Benefits of Pre-School Education

Children who have had the opportunity of a good pre-school education settle into primary school well and find the curriculum in primary school a continuation of what they have experienced in nursery.

In many instances, you will find that your child has developed both socially and academically.

Need for Childcare

There is a growing need for full-time daycare and parents need to know that their children are in a safe, caring, loving and stimulating environment where all their needs will be met and where their children will be happy.

We are committed to providing this.

Our Aims

  • To provide a warm, happy and safe environment for all children in our care.
  • To provide a broad balance of relevant activities that will enhance a child’s knowledge and development.
  • To provide an environment rich in experience, where children will learn to question, investigate and discuss, thus developing an understanding of the world.
  • To provide the basis from which a child can develop a tolerant and understanding attitude towards each other, e.g. sharing and co-operation.
  • To record and monitor a child’s development thus enabling staff to evaluate and meet the needs of every individual child.
  • To provide the basis from which a child can develop a sense of self-respect through the acquisition of self-confidence, self-discipline, self-responsibility and self-awareness.
  • To provide a sensitive and positive approach between parents and staff.
  • To meet all local authority requirements and strive to maintain our high standards of care.
  • To meet Ofsted requirements, maintaining our high standards, confidentiality, health and safety.

Our Staff are carefully chosen for their caring natures and for their first-hand experience with children. Our team consists of a dedicated Nursery Manager, assisted by nursery professionals who hold a wealth of qualifications. Continuous staff training ensures everyone is able to carry out their duties in a competent and professional manner. We also work closely with the Bishop Auckland Technical College, training nursery nurse students.

We seek, through a balanced curriculum, to encourage your child to develop emotionally and intellectually to their fullest potential, providing each child with a sound foundation for their formal education.

All meals are provided by fully qualified cooks dedicated to providing a balanced diet. There is always a vegetarian alternative and provision is made for special dietary needs.

All staff are DBS checked.
