Rothersthorpe Day Nursery

Rothersthorpe Day Nursery is an educational nursery rather than just a day care facility. We aim to provide a learning environment, which encourages a high degree of autonomy in all children as well as gaining confidence and self esteem. We give support to enable children to develop the skills they need to express themselves and record their experiences and feelings.

All our staff are committed to the care and development of babies and young children. We ensure all staff employed have been checked for criminal records by an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service. We have a member of staff qualified as an Early years professional status. All children are supervised by two adults at all times, even if your child is late being collected at the end of the day.

Forget Me Not Room is used for babies and toddlers. Your child will receive all the loving care he/she requires to grow and develop. The children are encouraged to access a variety of toys, equipment and activities, including messy play and heuristic play, encouraging the children to develop with in all the seven areas of Learning and Development.

This section of Nursery has four main rooms (Blue Bell Room, Poppy Room, Tulip Room and Daffodil Room). The children are encouraged to be autonomous hence; we have implemented "free flow" in these rooms. Children initiate what they want to do, they go and play and then come back to share with their friends what they've done.
