Our youngest members occupy spacious, fully equipped playrooms with adjoining, kitchen and bathroom.  We are very proud of our Nursery Departments where our babies are cared for and loved by a long-standing team of highly qualified and experienced Nursery Practitioners. Our staff are “hand picked” for their abilities and expertise with young babies.   

                                                                
We are very particular about standards of hygiene and in the Nursery extra care and attention is taken. For example – all the toys and equipment used are regularly washed with anti-bacterial cleaner regular basis (especially those toys put into mouths).  Dishwashers are used to ensure sterilisation of all cups, dishes and cutlery (this is so for all areas).

The developmental activities for children in the Nursery department are planned on a weekly basis using the “Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance” as set out by the Department of Education, by staff who have been trained in child development.  This planning is available for parents to view on the notice board and in each child’s profile.

For children aged 0 to 2 years we provide a staff-to-child ratio of 1:3.

As the toddlers in the Nursery become more and more confident on their feet and progress towards more social and gregarious play we gradually introduce them to the next stages of development in the Lower Kindergarten.
