Tiny Talkers Day Nursery

Tiny Talkers is a small, friendly day care provider, offering the highest possible standards of care and education within a fun, stimulating and homely environment.

At Tiny Talkers we believe that all children are unique and follow a ‘Reggio Emilia Approach’ to children, families, and learning. We recognise children’s individual interests and developmental stages and build on these to plan and provide activities to develop their confidence, creativity, and independence.

Our wonderful staff have qualifications from PGCE to level 2. All staff on or below level 2 are working towards level 3.

We have a Millies Mark award. This means that all staff are paediatric first aid trained which is reviewed each year and updated every 3 years. Millies Mark is an exceptional achievement for a childcare setting as it shows we are going above and beyond minimum requirements in keeping children safe.

We have a low staff turn over and staff have been with me for many years as stated on our website.

Our day starts at 7.30am. Children begin their day with breakfast then choose where they would like to play. As we are a Reggio inspired nursery, children take the lead in their learning and our skilled Reggio practitioners facilitate their learning both indoors and outdoors. Our resources are very open-ended and enable children to use their imagination, expand their language and learn in many ways that traditional plastic toys restrict.

We have a fabulous outdoor area which is accessed in all weathers. Children can choose to play indoors or outdoors, and all age groups mix so no room is restricted to a time slot. We encourage siblings to get together when they want to both indoors and outdoors. We also use our wider environment and library as well as taking trips out to the farm, castle and much more.

We are responsible for the maintenance of a portion of canal in partnership with the riverside trust. Children love to spend time by the canal and have helped keep the pathways clear as well as watching duck eggs hatch.

Our meals are all freshly prepared on site by our amazing cook and all allergies and preferences are catered for. Whilst at nursery children get breakfast, snack, dinner, snack, and tea.

Childcare Information and Additional Needs

Settling In

How will you help children to settle into your setting?: All settling in sessions are arranged with the family and are tailored to the child's and families needs. The sessions start with short visits with a main carer and then lengthen out with the carer leaving their child for short periods of time and then longer as the child settles. Information about the child is gathered such as any routines they may have, food preferences and/or allergies, comforters, significant events, family make up (siblings etc) and other information that the parent wishes to give to enable the child to settle.

Progress

How will you communicate with parents/carers about their child's progress?: Daily feedback to parent/carer is given at pick up - information on the day, activities and any significant progress that has been made. Every 4 weeks the parents are emailed information on the skills and learning that is planned for in the rooms. This gives an insight to what children will be learning and general focus for the next few weeks. A parents morning takes place each term to share more in-depth information about progress and next steps. Room displays, Facebook and Instagram all show ongoing activities.

Special Additional Needs

Do you have experience of working with children with Special Education Needs: Yes

Experience:

Deaf/Hearing impairment
Global developmental delay
Autism
Speech and language difficulties
Visual impairment
Communication and interaction needs
Sensory impairment
Social, emotional and mental health needs
Learning Difficulties
Physical disabilities

Details of SEND experience and training: Through gaining as much information as possible from parents/cares before their child starts with us, we are able to get an idea of what the children can do, enjoy doing and are interested in. From observing children whilst at nursery we can then provide activities based around the children's individual needs and interests that link in with small and achievable goals that get regularly reviewed and shared with parents and carers.
