NURSERY
Our Irthlingborough nursery has been running since July 2016. It is a converted house which really adds to our family feel. We can have up to 46 children each day spread across our 3 age groups - Babies (0-2s), Preschool (2-4s), After School Club (4-8s).
The nursery is close to the A6 and A45 meaning that our children come from Irthlingborough and the surrounding villages.
If you would like to come for a tour of the nursery please get in contact via email or telephone. We try and do these just once per day at 10am to minimise disruption to the children and their play.
BRILLIANT BABIES
This group cares for our children that are approximately 2-26 months old. The babies have the entire upstairs of the nursery as well as their own garden.
They have a sensory room where the children can sleep during the day, play with our wonderous lights or explore the black and white area specifically designed for babies. Another room focuses on physical play and creative activities and is also where the babies have their meals.
The final room is for all of our naturals play and heuristic exploration where babies can really develop their sense of self. There is also a small nappy changing area adjoined to this room.
Staff ratio = 1:2 changing to 1:3 when babies are over 7 months of age
PRESCHOOL
This group cares for our children that are approximately 2-5 years old.
The children have our entire downstairs meaning that all areas of learning are available to them throughout the day. Our three rooms are focussed around creative play, imaginative play, food and the world around us. The children have free-flow access into their garden complete with a messy mud kitchen, growing area and giant enclosed sandpit! The children have two bathrooms available to them with nappy changing facilities, potties and toilets.
Staff ratio = 1:5 changing to 1:8 when children are over 3 years of age
AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
We provide after school club for children in Reception to Year 2. For children who previously attended nursery, this provides continuity with familiar faces and for others, it is a chance to make new friends! The after school club is run from our pre-school room with free flow access into their garden.
We offer pick ups from Irthlingborough Infant School on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
