First Stage

Our staff will care for your baby or very young child on an individual basis, taking into account your child’s own sleeping patterns. In a safe and stimulating environment, your child’s development will be carefully monitored – the Nursery working in partnership with you. We have a ‘Key Worker’ system in place.

Baby food is specially prepared onsite and is well balanced, wholesome and nutritious.

Second Stage

At all stages your child will be introduced and encouraged to take part in stimulating educational play and social interaction. Because of Nyehome’s traditional values and approach, the first seeds of self-discipline and respect for others are sown. Staff will carefully monitor your child’s progression, under all the areas of learning.

Third Stage

By now our aim is that your child should have greater social skills, improved concentration and keen to learn. They will be introduced to all elements of the pre-school national curriculum, working in small groups. In this way, Nyehome will have laid the foundations for school and provide you with an up to date record of your child’s achievements.

We have a qualified pre-school teacher at all of our Nurseries. Nursery Nurses work with the Teacher to organise planning.

Helping your child to reach their full potential

In the early years a child learns in many different ways.
Development records are kept for monitoring progress.

Learning and Development

The best way to help your child reach his or her physical potential is to make activity enjoyable.

Your child will work in a small group, with individual attention from qualified staff. The aim is to gently develop concentration and confidence in preparation for school days ahead.

Enabling Environment

We offer indoor and outdoor play, musical movement/dancing, which is all planned and assessed.

Unique Child

These skills are vital for any child’s emotional well-being. In a relaxed and enjoyable environment your child will develop both listening and visual skills.

Positive relationship

This is a key area of activity at Nyehome. The abilities that are so important in later life begin here, developed through group interaction and small task responsibilities. Lots of praise, encouragement and good staff examples are given.

Self Expression

We’ll help your child explore creative pleasures through music, play and storytelling.

Learning and developing

We are keen to reinforce the teaching that children receive at home – promoting respect for the individual and for cultural differences through group work.

Special appetites

If your child is to stay all day we naturally share your concern that he or she enjoys a healthy, well balanced diet. At Nyehome, nutritious lunches are served and special dietary needs catered for. Mid-morning we serve a snack of fresh fruit and milk, for lunch a hot two course meal and mid afternoon a light tea which includes fresh fruit and milk.

You will find our weekly menus posted on the notice board.

Nursery Staff

Staff have been carefully selected for their aptitude with children and are suitably qualified with all Teachers having qualified teacher status. All staff are fully versed in Health, Safety and Security Procedures.

Our staff ratio for the birth to two years old group is one to three, for the two to three years old is one to four and for the three years old to school age is one to eight.

Our Policy of communication

At Nyehome we encourage parents to familiarise themselves with our Policy Documents and Child Care Agreement. We will also maintain a record of your child’s personal development, which is also available to you at any time. Our most effective forms of communication with parents other than daily contact are the Nyehome notice board, quarterly newsletter, curriculum and parent evenings, and this website.

When the children are ready to move onto Primary School their respective teachers are invited to Nyehome to meet them.

Safety

At Nyehome your child will be free to play explore and develop within a bright, pleasant and safe environment, including ample secure outdoor play areas.
