Childcare
Carousel Day Nursery provides full-time and part-time childcare for children aged 2-5 years. Our OFSTED-registered setting combines structured learning with free play in a secure environment. Qualified staff implement individualised care plans while promoting independence and social skills through daily activities.
EYFS Curriculum
Our curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, focusing on prime and specific areas of development. Through observations and tailored planning, we support communication, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional growth using play-based learning techniques aligned with national standards.
Outdoor Learning
Children access the Old Blues Rugby Field for physical activities, nature walks, and outdoor exploration. We incorporate environmental learning through den-building, gardening, and local community visits. These experiences enhance physical development and understanding of the natural world through hands-on discovery.

We maintain daily communication with parents through handovers, progress reports, and digital updates. Our Key Person system ensures consistent family support while 'All About Me' books document individual routines and preferences to create personalised care experiences that extend into home environments.

Our designated Safeguarding Officer ensures compliance with statutory requirements while promoting child welfare through health education, safety practices, and secure premises management.
