The nursery is registered with 'Ofsted' and has just 24 child places. We are open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays for 50 weeks of the year. The nursery is registered to care for two to five-year-old children and is private and independently run from an old 'barn' in Three Acres, just next to 'The Needles Children and Family Centre'.
I have gained many years' experience in the field of childcare and education and have successfully run child-care settings since 2000. We are delighted with our 'Outstanding' and as a team we want to provide a homely, relaxed family feel, where each child can grow and learn from traditional values and high expectations.

Services
I like to be 'hands on' as a manager/owner to know all the children in our care and the little things that are important to them. I usually create a real mess on the craft table too. I am the funny one, I am always bubbly and cheerful, I cope with anything that comes my way! I love to watch the children learn through play and achieve new skills.
Catkins has one large main playroom which is decorated in neutral tones with plenty of natural wooden toys and furniture, where the children are able to move around to access the activities on offer. There is a door from here to the outside area which has a soft surfaced play area.
Off of the main playroom to the rear of the building is the office and a 'quiet room' where children can take part in specific activities such as stories, phonic or maths work in small groups or to explore 'treasure baskets'.Every child has a Key Person and the children soon learn whose 'tree' they are on and who their special person is.
