Pennington Nursery has been providing nursery care in the Swarthmoor/Pennington/Ulverston area since 1993. It started off, many years before this as a parent and toddlers group in Pennington Reading Rooms. Along the years we changed our name to Pennington Nursery, became a registered Charity, developed a board of Trustees and became the provider of wrap around after-school provision for Pennington infants and junior School.

Our philosophy is that every child should be recognised as a unique individual and the relationships the children develop with each other and with experienced adults are identified as central to their happiness which in turn, lays the best foundations for their future.
Our aim is to provide a caring and stimulating environment in which everyone has the desire to succeed and to develop strong partnerships with home, the community and the setting to provide firm foundations on which our children's development can build.Each child will acquire positive attitudes, values and beliefs while developing and understanding of, and respect for, other people's cultures.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is primarily aimed at practitioners. The EYFS provides information on a child's development, effective practice, examples of play activities to promote play and learning, guidance on planning and resourcing and meeting diverse needs.
The framework also reflects the diversity of types of organised provision for children in this age group and recognises the importance of wider issues including equal opportunities and relationships with parents.Nursery and Little Gems follow the framework EYFS which has been devised by the government to support children from 0-5 years.

Our Policies and procedures are available to see in the entrance hall, if you wish to receive copies please inform us and we will be happy to send them to you. Please contact the nursery if your child is ill. Illnesses such as chicken pox, conjunctivitis, sickness and diarrhea etc all have incubation periods.
It is our intention to make our nursery accessible to all children and families. Waiting lists are arranged in birth order, although we may take into account siblings that already attend the Nursery when places are Limited. A child who is tense or unhappy will not be able to play or learn properly, so it is important for parents / carers and Nursery staff to work together to help the child feel confident and secure in the group.
