Welcome to Child Care
Services
To enable students (and staff) to meet the
demands of their busy lives, we have two nurseries
offering low-cost child care for children
aged:
The nurseries operate from 7.30am
- 5.45pm Monday - Friday, 50 weeks of the
year. (We close for two weeks over the Christmas
vacation).
Attendance can be full-time or on a sessional
basis of morning and/or afternoon, enabling
students to make flexible use of child care
services.
Children are looked after in a caring, child-centred
environment by experienced and qualified staff
who provide a stimulating environment and
cultural diversity of pre-school education.
Hot meals (via an external caterer) are provided
at lunchtime, as are morning and afternoon
snacks, and there is access to FREE water
and fruits. There are also facilities for
rest or sleep. The children are all treated
as individuals who are encouraged to achieve
their full potential through play and guided
activities. The nurseries have successfully
undergone OFSTED inspection.
During half-term and summer holidays there
may be a possibility we could offer additional
places for children up to the age of eight,
depending on availability.
Both Nurseries close during the year for staff
planning and training days. You will be notified
at the beginning of each term of our closure
dates. (Although occasionally this may not
be possible)
Nursery Philosophy
The philosophy of both our nurseries is the
ultimate care of your child and providing
for all their needs: physical, intellectual,
linguistic, emotional, social, spiritual and
cultural.
"We aim to achieve this within a happy
and caring environment. The parental responsibility
for your children is also recognized and respected."
