New Moon Nursery Warmfield

About this day nursery

New Moon Nurseries offers exceptional day care for children aged 0-5 years, aiming to create a nurturing "home from home" environment. The nursery has two locations: one in a Victorian house in Castleford and another in a farmhouse in Warmfield, near Wakefield.

The nursery organises children into three age-specific rooms: the New Moon Room for 0-2 year olds, focusing on early development through play and language; the Half Moon Room for 2-3 year olds, where activities are designed to be fun and engaging to foster their natural curiosity and developing language skills; and the Full Moon Room for 3-5 year olds, which prepares children for school through engaging play-based activities incorporating literacy and numeracy. The nursery places a strong emphasis on providing nutritious, home-cooked meals using locally sourced ingredients, catering to various dietary needs, and promoting social mealtimes.

Outdoor learning is a cornerstone of their approach, with a large garden space offering diverse activities regardless of weather, including growing areas for fruits and vegetables to teach children about nature and sustainability. The staff, known as educators, are crucial to the nursery's ethos, forming strong relationships with children and parents, and ensuring continuous development through observations and assessments.

They are highly trained in areas such as Paediatric First Aid and safeguarding. Parents are kept informed through the ParentZone app, which provides daily updates, photos, and videos of their child's progress and experiences.
