Jack & Jill Nursery

Our baby unit has been specially designed for our youngest children to give a feeling of warmth and security combined with a selection of carefully chosen toys and activities. Our baby unit offers a separate sleeping area so your child can sleep and have naps whenever needed. We also have a separate "little garden" which is shared with the toddlers.

The Toddler Room is for children aged approximately 2-3 years old. This is an exciting time for your child with many new challenges, experiences and opportunities. A real time of learning and exploration! This is also a time when children are developing their independence but also need support and encouragement to build their self-esteem and positive attachments.

At Jack and Jill Nursery the pre-school room has been designed to cater for children from 3 years to pre-school age. This is the time when your child will be developing their independence, self-esteem, self-confidence and resilience, ready for the challenge of moving to primary school.

Our dedicated practitioners use "planning in the moment" to ensure that each child reaches their individual potential this will be based around the children's interests and their next steps in development.It also includes the world around them such as the seasons, the weather or life cycle. The caf style snack table encourages the children to try a selection of different food types, to build an understanding of a healthy and balanced diet.

We encourage our children to spend as much time as possible outside in the fresh air and we foster a love of outdoor exploration and fun - whatever the weather!. We have a "big garden" which is mainly for our pre-school children and older toddlers and a "small garden" for our children aged under 2. All children have daily outdoor play and outdoor learning sessions.

We base our curriculum around the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) set within the context of family, local community, changing seasons and special days of the year. We encourage child-initiated activities to develop independence.

As each child develops at a different rate, our staff will monitor and assess each child individually and on a daily basis to provide the best possible activities and experiences to extend their learning and development.Every child deserves the best possible start in life to fulfil their potential.
