Our approach goes above and beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to foster deep level learning and optimise potential. Our older children are encouraged to construct and make their own 'Chatter Box' at home by collecting a few of their favourite items and placing them in a shoe box or something similar in shape and size.
We incorporate all seven areas of learning into the early years curriculum, ensuring the children have a well prepared, inviting, and stimulating environment. Staff provide a range of activities to cater for children's individual interests and development needs, working towards the Early Years' Outcomes - Early Learning Goals, across all areas of the curriculum.
Good nutrition is essential during childhood, as it is a time of rapid growth, development and activity. This is also a vital time for healthy tooth development and prevention of decay. General eating habits and patterns are formed in the first few years of life.
A nutritious diet, together with good hydration, provides your child with good eating habits for life, healthy skin, a healthy weight, secure emotional well-being, and improved behaviour.The nursery staff have a key role in introducing young children to a wide variety of foods and establishing a pattern of regular meals and healthy snacks.

Ladybird Day Nursery is a fantastic, homely environment with experienced staff which put the parents, carers and children at ease. My son attended Ladybird for 4 years and the opportunities and experiences he had, increased his confidence as an individual and developed his skills in all areas, preparing him for school life.
