The day nursery provides spacious, stimulating rooms where children engage in a variety of activities designed to foster their development. Babies benefit from sensory exploration, creative activities, messy play, and music and movement, all within a nurturing setting that adheres to individual routines. 5 years, have a room equipped for role-play, creative and physical activities, alongside a cosy rest area. In the day nursery room, daily routines incorporate cooking, messy and creative play, music, and explorations of different celebrations. The preschool room focuses on the seven areas of the early years curriculum, ensuring children learn through play and are challenged with activities like arts and crafts, ICT, and learning about the natural world. Additionally, Spanish and dance teachers visit weekly to broaden learning experiences. The nursery aims for children to be healthy, happy, communicative, sociable, curious, active, independent, and well-prepared for school. A large garden accessible in all weathers features areas for physical development, messy play, creative expression, and construction, including a pirate ship and a sensory garden for growing plants. The nursery also boasts a uniquely designed indoor soft play area with blocks, a ball pool, and slides for developing physical skills and having fun. Our ethos In the preschool rooms we believe that children should start school healthy, happy, communicative, sociable, curious, active, independent, ready and equipped for the next stage of life and learning. Being prepared for school is not simply knowing about letters and numbers. It is about making sure that children are ready to make friends, to play, to have the freedom of speech and communicate their needs confidently.

I would like to highlight the amazing care and learning which has been given to both my children in the time they have been at Shapes Reigate. An example would be last year when my 2 year old returned home and was telling my wife and I all about the continents of America, Asia and Africa. We were astonished by his knowledge which had been imparted by the staff at Shapes. Since my eldest son attended we have moved house and its a good 30 minute drive to get my youngest to shapes but we would not have it any other way. Shapes is a business but one that puts the love and care of the children at the forefront of the business. I know you would expect this of any childcare provider but sadly this isn't always the way. I would also like to have it stated that the owner Sue is a hands on owner who is on site weekly and is extremely approachable. Sue always states that if your a customer of Shapes your part of the Shapes family and as the saying goes... "You can pick your friends but not your family" but if I could, id pick shapes every day of the week!
