About this day nursery

Fellowship of St Nicholas - Greenway is a welcoming and spacious nursery in Hastings, offering care for children aged 1-4 years. Open from 8am to 6pm, 52 weeks a year, children thoroughly enjoy their time here.

The day nursery boasts an exciting view of the town, and little ones love to watch trains passing and delivery lorries at the nearby supermarket upon arrival. This inspires their learning, as they observe and draw aspects of their environment, including local houses, birds, and minibeasts in the shrubbery.

The setting actively promotes curiosity and exploration of the natural world, with a wealth of outdoor resources. For instance, children can plant seeds in the garden, care for growing flowers, and take turns using trowels to scoop soil into pots.

Managers meticulously allocate funding to ensure children benefit from expert knowledge, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and children with English as an additional language. The day nursery was recently awarded a certificate of excellence from the "Healthy Active Little Ones" project, reflecting their commitment to children's well-being.

Leaders are clear about the nursery's vision and continuous improvement, supporting practitioners who know the children exceptionally well, understanding their individual characters and current interests.
