Feathered Skies

Your child's key person will carry out a home visit. We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to who knows them and their parents well. By playing with your child at home it allows your child to familiarise themselves with their key person and begin a sense of trust.

Our setting believes that care and education are equally important in the experience which we offer children. We organise the day so that children can take part in a variety of child-chosen and adult-led activities. These take account of children's changing energy levels throughout the day. We cater for children's individual needs for rest and quiet activities during the day.

Being active and playing supports young children's learning and development through doing and talking. This is how children learn to think about and understand the world around them. We use the EYFS statutory guidance on education programmes to plan and provide opportunities which will help children to make progress in all areas of learning.

Fees must still be paid if children are absent without notice for a short period of time. If your child has to be absent over a long period of time, talk to Jo Littlejohn who is our manager. For your child to keep her/his place at our setting, you must pay the fees. We are in receipt of nursery education funding for two, three and four-year-olds; where funding is not received, then fees apply.

We maintain the ratio of adults to children in the setting that is set by the Safeguarding and Welfare Requirements. We also have volunteer parent helpers, where possible, to complement these ratios. Famly is the app that we will be using to stay in touch and keep you updated on your child's development at our setting.
