Tots2teens Daycare

About this day nursery

Tots2Teens Daycare, established in 2017, is a family-operated nursery situated in Barnsley, supporting children from birth up to 13 years old. The nursery prides itself on fostering a warm and nurturing environment, shaped by a management team dedicated to early years education since the nursery's inception.

They emphasise strong relationships, consistency, and care as fundamental to a child's development. The staff are highly qualified, with management and deputies holding Early Years degrees, and continuous professional development is a core part of their ethos.

All team members are paediatric first aid trained and hold Designated Safeguarding Lead qualifications, alongside training in food hygiene. Tots2Teens provides free meals, snacks, nappies, and wipes, ensuring all consumables are included.

Outdoor play is highly valued, with children encouraged to learn through exploration and movement in all weathers, promoting physical development and well-being. The nursery is community-focused and strives to create a secure, family-like atmosphere where children feel loved and supported.

They believe in strong parent partnerships, maintaining open communication and mutual respect to ensure consistent care and understanding for each child both at nursery and at home.

Our ethos

We are deeply passionate about early years education and believe that strong relationships, consistency and care are at the heart of children’s development. Ongoing training is a key part of our ethos, because when our team grows, so do the children. We believe children learn best through exploration, movement and play and being outdoors supports their physical development, confidence and wellbeing. We are a family-orientated nursery and care for children as we would want our own children to be cared for. We believe children thrive when there is trust between nursery and home.

What it's like

Children are very confident and highly motivated in their learning. They try hard when they face difficulties. Skilled staff know when to encourage or support them, and when to allow them time to have a go. Routine events, such as mealtimes, have a strong family feel, and children and staff have great respect for each other.
