Nutrition

At The Syston Day Nursery, we are committed to serving healthy, nutritious, and delicious homemade meals that use fresh fruit and vegetables, free-range eggs, and foods sourced from highly reputable suppliers. Our carefully planned menus encourage children to make healthy choices and try a variety of foods from around the world. We involve the children in food-related activities, including growing vegetables and herbs and participating in preparing some of our meals.

Outdoor Play

Our large outdoor play environment is accessible in all weathers and is safe, secure, and monitored by CCTV. The children have opportunities to investigate, explore, and use challenging climbing equipment that promotes physical development and helps develop their gross motor skills.

Curriculum

As a childcare provider, we meet the criteria of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is defined by the Department for Education. We follow a structure of learning, development, and care for all our children. We are committed to the EYFS, ensuring that children learn through play, we work closely with all parents, and we have a key person system in place. We take every child's unique qualities and interests into consideration when planning their day, and we keep parents up-to-date on their child's progress.

The EYFS framework splits the areas of learning into "Prime" and "Specific" Areas. For our youngest children, we focus strongly on the three prime areas, which are fundamental and focus on developing core skills that support development in all other areas of learning. These three areas are: Communication and language, Physical development, and Personal, social and emotional development. The four specific areas of learning include essential skills and knowledge for children to participate successfully in society and are a greater focus for the older children alongside the prime areas of learning. These four specific areas are: Literacy, Mathematics, Expressive Arts and design, and Understanding the World.

Conclusion

At The Syston Day Nursery, we are committed to providing high-quality childcare services that promote children's learning and development. We believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving their full potential with the right support, care, and learning opportunities. We are dedicated to working in partnership with parents, and we welcome any questions or feedback that will help us improve our services.
