Nursery Rhymes

This is a voluntary 'Gold Standard' award created in recognition of early years childcare providers who train all their staff in paediatric first aid and equips settings to deal with emergencies, provides peace of mind to parents and inspires excellence in paediatric First Aid.

Millie's Mark is delivered by National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) which represents day nurseries across the UK and is the only Mark supported by the government in England.Nursery Rhymes is one of only a handful of settings within the West Yorkshire area to have achieved this continually monitored accreditation.

Here at Nursery Rhymes our policy on food is as serious and professional as it is to providing good quality care for every child attending the nursery. Our cook and staff within the nursery all hold a recognised food hygiene certificate to ensure correct procedures are maintained when preparing and serving food for the children.

Working in partnership with our parents and carers is essential to our work. You know your child the best and we are keen to share in that knowledge. We recommend your child attends settling in sessions prior to starting at Nursery Rhymes, as this allows both of you to gradually build up to longer periods of absence, and for your child to feel happy and comfortable within the nursery.

An essential part of our role is to provide an environment that promotes health, safety and protection. We have many policies and procedures that govern the way we operate the nursery, and these underpin everything we do. The nursery regularly reviews and updates such documentation in line with changes in legislation and practice.

We have four playrooms at Nursery Rhymes which have been designed around the children's needs. Each playroom is calmly decorated and makes use of various displays to promote each child's individuality. Each child has their own individual board in which we display their artwork, pictures captured and any family photographs and memories too.
