Brooklands Childcare, First Avenue, Hindley opened in 1991 and was the first within the group to open. The nursery is registered with Ofsted and the Environmental Health Department, as well as implementing ISO quality management systems.
The nursery is divided into two age groups which are:
- Toddlers 18 months-3 years. 28 children: 1-4 ratio
- Pre-School 3-4 years. 60 children: 1-8 ratio
The nursery operates a five-day week (Mon-Fri), opening at 7.30am and closing at 6.00pm. We are closed on Bank Holidays and for one week over the Christmas period. We welcome the opportunity to try to offer your child sessions that will best suit your needs.
We boast a homely environment with well planned and resourced areas in both rooms. The children have continuous access to provisions such as sand, water, play dough, imaginative play and creative play, construction, language and literacy, and IT. Using these continuous provision areas alongside daily focused activities, you can be assured that your child will be learning in a stimulating and fun environment that promotes good independence and social skills.
We pride ourselves in our work with children of all abilities and have an experienced Senco (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) as part of our team.
All children under three years are cared for following the guidelines in Birth to three matters whilst pre-school follow the stepping stones in the Foundation Stage curriculum, working towards the early learning goals set for the children to achieve at the end of reception class in school.
Each child’s development is monitored by their key worker and children’s progress is shared with their school in the form of a transition document.
There is a qualified cook on-site who provides excellent fresh meals each day which are healthy and nutritious. She is able to cater for any special dietary requirements that your child may have.
We value all parents' comments and suggestions at Brooklands and aim to provide the highest quality of care and education. We welcome visits from parents who may wish to speak with their child’s key worker or to help with activities. |
