Service description
It is our vision to create high quality, innovative childcare and early education at Little Explorers. We fully embrace Every Child Matters, which lies at the heart of our philosophy: Keeping children safe, healthy, enjoying and achieving and making a positive contribution. Our nursery gives working parents peace of mind that their child is in a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment, while at the same time we offer flexibility and choice to parents seeking an exciting and creative Early Years Education for their child. As a team, we strive to nurture each child''s unique, individual qualities and full potential physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
We are open from 7.30am-6pm for 50 weeks a year for children aged 0-4+ years and will occasionally run a Holiday Club for children aged 4-9 for children who attended nursery. We also offer term-time only options for 2, 3 and 4 year olds and offer free early education places.
Children are accommodated into 4 main rooms - Sunshine Room for 0-2 years, Garden Room 2-3 years, Rainbow Room 3-4+ years and Pre-School/Holiday Club.
The staff team is led by a qualified teacher and to achieve high standards, it is our policy to appoint qualified and permanent staff, with recognised childcare qualifications. All our staff have a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education and those who prepare food hold a Food Hygiene Certificate and are first aiders. All the staff are cleared as suitable persons through the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly CRB checks). We do have 2 apprentices who are training on the job.
We follow OFSTED''s guidance in relation to staff ratios - 1:3 with 0-2 year olds, 1:5 with 2-3 year olds and 1:8 with 3-4 year olds (unless being taught by a teacher or other Level 6 suitably qualified member of staff).
