The day nursery dedicates itself to providing carefully planned learning experiences that foster creative thinking and problem-solving. Through a strong key person approach, the day nursery builds upon each child's individual strengths and interests, encouraging exploration and discovery while ensuring adaptability to change. The nursery draws inspiration from various educational philosophies. The Reggio Emilia approach guides the creation of a neutral, calm environment rich with natural objects, stimulating children's fascination and wonder, and allowing time and space for revisiting interests. The diverse cultural backgrounds of the children inspire the curriculum, broadening perspectives and celebrating differences. Furthermore, principles from Waldorf Steiner encourage experiential learning through practical activities and creative endeavours. Staff observe children at play, carefully planning activities to scaffold learning, promote independence, and build confidence and belonging. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is used to track developmental progress, working closely with families to focus on the child's holistic needs. The nursery also offers daily outings to local areas, promoting real-world learning and connection with nature, alongside music lessons, cooking activities, mindfulness, and yoga to support well-rounded development. Our ethos Puddle Jumpers Nursery's philosophy is rooted in fostering creative thinking, problem-solving and independence. They are inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, utilising a calm environment with natural objects to spark wonder and exploration. Principles from Waldorf Steiner also inform their experiential learning, with a focus on practical and creative activities. The nursery integrates the EYFS framework and values strong home-school partnerships, with daily outdoor excursions and a range of activities like music, cooking, and yoga to support holistic development. What it's like Staff help children to settle and separate easily from their parents on arrival. Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the nursery as they move around freely and with confidence. Leaders have devised a broad curriculum that helps children to learn what they need to know next.

From the very beginning, he felt happy, safe, and comfortable, which says everything. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely loving towards the children. Their kindness and consistency helped him grow in confidence and enjoy every stage of his time there. He always looked forward to his days at nursery, and that gave us real peace of mind as parents. We’re very grateful to the team for the care and attention they gave our son over the years and would happily recommend the nursery to other families.

The baby room staff and management team are friendly and approachable and there has ben consistency of my son's key person since he started. The babies are regularly taken on outings locally and spend time in the garden too. We receive regular updates via the app, weekly newsletter with photos etc. The food is cooked in house and the variety of food is excellent, balanced and healthy, mainly vegetarian. There is a nice nursery community with lots of extra events such as monthly coffee mornings for parents and a Mothers Day breakfast. Would highly recommend this nursery!

He has built excellent relationships with many of the baby-room team and has developed so much during his time at Puddle Jumpers. I appreciate that the team is quite stable and mostly the same faces each day. The planning seems to be well thought through, with many activities and almost daily trips out in the local area for the children. The menu sounds excellent and is very diverse, and parents are regularly updated on what the children are eating. Communication with the nursery management and the team in the room is easy, either by speaking to them at pick-up/drop-off or through the app. We also receive photos through the app regularly to know what the children are getting up to. Overall - a fantastic nursery with very kind staff! Would highly recommend.
