West Croydon
West Croydon is located in a modern purpose built building in a convenient location between Central Croydon and Selhurst. This setting cares for children aged 0 – 5 years and has seconded off area for the babies.
The Children can gain access to the garden directly from their room so we can operate a free flow system . This allows the children the freedom to go in or outdoors. The nursery has a wide range of resources at the child’s level, this allows the child to easily select the items/toys they wish to use.
Hygiene
Throughout the nursery, each child has their own toothbrush, toothpaste and flannel with which they learn about hygiene and the care of self. Working closely with parents/carers we can assist and give advice about potty/toilet training.
The Menu
The children who attend our nursery enjoy culinary experiences that reflect those of a multi-cultural society. The menus are planned to encourage good eating habits and an awareness of where food comes from. We have a four week rotating menu which offers a wide range of food from various cultures i.e. chicken curry, chow mien, lasagne, fish and boiled rice etc. We supply afternoon tea which consists of sandwiches, croissants, cheese on toast etc. We also provide healthy snacks and drinks throughout the day. We can accommodate children with dietary requirements e.g. vegetarians, dairy intolerance.
Garden
We have a very large selection of outdoor toys suitable for all ages which consists of slides, bikes, trikes, push alongs, bats, balls, skittles, hoops, stilts etc.
Key Person
We operate a key person system in the nursery. Your child will be allocated a member of staff who will be responsible for them on a daily basis, this will involve carrying out activities with them, making observations on your child and generally looking after your child's well being. Key persons will be reviewed on a regular basis and changed if necessary.
Day Books
Due to paper wastage we only complete written day books on request, however, a member of staff will always discuss with you on collection of your child how your child has been that day.
Working with Parents/Carers
We work as closely as possible with parents/carers to make sure that we achieve the best possible care and education for your child. We hold a parents/carers evening twice a year so that we can discuss your child's development, and every 3 months we will invite you in to discuss your childs next steps. We also run several activities a year which include sports day, parents/carers fun evenings and a nursery barbeque etc. We regularly review our practice and send out questionnaires once a year to ensure that we are providing a good service. We welcome parents comments all year round about the service we provide and will look carefully at any suggestions on how we can improve our service.
