The nursery prides itself on its family-run ethos, aiming to create a 'home from home' atmosphere where each child is recognised and nurtured as an individual. The Barnesmead site caters to children across various age groups, with a specific focus on the unique developmental needs of infants and toddlers. The environment for the youngest children (under 2s) is thoughtfully designed with separate areas, including a dedicated cot room and changing facilities, ensuring a safe and stimulating space for them to explore. As children grow, they transition into older areas that support their expanding capabilities within the Prime Areas of Learning. The nursery benefits from its convenient location, being within easy walking distance of local amenities such as shops, a park, a library, and a duck pond, which are regularly incorporated into the children's outings. Both nursery locations also benefit from on-site car parking, as well as proximity to train and bus routes, aiding accessibility for families. Our ethos Flying Start Day Nursery prides itself on its family-run ethos, aiming to create a 'home from home' atmosphere where each child is recognised and nurtured as an individual. What it's like All children have a 'flying start' at this exceptional setting, arriving excited and happy. Staff are passionate about ensuring children feel loved and cared for, providing a highly ambitious curriculum with rich experiences. Children flourish and thrive, supported by dedicated staff who value and include all families.
