Ladybird Day Nursery Fenstanton

At Ladybird Day Nursery, we pride ourselves on providing a warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment for children to thrive. Our beautiful converted Victorian house in the heart of Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire, offers the perfect setting for our team to deliver high-quality childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

Our Philosophy

We believe that every child is unique and deserves a tailored approach to their development. Our experienced and dedicated staff work in partnership with parents to achieve the best possible outcomes for each child. We strive to create a 'home from home' environment, where children feel safe, secure, and valued.

Our Services

• Curriculum: Our curriculum is designed to meet the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Cambridgeshire Local Authority funding requirements. We focus on language and communication, technology skills, and emergent reading and writing to prepare children for their next steps in education.
• Garden Champions: In partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society's School Gardening Awards training programme, we offer a unique gardening activity that fosters children's curiosity and creativity while promoting physical and mental well-being.
• Chatter Box Sessions: We encourage children to share their thoughts, ideas, and interests with their peers, developing their attention and concentration skills. This activity helps build strong relationships and fosters a sense of community.
• Bespoke Activities: Our activities are designed to promote well-being, confidence, and creative expression. We offer a range of activities that cater to each child's individual needs and interests.
• Wake Up Shake Up: We start each day with an energising session that gets children's brains and bodies moving. This helps develop their cognitive and motor skills while promoting a positive attitude towards learning.
• Settling-In Sessions: We understand that each child is unique, and our experienced staff are committed to building strong relationships with every child. Our settling-in sessions provide an opportunity for children and parents to get to know their designated key person, ensuring a smooth transition into nursery.
