The nursery is purpose-built with three distinct rooms catering to babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, all overseen by qualified staff committed to fostering a nurturing, kind, and enjoyable learning environment. In addition to the individual age-group rooms, the facility boasts a soft play area and two gardens for children to explore. The day care prioritises a safe environment, engaging activities that spark creativity and exploration, and strong partnerships with parents to enrich each child's experience. What it's like Staff at Pound Lane Daycare know their children well and effectively adapt the curriculum to foster a positive attitude towards learning. They are adept at recognising potential triggers for unwanted behaviours, redirecting play, and providing children with calm spaces, books, or physical activity as needed, which helps children to self-regulate and understand behavioural expectations. Children, especially the older ones, develop good numerical knowledge and high self-esteem through consistent praise, while younger children enjoy the soft-play area, developing physical skills and forming strong bonds with familiar adults.
