Built around the needs of your child
Educare Nursery was the first permanent brick purpose built nursery within the locality, and has been designed around the needs of children aged 16 wks - 5 years.

Each room within Educare Day Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, this ensures continuity for all children at the Nursery, and allows practitioners to plan exciting, stimulating and relevant activities for the individual needs of each child.

Baby Room
The baby room offers quality care in a peaceful, safe, clean and stimulating atmosphere where play and interaction with the nursery team is an important element of communication.

A daily record is kept on each child in our care and information is shared with you.

The Baby Room has lots of stimulating play equipment and activities – as with all the children in our care, babies are given a lot of attention and care due to our high staffing ratio.

Toddlers' Room
Our role in the Toddlers' Room is to ensure children are safe and secure in a bright and happy stimulating environment. Children play together, share and have fun together. Activities offer opportunities for the children to explore and investigate with lots of hands on activities and experiences.

- Two to Threes' and Three to Fives' Rooms
These rooms are for children ages 2 - 5 years and is the largest section within the nursery. Here we offer opportunities for the children to learn through their play. Activities are planned to offer maximum learning to enable each child to test out their ideas, to have a go, make decisions and to choose for themselves.

In order to prepare your child for school regular obercevations and asesments are carried out following the six areas of learning, in accordance with the Early Years' Foundation Stage.

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Communications, language and literacy
• Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
• Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Physical development
• Creative development

All the activities are planned and are prepared to meet your child’s individual needs, which is discussed with you on a regular basis. We ensure that all children are valued and develop a sense of achievement through learning which is made pleasurable.

Educare Garden
The garden offers a safe, exciting, challenging and healthy environment. At Educare Nursery the outdoor environment provides many important learning opportunities the children are able to move freely between the inside and the outside environments, with similar activities being carried out in both areas. Some examples of such activities are, tending to the vegetable patch, developing early writing through chalking and water play, exploring and investigating sounds in the music area, and developing an understanding of numbers through games such as hide and seek or what time is it Mr. Wolf.

Enjoyable Nutritious Meals and Refreshments
All meals are prepared on site by our cook and the nursery has won a number of awards in preparing healthy meals. We aim to provide a well-balanced and varied menu for full time children and children attending morning sessions. We also provide additional refreshment during the morning and afternoon.

Our menu’s are planned in advance and are displayed on the parent’s notice board. The menu is also reviewed by a nutritionist.
