Little Angels Nursery

About Us

Our aim is to provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment for children in our community, where they can learn and develop through play. We actively promote and encourage the development of positive self-image and confidence and with our staff we create an environment that assists both parents and children to feel secure, happy and relaxed.

In addition to this we are also able to fully access other facilities within the leisure centre such as the main sports hall for physical play and a soft-play area, dance classes, swim classes and have the use of a fabulous outdoor area.

The nursery operates with fully qualified staff; with the Nursery manager certificated to NVQ level 4 working towards a foundation degree and the supervisor being certificated to NVQ level 3 in Childcare and the assistants to NVQ level 2 in Childcare.  All staff who work directly in the nursery attend regular training courses to ensure they are fully up to date with new practices and with first aid.  In addition to this, all staff that work within the leisure centre are Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked on commencement of employment.

Enrolment

All parents must complete an enrolment form for each of their children before they can attend Little Angels Nursery. The enrolment form is your contract and is retained by Little Angels Nursery; however a copy of this form can be requested for your personal records. 

If at any time you wish to terminate your child’s nursery place, you must do so in written form and give four weeks notice. If you leave before your notice is up you will still be charged for this period.

If at any point we cannot reach a child’s main carers for illness absence or account arrears we will use the emergency details as next point of contact.

Settling In

Parents are encouraged to bring their child to Little Angels Nursery for a short stay visit before they officially start, however parents must stay on site for this visit.  A number of visits will be available depending on the individuality of each child. We encourage parents to let their children bring a favourite toy or comforter until they are settled.

Timetable & Routine

Our Nursery believes that care and education are equally important in the experience which we offer children. The routines and activities that make up the sessions/day in the Nursery are provided in ways that:

• Help each child to feel that they are a valued member of our nursery by ensuring their values and interests are catered for
• Ensure the safety of each child
• Help children to gain from the social experience of being part of a group
• Provide children with opportynities to learn and help them value learning
