Here at Athelstan we aim to provide a happy, calm, relaxed and safe environment for all children to play learn and develop. Our dedicated team are fully qualified in early years care and education and are committed to creating a welcoming environment. All staff are Paediatric first aid trained and have completed child protection training.
The Athelstan benefits from having two large indoor rooms as well as a natural outdoor play space at the front of the building. We have a free flow approach between the rooms as well as structured play activities and directed group time to support children's learning and development across all areas of The Early Years Foundation Stage.

Services
Each child is entitled to claim up to 15 hours per week, for those eligible working families may be entitled to 30 hours per week. We ask that all parents/carers have read the nursery policy's and procedures which are located on the front desk. Copies of these are available for parents on request and reviewed regularly at committee meetings and staff meetings.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. These prime areas are curial for promoting child's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and for building their ability to learn, form relationships and thrive.

We love this nursery school and so does our daughter who attends twice a week. The staff are mature and most have children of their own so have ample experience and motherly wisdom to draw upon.
They use the two interconnected spaces very creatively and I particularly like their use of the 2 children's beds as homely, comfortable nurturing 'hearts' in each room with teddies and books. Every session appears well thought out with an excellent choice of activities for the children and they are not afraid of getting messy....
The outside area may be limited compared to what some nurseries provide
