Childcare Services
Burnholme Nursery provides Ofsted-registered childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Our qualified team delivers individualised attention through key person relationships, following Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines. The nursery features dedicated baby, toddler, and preschool areas with both structured and free-flow play opportunities.
Early Years Education
We deliver curriculum-based early education under the EYFS framework, focusing on four key themes: A Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments, and Learning and Development. Staff plan age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive, social, and physical development through both adult-led and child-initiated play.
Outdoor Play Areas
Children have access to a purpose-designed outdoor space with covered areas for all-weather play. Facilities include sand and water play zones, mud kitchens, balancing equipment, bikes, trikes, and themed gardens. The outdoor environment supports physical development and sensory exploration in a safe, stimulating setting.

We provide balanced meals and snacks prepared daily by our onsite cook, including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and snacks. Menus feature home-cooked dishes with options for special dietary requirements. The nursery maintains a nut-free policy to ensure food safety for all children.

Daily updates are provided through the Famly app, including 'wow' moments with photos and observations. Parents receive daily diaries for babies and toddlers, while preschoolers' progress is documented in individual learning journeys.
