The day nursery boasts a long-standing team with over a century of combined experience, ensuring high-quality care and education. They provide a comprehensive package where fees include essential items such as wholesome meals, nappies, baby formula, and wipes. The day nursery is also recognised for accepting funded childcare places. A notable aspect of their approach is 'Udeskole,' a Forest School-inspired outdoor learning programme based on a Scandinavian concept. This initiative encourages children to engage directly with nature, exploring local wildlife and plants, thereby fostering their sense of self through hands-on environmental experiences. The manager, Amy Carroll, has been with the nursery since 2002 and holds a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, bringing both professional expertise and a parental perspective, as her own daughters attended the nursery. She is particularly passionate about Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) support, ensuring all children receive the assistance they require. The nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, 52 weeks a year. Our ethos At Kids Planet, we have put together our very own Forest School inspired outdoor learning approach called ‘Udeskole’ that many of our nurseries are training towards and Kids Planet Rugeley has already completed! Udeskole is a Scandinavian concept that translates to “outdoor school” and is an educational approach to outdoor learning. Udeskole focuses on nature-based learning experiences and encourages children to spend more time outdoors studying local wildlife and plants, directly engaging with nature and their environment and helping them to develop their sense of self. What it's like Staff interactions with children are of a high quality, resulting in all children feeling safe and secure. Children show exceptional independence from an early age, learning through active engagement, first-hand experiences, and the exploration of ideas and materials.
