Kinderworld Bournemouth
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. It is also used for the
2-3 year-olds when they require a rest-time, we also have a television
and video for relaxing and educational purposes; a larger room
is divided into two for the 2-3 year- olds and 3-4 year-olds,
this incorporates a large open area suitable for pre-school activities
& teaching, a computer corner, an area for role play and for
playing generally; we have a large craft /dining room for messy
play such as water, paint and sand, and other craft activities
as well as drinks, lunch & tea; and a cosy library with plenty
of books and relaxing fish. 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 faculties 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
regularly use of the library 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 and
a paved patio with sandpit, and a Pets corner. Picnics and games
in the garden are part of the fun in the summer.
Cooked Lunches are available to children who can eat proper solid
foods.

WE HAVE Bournemouth Quality Standards accreditation!
The key purpose of Bournemouth Quality Standards is to:
- Encourage a culture of continuous improvement
- Ensure high quality provision for all pre-statutory school age and foundation stage children in whatever setting.
The Quality Standards complement and support existing inspection processes and self assessment and target setting are a central part of the process.
Over several years all the staff at Kinderworld Bournemouth Day Nursery, have been working towards the Bournemouth Quality Standards, and over the past 3 years we have re-visited the 5 modules we initially gained accreditation in, and completed the additional 3 modules.
After completing the final module we were visited for assessment before our evidence was put before the monitoring panel and were then informed by the monitoring panel that we have been approved for accreditation of the Bournemouth Quality Mark!!
This is a fantastic achievement and the staffing team have all worked very hard to complete the 8 following modules:
1. Visions, Values and Policies
2. Belonging and Connecting
3. Being and Becoming
4. Contributing and Participating
5. Being Active and Expressing
6. Thinking, Imagining and Understanding
7. The Practitioners Role in Early Learning
8. Leadership, Management and Staff Development
We now hold the Bournemouth Quality Mark - a multi coloured jigsaw style plaque which is displayed in our entrance hall.
Quality Standards in an ongoing process and we will be required to demonstrate our commitment to Quality and Continuous Improvement by being assessed annually, and will be required every third year to submit updated portfolios for reassessment and retention of the Quality Mark.
