Structure

The nursery provides daycare and education in a comfortable and homely environment. Rooms are split into four age groups and children can move up as soon as they are able to cope with the demands of the next room and we have space to accommodate them.

Snowdrop Room - 6 weeks up to 18 months

A cosy room, predominately carpeted, with a no-shoe policy and a comfy sofa and cushions for lots of cuddles. We have a separate sleep room with wooden cots and grow-bags for each baby. Emma Ryder is a non-practising midwife and general nurse (and mother of 5) whose wealth of childcare experience is reassuring to new mothers. We take the babies for walks and also make the most of our garden, weather permitting.

Daffodil Room- 14 months - 30 months (approx)

As soon as babies start to toddle, they are encouraged to join the Daffodil Room. With the assistance of our wonderfully caring nursery nurses, they are introduced to a wealth of new sensory experiences inside and outside the nursery. As with the baby room, we have a separate sleep room.

Bluebell Room- 26 months - 3 1/2 years (approx)

Freedom of movement is encouraged as much as is practical in this room. We have access to the garden at all times to encourage all sorts of play outdoors. We also have a separate sleep room which can accommodate sleeping children if required.

Sunflower Room- From 3 years (approx)

This room is overseen by a qualified teacher. We benefit from regular extra-curricular activities. We adhere closely to the EYFS, which is carefully structured to the needs of each individual child. The emphasis is very much on learning through play and experiences, and we benefit hugely from our rural environment.
