About this day nursery

Wyvern College Childcare, known as Hatchlings Childcare, provides a welcoming, secure, and joyful learning space for young children. As an Ofsted-registered facility, it caters to children from three months to five years old, operating 51 weeks a year.

The childcare provision is segmented into a Day Nursery and a term-time only Pre-School. The Day Nursery runs Monday to Friday from 7:45 am to 6:00 pm, accommodating children in three distinct rooms: Baby Dragons, Dragontots, and Mini Dragons, each with indoor and outdoor play areas.

The Pre-School, Dragon’s Nest, is for two- to five-year-olds and operates from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm during term time, with funded hours from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Additionally, Hatchlings offers a wraparound service called Dragons After School Club for Year R children from Fair Oak Infants School, extending care until 6:00 pm.

The dedicated and qualified staff are committed to delivering high-quality early years education, fostering social interaction, and providing diverse learning opportunities in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines. The aim is to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive and develop.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning and development. Children with SEND have their needs met well, with staff undertaking additional training as needed and working effectively together to ensure children can access the full provision.

Outdoor space

Children develop their mark-making skills by drawing 'panda footprints' around the garden. Very young children practise their climbing skills on age-appropriate climbing frames.
