Heysham Youths Community Centre Pre-School

About this day nursery

Heysham Youths Community Centre Pre-School, operating since 2008, prides itself on placing children's needs first and foremost, providing a warm and nurturing environment where children are made to feel like they are in a family. Staff act as positive role models, encouraging children and offering reassuring hugs.

The setting has high expectations for all children, carefully considering their emotional well-being and promoting positive behaviour. " The curriculum is designed to support development across all areas of learning, with a particular focus on promoting communication and language skills.

The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a key strength, with staff completing observations and identifying children's needs through consistent and high-quality assessments. They work closely with parents and wider professionals to ensure comprehensive support.

Children enjoy tending to vegetables and fruit in the allotment area, learning about healthy lifestyles and where food comes from, and observing chicks hatching in an incubator. This child-centred approach ensures a rich and engaging experience for children aged 2-4 years.
