. Cannot rate this place highly enough.
