EXCITING TIMES FOR POPPINS!

Over the last few months, we have been busy developing our nursery. Following the tough times we had and the extreme cleaning measures that have been in place since the pandemic started, we felt that our lovely little nursery had become a little tired. We also found ourselves wanting to utilise the opportunity of a ‘fresh start’ to make some changes and move forward in a way we have always felt would be right for us and our children.

We are so excited for this next chapter, it is something we have dreamed of doing for years, we feel so blessed that we have this opportunity to move forward in the way we had always hoped. We always pride ourselves on being a home-from-home for your children and we feel this little change-up really fosters our ethos and brings great opportunities for all of the children and their growing needs.

So what’s new?

We have invested a whopping £20,000+ to fully refurbish the nursery, fully equipping both rooms with the highest quality resources, taking the greatest level of care to ensure we maintain our homely and warm feel. We have worked hard, reflecting on the way in which our children learn and grow and how our team works best.

We have made the decision to swap rooms to utilise the spaces and the further support the needs of our children. We jumped at this opportunity to create a nursery that we feel will really shine! Giving children the very best opportunities to learn and grow in a safe and homely environment; designed with them in mind.

Please rest assured that whilst our rooms may be switching, our values, nursery daily rhythm, planning, teaching, and learning will all be remaining the same. All staff will be staying with their children and your child’s key person will remain the same. Children will have full access to the entire room whilst having their own key nurture group. They will come together in these small families for circle times and group activities, providing a secure base for growth with their key person supporting and guiding their individual learning needs.

The new EYFS – which focuses on less paperwork and more play – really lends itself to the Poppins way. We want to take this opportunity to coincide the new curriculum release in September with our new environment to really kick start a fresh and exciting us. Waving goodbye to bubbles and covid struggles and move forward with being the outstanding nursery that we are!
