We use a fabulous nursery system called Famly for our nursery management and to communicate with our nursery parents. Alongside this, we will be creating wonderful scapbooks to document those all-important milestone moments.
We have a lovely bijou outside space which encourages children to explore well managed risky play. We also enjoy regular trips to Saint John’s Wood Church Garden and Regents Park which are just a stone throws away from the nursery.
We have set changing times throughout the day; however, children will be changed as and when needed. We love to support children with potty training, so providing parents and carers are doing this at home, we can do it nursery too. Your child’s key buddy will give more advice when the time comes.
We have excellent facilities where fresh and sustainable food is prepared daily for the children. All meals are made with a vegetarian base and meat can be added for those that want it. We have a very simple but effective traffic light system to support the nursery team with all dietary needs.
As a new registration we do not have an official Ofsted rating yet. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience from our amazing staff team, who offer outstanding experience for the children. We also work closely with the local authority’s childcare and quality team.
We have a very effective settling in process which is done over 5 days. Throughout the whole process the need of the child is always put first, and we have a degree of flexibility to ensure that the children feel secure once the process is finished.
We are a 50-place setting accepting children from 10 month to 4 years.
We have a minimum of 3 full days (we don’t do half days) per week, including either a Monday or a Friday per child and the booking pattern needs to be consistent each week
Any changes to a booking pattern 6-weeks’ notice are required, if we can accommodate it sooner, we will. If you are wanting to leave nursery you will need to give 8 weeks’ notice.
We use a fabulous nursery system called ‘Famly’ for our nursery management and to communicate with our nursery parents. There is also a brilliant mobile app, available on IOS and Android which will allow you to get direct updates on how your child is getting on.
We always try our best to support as many families as possible with any long- or short-term medical needs. With regards to sickness, we follow the public health guidance for staff and children.
