## About this day nursery

Northumberland Day Nursery, located in Reading, RG2 7PW, operates from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, offering flexible childcare solutions for busy families. Housed in a spacious Victorian property, the nursery provides distinct areas tailored for different age groups, ensuring a comfortable and stimulating environment.

The nursery prioritises holistic child development through its 'Complete Care,' 'Complete Development,' 'Complete Environments,' 'Complete Nutrition,' and 'Complete Learning' philosophies. They emphasise creating a safe, secure, and nurturing space where children feel comfortable exploring and expressing themselves.

The curriculum is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Guidance, with a focus on activities that support each child's developmental milestones. Regular observations are recorded and shared with parents via the Famly app, detailing learning journeys and daily activities.

The nursery also features a dedicated top floor for the youngest children, including a tranquil sleep room. Older children can explore interconnected rooms downstairs.

The outdoor area is designed for all-weather play, featuring a free-flow covered activity area and a main garden with diverse play zones. Fresh, nutritionally balanced meals are prepared on-site, accommodating various dietary needs.

Furthermore, the nursery incorporates specialised programmes such as 'Boogie Mites' for music and movement, and encourages extensive outdoor learning. There are no administration fees or large financial deposits, and payments can be made via Direct Debit for simplified financial management.

Our ethos

As a group, we believe children thrive when the adults around them are supported to grow — which is why staff development, wellbeing and progression sit at the heart of everything we do. We believe all children have an equal right to be fulfilled, unique and healthy individuals. Our vision is to provide the caring, happy and challenging environment every day which their parents would want themselves, making them 'Ready to learn, ready for life.'

What it's like

Children thrive in this welcoming and safe nursery, quickly settling into exciting activities created by staff. The thoughtfully resourced outside space, including natural materials, encourages imagination and physical development.

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. Staff implement strategies for early intervention well and ensure that children make good progress, initiating action plans to support children before a referral has been made to outside agencies.

Outdoor space

The outside space is thoughtfully resourced, including natural materials for children to freely explore. This encourages imagination, as well as physical development. During a sudden downpour, staff actively encourage children to experience the fun of splashing in puddles and collecting rainwater in different-sized pots.
