The nursery is open term time only. Sessions are provided weekdays from 8.00am until 6.00pm during the school term

At both morning and afternoon sessions the children are given a healthy snack.

The lunch club includes a nutritious buffet style cold lunch and a drink, an example of the menu can be seen here .

     
The nursery is situated in Heysham and provides quality and affordable childcare to the community in which it is situated. It is conveniently situated close to a major bus route
 
The partnership with parents, carers and anyone else involved with the children is important to us and parents are encouraged to visit and see how their children are progressing. Each child is assigned a key-worker who will always be happy to discuss your child's progress or answer any concerns you may have.

 

The Playgroup is inspected by OFSTED to ensure that we provide quality care and education.
 
Our latest inspection was carried out in January 2025 and we were judged as good in all of the 4 key areas.
 
The inspectors key findings were:

 

  • Staff welcome children warmly as they arrive at the nursery. They ask parents for any key information about how their children have been, to ensure that they can care for children's needs. Through a varied curriculum, staff support children's developing independence and sense of self.
 
  • Staff build positive relationships with children and quickly get to know them very well. Children who are new to the nursery are given lots of reassurance. They happily seek staff out for a cuddle or to involve them in their play
 
  • Staff well-being is important to leaders in the nursery. Staff clearly enjoy their work and morale is high. This contributes to the very positive atmosphere in the nursery.
 
  • Children behave well, are confident in their play and keen to share their learning with others. For example, children excitedly tell adults about their achievements being recognised on a 'celebration leaf' display. Children benefit from praise and encouragement from staff, which helps them to develop a sense of pride and high levels of self-esteem
 
  • Leaders place a very strong focus on outdoor play. They recognise the benefits to children of fresh air and exercise, particularly for those children who do not have access to an outdoor space at home. Children approach outdoor physical play with great enthusiasm. T
