Welcome to Early Years Nursery
Early Years Nursery opened in 2002 and we are proud to have nurseries located on Norman Way and in the grounds of Swallowdale Primary School. We are validated by Leicestershire County Council (LCC) and are Ofsted registered.
At Early Years Nursery we understand the importance of providing children with positive learning experiences. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and actively encourage children to explore our rich learning environments, both in and outdoors. We have high expectations of the children and our ethos is to create thriving, happy, confident and independent learners.
About Us
Our nursery is led by a highly qualified and enthusiastic team. Owner Joy is an Early Years Graduate and Early Years Professional (EYP) and Nursery Lead Becky is a PGCE Graduate with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Nursery Manager Sally and Deputy Manager Hannah at the Norman Way nursery are both Early Years Graduates and Nursery Manager Kate at the Swallowdale nursery has an Early Years qualification.
Our Managers lead a team of qualified and motivated Early Years staff who are trained in Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Food Hygiene and Health and Safety.
We believe every child deserves the best possible start in life and have created a high quality “play based” curriculum to support this.
Our curriculum is delivered by knowledgeable staff who promote learning and development based on children’s interests to ensure motivated learners access both indoor and outdoor environments. This supports a child centred approach to learning.
We work alongside the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and together we believe this promotes a secure foundation for school readiness and lifelong learning.
Our aim is to provide:
• quality, consistency and inclusivity to
ensure that every child makes good
progress
• a secure foundation through learning and
development opportunities which are
planned around the needs and interests
of each individual child
• a strong working partnership between
the key person and parent/carer
• equality of opportunity through an
inclusive and anti-discriminatory practice
