The Nursery offers full day care for 29 children 6 babies 0-2 years & 23 2-4 year olds. We are situated within a Children's Centre & provide fulltime & sessional care for children in the deprived ward area of Middleton Central. Our main aim is to help bridge the gap between the disadvantaged & other areas in childcare through offering affordable & flexible high-quality childcare, therefore allowing parents/carers to access training & employment opportunities. The childcare we provide is tailored to suit the needs of all our parents/carers. We also provide care for children whose parents may need extra support in caring for their child i.e. Children involved with Social services & children with disabilities/SEND needs. We have children attending on both the 2/3-year-old funding. These numbers have increased greatly since the 2-year funding came into place & we are struggling to cater for all children from the local estate. Unfortunately, we are still having to turn children away due to having a full nursery. We offer the 30 hours & this has also impacted on the number of children we can take as some children have increased for 15 hours to 30, taking up available sessions. We work hard to provide a safe, secure, caring & stimulating environment in which all our children can develop to their full potential, this is done by providing a wide/varied range of high-quality play & learning opportunities for all the children who attend our nursery. As the nursery is situated within a Children's centre we work alongside centre staff to provide the best possible start in life for children, whilst assisting parents/carers.
Our stake holders consist of staff, parents, children & residents who live within the local community. We currently have 3 Directors & are continually trying to recruit others to our management board & we currently have 1 parent onboard but are continually encouraging parents to come on board. We actively involve stakeholders, through regular questionnaires, asking them how they rate our service, what improvements they would like to see & how we can improve the service that we offer to children & their families. We carry out an induction with every new/prospective parent/carer where we encourage them to tell us what they want & expect from us as a nursery. We ask if they have ideas on how we can improve the service we currently offer. We also invite parents into annual AGM and fundraising events. We still send out regular newsletters to keep stakeholders informed of up & coming events they are encouraged to attend. We hold regular staff meeting, supervisions/appraisals, we have held parents telephone calls to discuss children's progress as this was what parents preferred and it was the most successful one to date. We let parents/staff know when we are holding meetings & when we are having our AGM. We have maintained our good OFSTED rating and informed all parents and new parents during inductions. Every Friday we update our Facebook page so parents can see what their children have been doing and used as a platform to share information.
