Playhouse Day Nursery is a vibrant haven where the seeds of learning, curiosity, and imagination are lovingly nurtured. Within its colorful walls, young minds embark on a journey of discovery, guided by caring staff who serve as mentors and friends.
Laughter and giggles fill the air as children engage in playful activities, from finger painting masterpieces to building towering block castles. Storytime transports them to magical realms, where dragons roam and fairies dance, igniting a passion for storytelling and literature. In this enchanted space, every corner holds the promise of adventure and growth, shaping the foundation for a lifetime of exploration and wonder.
We believe it is important to work in partnership with parents and carers and pride ourselves on the relationships we build.
We understand every child is learning as soon as they are born. They all have their own minds and individual needs.
We appreciate that having a base of loving and secure realtionship with parents & carers enable children to become strong and independent
We are constantly striving to create and environment that inspires, stimulates and supports your child's development and learning
We ensure that all the children benefit from an ambitious curriculum that helps them prepare for what they need next.
• Children benefit from an ambitious curriculum that helps them to prepare for what they need to learn next.
• Babies explore sand and watch it slip through their fingers as staff introduce new words and sounds. Toddlers sit on staffs' knees and listen to their favourite stories. They rapidly learn new words and point to pictures in the book. This helps to develop children's communication and language skills.
• Children are physically active. They have regular access to the large outdoor area at the setting where they play hide and seek games with staff. Babies laugh as they dance to music. Older children move their bodies in different ways during large group activities, such as 'dancing like monkeys'.
• Parents are happy with the care and education provided. They are assured that their children are happy and safe in nursery. They appreciate the time that staff spend to give them feedback about their child's day in nursery.
• A well-managed settling in procedure allows the wide range of diverse children and their families to feel both welcomed and supported.
• Outdoor play opportunities have recently been enhanced by additional resources. Grab and go boxes have been introduced to help promote outdoor learning. A sensory garden is used for the children to grow herbs, fruit and vegetables. This space promotes mindfulness and used for children to understand the growing process.
• Continuity of care is practiced well due to a settled staff team who children are familiar with. This supports strong attachments allowing children to feel safe and secure. The unique child ethos within the setting is strong, practitioners respond to children effectively and clearly know them well.
