The two Owner/Managers work within provision, one holds a Early Years degree the other holds an NNEB. Both have over 40yrs experience between them. We work closely with Nottingham Trent University and have a member of staff completing her Early Years Teacher Training. We have a very experienced Special Educational Needs Officer who is also part of the management team who monitors and assess children's learning to make sure they are at the required level. We work closely with parents and outside agencies to make sure children get the best possible start to their learning and development. Staff are highly experienced in Child Education & development and this was highlighted in our recent Ofsted. 

We provide an environment rich in open ended resources that encourage children's natural awe and wonder.

Our highly professional staff team work as keyworkers to small groups of children and assess and plan for their individual learning and development. They will keep you informed on a termly basis as to your child's development and we hold yearly parent consultations to discuss your child's learning and development.

Childcare Information and Additional Needs

Settling In

How will you help children to settle into your setting?
We do home visits in the summer term to meet the children in their familiar surroundings. We also have a new starters day when all the new children who will be starting in the September come together with their parents. Both parents and children get to spend time with their child's keyworker who will support and discuss with you, your child's transition to Pre-school and complete any paperwork with you for registration . We have an online system that parents can access to ask any questions to their child's keyworker. The keyworkers will also keep parents informed as to how your child is settling in and send you pictures of them within provision so you can see their devlopment.

Progress

How will you communicate with parents/carers about their child's progress?
We have an online system that is password protected in which each parent can access their child's educational record. Staff will send information through this as to your child's development and will explain how you can support their next steps. You will also be able to add to this with any things your child does or achieves outside of Pre-school and add anything you would like your child to learn about. We have yearly parent updates with parents. These can be in person, by phone, webchat or by sending you a report. We also observe and assess your child's development and send a report via our online learning journal.
