About this day nursery
Jurassic Childcare, located in Budleigh Salterton, offers a mixed-age childcare service throughout the year, catering to children from birth to 11 years old. The day nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, and is closed on weekends.
They adopt a Montessori-inspired educational approach, emphasising hands-on learning and self-directed activities within their classrooms. This method is complemented by qualified and DBS-checked Early Years Practitioners who meticulously plan various activities, taking into account each child's individual interests.
The learning environment at Jurassic Childcare is designed to be age-appropriate, giving children the freedom to independently choose activities they wish to explore. The day nursery's ethos is deeply rooted in the parent/carer relationship, striving to professionally address their needs and foster long-term relationships.
Their vision is centred on being flexible, caring, passionate, and fair, with a strong commitment to equality and providing a safe, secure environment where all children have equal access to their programmes and activities. They aim to meet the needs of every child, offering a warm, supportive, and progressive facility that aids in early development and helps children grow into independent and confident learners.
