The Premises
The Premises
The Nursery occupies both the ground and first floor of a large building, which has been renovated to our specification and which is situated in attractive surroundings close to Christchurch Road, The Bournemouth Travel Interchange and Asda, the Poole to Ringwood Dual-Carriage Way and central Bournemouth.
On the ground floor there is a spacious physical room, for indoor physical play (especially useful when bad weather prevents the garden from being used), it houses a slide & climbing apparatus, mats for simple gymnastics, and music. This room i also used for the 2-3 year olds 'group time' activities and when they require a rest. We also have a television for relaxing and educational purposes.
A larger play room is also used for the 2-3 year-olds and 3-4 year-olds, this incorporates an open area suitable for pre-school activities, nursery education and for playing generally, a computer corner, an area for role play, a book corner, and table top activity areas, and relaxing fish.
We have a large craft /dining room for messy play such as water, paint, sand, cooking and other craft activities as well as drinks, lunch & tea.
We have a fully equipped kitchen and a cook to provide nutritious lunches and to satisfy any special dietary requirements of the children. In addition to toilets, there is a spacious cloakroom for coats and shoe changing.
On the first floor there are four spacious rooms for the babies, one for the 0-1 year-olds, with changing facilities and leading into their cot- room (closely monitored by staff).
The 1-2 year-olds have 3 spacious areas to play and rest, as well as a milk kitchen, and a nappy changing room with potty training area.
Separately there is a staff room where staff can take their breaks, prepare work and undertake administrative duties. The toddlers also make regular use of the rooms on the ground floor, the garden and the indoor physical play areas.
Outside, a large garden provides a grassy play area, a soft wood chip area for climbing equipment, a hard surface for wheeled toys, a paved patio with sandpit, and a pet's corner.
Children have access to the garden all year round with a variety of toys and games. As part of the fun in the summer we also have water play and picnics.
