Nursery @ Whitefield

About this day nursery

Nursery at Whitefield, an independently owned establishment, operates within the premises of Whitefield Primary School, offering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children. The nursery aims to provide a space where children can freely explore, learn, and have fun, with a strong emphasis on self-discovery and memorable activities.

The setting boasts a variety of indoor and outdoor play areas, including a world area, home corner, maths area, sand and water play, construction zones, and creative arts spaces. There are plans to incorporate a willow den for forest school activities, encouraging children to engage with the outdoors in all weather conditions.

The dedicated staff are qualified in childcare, trained in paediatric first aid, food hygiene, and safeguarding, ensuring a high standard of care and education. The nursery prioritises parent partnership, offering an online system called Famly to keep parents updated on their child's learning journey and progress.

Admission is organised by the Manager, utilising a waiting list system with priority for siblings, and each child is assigned a key person to ensure personalised care and a smooth settling-in process.
