The Nest Nursery

Established in 2017, we offer high-quality, flexible, and affordable early years childcare and wrap-around care to the local community. Our aim is to provide a 'home from home' environment for all children within a friendly, family-oriented setting.

Our Aims and Commitments

At The Nest Nursery, we are committed to providing the highest quality of care by continually reflecting, training, and striving for excellence, while keeping the children's interests at the heart of what we do. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop their own unique strengths and abilities, and our experienced and passionate practitioners are dedicated to supporting each child's individual development.

In the Moment Planning

We believe in putting each child's interests at the heart of their learning and environment. Our qualified practitioners will provide the time, resources, support, and space to help the children develop their own learning and play in a holistic way. We regularly observe, consult, plan, and participate in the children's learning, creating a safe and inclusive environment.

Our Rooms

We have three dedicated rooms catering to children aged 0-5, each designed to meet the unique needs and interests of each age group:

• Hatchlings (0-2): A room that supports individual progression and development, from rolling and crawling to sitting, standing, and beyond.
• Nestlings (2-3): A visually stimulating room to capture and maintain the attention of the children and help them embark upon learning through a fun, interactive approach.
• Fledglings (3-5): Our pre-schoolers are given opportunities to access the seven areas of the curriculum through well-designed and structured areas.

Extra Curricular Opportunities

We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including:

• Forest School: A unique outdoor learning experience that encourages children to explore, discover, and learn in a natural environment.
• Pyjama Drama sessions for our 2-5-year-olds, designed to improve social, emotional, and cognitive skills through fun and engaging activities.
• After School Club for school-aged children, providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to relax, play, and learn after school.
