Nursery
Nazareth Care Day Nursery, formerly Nazareth House Day Nursery, has been recently refurbished and extended to the highest latest standard over the winter months of late 2010 and early 2011. The nursery was officially opened on Saturday 9th April 2011 by Peter Whalley one of the script writers for Coronation Street, who as a local also used to bring his son to the nursery 25 years ago.
At the Nazareth House Day Nursery, we are committed to providing a safe and caring environment for children, which encourages and develops their confidence and self esteem and helps them appreciate and value each other.
We aim to provide an excellent service, which is planned and developed to the highest professional standards so that each child is supported and benefits from their time at nursery.
A wide range of play and learning opportunities are created where children can explore and investigate. Equipment is used to meet the needs of all children in and out of doors, which is important to their development.
About us
Nazareth House Day Nursery is a private Day Nursery which is set in the substantial and attractive grounds of Nazareth House. We make full use of the space for recognising the beauty of nature and wildlife. We take advantage of our setting to extend planned and free play activities outdoors.
The nursery has been established in caring for children for over 39 years and caters for up to 67 children. We are open all year round, except Bank Holidays.
The nursery is divided into three rooms of varying age groups:
- Bluebells for 0-2 years
- Poppies for 2-3 years
- Sunflowers for pre-school children
Our dedicated staff, most of whom hold either NNEB or B.Tec qualifications, are committed to provide a high standard of day care in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They have all undergone the CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checks required for those who work with children. Continuing professional development is encouraged for all staff to ensure that the standard of care provided by the nursery is of the highest quality. This ongoing program includes in-house training sessions and attendance on specific courses relating to all areas of child care.
The nursery has an open door policy which enables parents and staff to share information and discuss any issues relating to the care of their child; we operate a Key Worker system where the key person co-ordinates information about the child’s individual needs and development and shares this with the parents.
We actively promote healthy eating and provide a morning snack, cooked lunch and light afternoon tea. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always included and the cost is included in the sessional fees. We cater to all dietary requirements and we prepare all our own freshly cooked, healthy and nutritional meals.
The nursery has two large soft play areas, one suitable for under 2s and the other for two years and over. Both are suitable for babies and children to play happily and safely. The two years and over soft play has had a covered area built and the under 2s play area has had Sail Canopies installed during the refurbishment. We also have a large garden at the rear for all age groups to use which has been newly landscaped for adventure play and has a vegetable and flower garden which has had the addition of fruit bushes purchased with the "Let's Grow" vouchers from Morrison's.
All aspects of the appropriate national curriculum are included during the children’s time here and we couple it with fun, care and love so that each day spent at nursery is a pleasure as well as a learning opportunity.
