Your child is our priority

Here at Anna-Ca-Soo Day Nursery, we have a good understanding of children's lives and their social contexts, basing our teaching around them. Supporting and encouraging personality development, autonomy and creativity are top priorities for us. Developing social interaction and understanding differences in others also plays an important role in our work. We also support you, the parent, in bringing up your child.

Each child has a Key person. Through secure attachments, a Key person helps a baby or child to become familiar with the nursery and to feel confident and safe within it. A Key person meets the needs of each child in their care and responds sensitively to their feelings, ideas and behaviour.

Parents as Partners. Parents are children’s first and most enduring educators. When parents and practitioners work together in early years settings, it has a positive impact on children’s learning and development (The Early Years Foundation stage, 2008).

We believe that children benefit the most when a parent and staff work together in partnership to ensure quality care and learning for the children. The nursery team welcomes parents as partners, a relationship built on trust and understanding. It is important that we, as carers, are able to support parents in an open and sensitive manner. A two way sharing of information is key to this.

We have a variety of ways for parents to keep up to date with everything that goes on at the Nursery. These include: the website, ParentMail, OurSchoolsApp, monthly newsletters and social media.

On June 25th, 2018, we were inspected by OfSTED. Here are just a few quotes from the report...

'The manager and senior staff team are ambitious and keen to ensure that the nursery is run to a very high standard, making improvements where necessary.'

'The staff offer consistently strong teaching with a wealth of excellent examples of teaching practice throughout each room of the nursery.'
'Staff form exceptionally close bonds with new children, especially babies, helping them to feel extremely secure quickly. All staff place a high priority on getting to know all the children and their families very closely.'

'Children's behaviour is impeccable. They demonstrate a deep respect and care for one another.'
