Keeping you informed…

We all know that as soon as you pick up your little one from Nursery or Pre-school you ask the question ‘what did you do today’ and the answer in many cases is ‘nothing’. This really wont be the case in reality they have probably been having so much fun they just want to go home and relax.

You can keep a track of all the things your child has been learning as we display lots of photographs and the children’s handy work for you to see.

We hold parents evenings twice a year and you often have days where you are invited to come and play alongside your child. Of course if you have anything you would like to know in between times you are always welcome to speak to a member of staff at any time.

You can also read a copy of our monthly newsletter which is displayed on the parents notice board along with other information about Nursery Life.

Lots to do…

We offer a wide variety of activities all of which are age and stage appropriate. From painting and shape sorting to gardening and reading we have lots of offer all ages.

Your child will get involved in all aspects of Nursery life and we will actively gain their views by asking them what they would like to create and what resources they would like to use. At the same time we will also support them in trying new activities to help develop their independence and decision making skills.

We also have a secure outdoor area which the children love playing in. We have lots of toys, balls and ride ons for them to enjoy.

Everyone is cared for and valued…

Your child will become an active learner and be encouraged in lots of different ways – one of our most popular activities is growing vegetables in the vegetable patch and exploring the soil to see what they can find.

Even young babies are made to feel valued for their communications, their babbles will be responded to just like you would at home.

All children are encouraged and taught to share the resources with their friends and also to show kindness to each other.

Lots of People Visit…

We have lots of people visit the Nursery to share their knowledge and help the children learn new things.

Some of the people to recently visit us have been local Lollipop people who have helped teach the children all about crossing the road safely.

We have also had local members of the National Health Service come in and talk to the children about the importance of taking care of their own hygiene. They showed them how to keep their hands clean by using special hand washing procedures.

Staff…

Our staff are all carefully selected, fully qualified and receive ongoing training to ensure that they are constantly up to date with the latest legislation and childcare guidelines.

You will find that all members of staff have a genuine vocation in childcare and will build caring and friendly relationships with your child. They will also listen and respond to your child on an individual basis.

Meals & Nutrition…

At Dysart Nursery we believe the foundation for healthy eating begins by teaching children where food comes from and which foods are healthy and un-healthy.

Your child can take part in our own vegetable patch where they can plant seeds and watch them grow. Imagine their excitement when they come to ‘harvest’ their crop and take home their very own carrot which has been grown by them and then ‘hopefully’ eaten by them. We believe that this is without doubt the best way to encourage children to ‘eat their greens’.

We also have a number of miniature fruit trees in our garden – apples, pears and figs. The trees are ‘miniature’ so that children can reach the branches and (with adult supervision) eat the freshest fruit available!
