Day nursery

At YMCA Childcare, we believe that:

- Every child deserves the best possible start to their education.
- Every child should have a safe, secure and happy environment in which they will
feel confident and ready to learn.
- Children should be supported by experienced staff, which are all committed to
providing quality nursery education and support.
- Children’s experiences and achievements should be supported and praised.
- Good communication between the nursery and parents or carers is highly
important.
- Every child should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

We hope to provide this in the Nursery and in the community, by offering a safe, secure and happy environment in which children will feel confident and ready to learn.
 
Children are supported by highly qualified and experienced staff who are committed to providing quality education and support. We thrive on offering experiences and opportunities that challenge and excite the children in our care.

Support for people with disabilities

Experience of including people with special educational needs and disabilities

At YMCA Childcare we believe that children deserve the best possible start to their education. We hope to provide this in our Childcare settings and in the community, by offering a safe, secure, and happy environment in which children will feel confident and ready to learn. They will be supported by experienced staff who are all committed to providing quality, nursery education, and support.

In our settings, children take part in a variety of child-chosen and adult-led activities. We operate ‘free-flow play’ where children can move indoors and outdoors of their own free will, regardless of the weather, throughout the day. Learning through play helps the children develop at their own pace; having fun, making friends, and learning as they play to become confident, secure children.

Each of our Childcare settings operates a key person system where a member of staff will work with parents and carers to ensure the nursery provides what is right for the child’s particular needs and interests. The key person will form attachments with children, parents, and carers, helping to settle children into the routine and undertaking care routines.
