Deciding on the right nursery for your child is a very important decision to make and a child’s early childhood experiences often impact them for life.

Here at Sticky Fingers Day nursery we are a homely community setting and we aim to make children feel safe, secure and nurtured. We are committed to providing quality care and education for all the children here with us. Each child receives plenty of individual time and attention and we value the individuality of every child.

Our adult to child ratios are:
0-2 years old is a 1:3 ratio
2-3 years old is a 1:4 ratio
3-5 years old is a 1:8 ratio
However, our Early Years Teacher can have a ratio of 1:13 but we usually adhere to a 1:8 ratio unless in exceptional circumstances.

All the activities are carefully planned to suit the developmental needs of all of the children. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The interests of the children are explored through exciting activities and the resources are varied and stimulating to maximise the learning opportunities that we provide.

If you would like to come and have a look at the nursery please call to make an appointment and we would be delighted to show you around.

These are some of the complementary comments that Ofsted made about us last time we were inspected;

"The quality of teaching is consistently good and often outstanding. As a result, children are constantly engaged in high quality, well-planned activities and are motivated to learn.
All children are very confident and settled in the setting. Staff have created very strong relationships with children and parents. Consequently, children feel safe and secure in their care.
Children's imaginations are stimulated by staff who understand the importance of creating awe and wonder. As a result, children have lots of ideas and confidently discuss these with their friends and staff.
The management team guide and mentor staff well. They encourage staff to continuously develop their professional knowledge in order to improve outcomes for children. All staff are qualified, which has a positive impact on children.
Strong partnerships with local schools have been established. This means children are supported well with the move to school.
The management team and all staff have a very good understanding of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. They have established good practices, which are underpinned with comprehensive policies and procedures."
