My daughter is about to wrap up her final week at the nursery in 'Green Room' before starting school. As you do when choosing any nursery for your child, we viewed several different options in and around where we were moving to. All were nice but Sandcastle had its own homely feel to it that absolutely couldn't be beaten. I don't mind saying, moving from a village nursery setting previously, I had concerns before visiting as to its 'busier' location but once you set foot in the door you realise it's a wonderful space filled with light and lots of happy faces. We moved to the area when our little girl was 2, she had been used to another nursery setting, attending 4 days a week and the transition in to Sandcastle Nursery was handled seamlessly by the team (even on the hottest week of the year I might add). Things I noticed immediately in comparison to our previous nursery was the experience and dedication of the staff at Sandcastle. Day's were clearly planned out, breakfast was a calm affair (how they do that with multiple toddlers I will never know!), the children learn to sit and wait for their friends to finish eating before leaving the table and I could tell that each child's own interests were explored and championed. My little girl moved through 3 of the 5 rooms (missing the baby rooms due to her age) and each move was again handled with care, so much so she barely noticed. Where possible a key worker from the room moves up with them to aid with familiarity which again was lovely to see. It's worth noting that when I initially looked at nursery's (and in the previous setting my little girl was in), I was always looking to ensure there was an blow-by-blow account on an app so i could see what was going on all the time. Sandcastle don't operate like that, albeit there is an app and as parents we do get lovely updates with photos and videos and a synopsis of what's been happening. I came to realise though, I only needed the app with the constant updates when I didn't really trust that my little one was in the absolute best hands. At Sandcastle I just knew, I didn't need to see her every moment, I could tell when i picked her up every evening and dropped her off every morning, and that for me was an important learning curve on what to look for when it comes to the best nursery for your child. We have come away with amazing memories of singing carols by the xmas tree outside the nursery every Christmas, a handwritten birthday card and book for every birthday, family fun day's over weekends, Father's & Mother's day stay and play sessions, nativity shows, baking, outdoor play, music lessons, drama with Katie, French with Kathy etc etc. The entire team are wonderful, for us there are some special mentions for Jo, Christina, Myles, Naheeda, Gaynor & David!
