Holly House Day Nursery

Holly House Day Nursery and Out of School Club was founded in response to an awareness of the growing demand for high quality day care and pre-school education. Holly House is registered with ofsted, is part of the eco schools scheme and is the linked childcare provider for - St Paul's Heathside children's centre.

Staff in the Baby room strive to provide a safe, warm and caring environment enabling the babies the freedom to explore and investigate, which in turn will arm them with the confidence and self esteem to develop into inquisitive and happy toddlers. When I'm tired I just crawl into the sleep room and have a well earned rest on my bed.

There's always lots to get stuck into in the Baby room - the room is divided into the same types of area as they are in rest of the Nursery to give the children a start with a wide range of activities to enjoy and learn through.

From the interesting range of natural materials in the Heuristic area, exciting books to look at in the Cosy area, the carpet which is great for constructive and small world play, and then there's all the things that help understanding of the real world in the Home corner - and finally, who can't forget the gooey sticky stuff in the messy Creative area.

The Baby room are lucky as they eat the same as the rest of the Nursery so get to sample great delights such as Spaghetti Bolognese and garlic bread, Sweet and Sour Chicken and rice, Tuna Gratin with carrots, and Chicken Casserole with green beans and cauliflower - of course, we puree them all to make it easier for little mouths!

Here in the School room the children are provided with an environment of challenging & fun activities with the emphasis on freedom of choice. The staff incorporate all the skills within the EYFS framework that a child will need to enable a smooth and positive transition to school. We have been dressing up in costumes and made lanterns and me and my friends made a gigantic dragon.
