What You Can Expect

Caring And Nurturing Staff

Our main focus is our children and therefore, we have measures in place to ensure your child is getting the care they need. If your child has had medication prior to coming into nursery can you please notify the Room Leader. All medications are stored in a locked medical cabinet or where required a designated fridge.

Ideal Environment For Your Child To Grow

Our children LOVE getting messy. We do lots of creative activities that the children really look forward to and fully engage in. We provide an engaging environment to enable us to produce intuitive and developing children. We very much see ourselves as a resource, constantly updating the environment and offering new and interesting opportunities to learn.

Children Develop Into Fabulous Individuals

Everything that we do in our day nurseries is based around the children. Each child in the Nurseries has a designated Key Person and they will be responsible for ensuring that your child is happy, and engaged. Also, we celebrate every child’s achievement and successes equally. We display all children’s creations and recognise that they are unique.

Ofsted 'Good' Rating Across All Our Nurseries

The First For Childcare nursery group has an ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. We are constantly developing our methods and ensuring our quality and standards stay high.

Safeguarding Measures

We ensure your child is kept safe at all times from any dangers. Our entrances are secure and we do ask that you do not allow any other visitors into the nursery. We have measures in place for the safety of your children whilst in our care.

Delicious Meals To Encourage Healthy Eating Habits

We cater for all special dietary requirements and all our food is prepared on the premises. Our aim is always to create interesting and nutritious meals for children of all ages on a daily basis.
