Our Nursery is open for 51 weeks of the year, and is closed at weekends and on bank holidays.

We are closed between 23rd December and the first working day after the 1st January.

We are open between the hours of 7.30am and 6.30pm, Monday - Friday.

Food and Nutrition

We are keen to give children a healthy balanced diet providing sociable mealtimes for the children to share food together. We strongly encourage all children to take part in eating a healthy cooked meal together; learning to lay tables, serve dishes and try delicious new flavours! We also provide the children with a nutritious mid-morning and afternoon snack. 

All meals are prepared and cooked on site each day by our lovely in house chef. We do not use salt in our cooking and try to use sugar sparingly. All our menus contain a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables. 

Vegetarian options are always available and we are happy to cater for any allergies or cultural and religious requirements. When it is time to wean your baby, we are here to follow your desires and our staff can also give you advice and support.

Security

We have a bio metric (fingerprint) entry and exit system which works by using a numeric code of staff finger prints, therefore the door will only open for a member of staff.

Staff

Prior to joining our team staff are required to successfully complete our recruitment process including obtaining an enhanced DBS and accredited references. Upon employment all new members of the staff team complete our Kinderland induction, sharing the value of our Kinderland ethos and our vision. The induction process also includes a rigorous training programme. We aim for our entire team to be certified Paediatric First Aiders.

Continuous professional development is paramount to our great practice and we provide ample opportunities for staff.

Staff must keep all personal property in lockers and mobile phones are not permitted in the rooms. We also ask that parents refrain from using their mobile phones unless really necessary.
