Toddington Childcare and Forest School

About this day nursery

Toddington Childcare & Forest School, an independent Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO), provides a stimulating and secure learning environment for children aged 12 months to 9 years. Located within the grounds of Toddington St. George Church of England School, the nursery offers full-day care and Early Years education.

The setting places a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, having proudly achieved Forest School status in 2017. They cater to different age groups with dedicated rooms: Panda Room for 1-2 year olds, Zebra Room for 2-3 year olds, and Giraffe Room for 3-4 year olds.

The curriculum is tailored to individual needs, fostering independence, resilience, and a passion for learning. The nursery operates with a supportive Parent Management Committee, which helps to oversee practices, finances, and fundraising efforts.

They also collaborate with various local authority teams and educational institutions to ensure continuous staff development and high-quality provision. The nursery prioritises safeguarding, health and safety, and food hygiene, with all staff holding relevant First Aid certifications.

They also offer before and after school clubs, as well as a holiday club. The nursery closes only for the Christmas and New Year period, the last week of August, and statutory bank holidays, as well as any Inset/Staff training days.
