ABOUT US
YOUR CHILD WILL SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR
At Lilys Little Gems our open plan nursery helps children learn and develop whilst still offering the family values of a smaller nursery setting. We work closely together with our parents
through our family app to keep them up to date on their child's development. Along with our vibrant outdoor area we arrange frequent excursions as we believe it is an important element of helping children to learn about the world around them.
Dedicated Team
We have highly qualified individuals including Level 2 and 3 practitioners, apprentices and students on our team. Our manager has a Foundation Degree and is currently working towards a BAE Honors.
Parents as Partners
We provide a inclusive environment for your child where we recognise the importance of working in partnership with parents/carers, thereby ensuring individual child's needs are met.
FOLLOWING THE EYFS
The EYFS Framework (Early Years Foundation Stage) explains how and what your child will be learning to support their healthy development.
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
Evidence shows that personal, social and emotional development, communication and language and physical development are essential foundations for children's life, learning and success.
These prime areas are those most essential for your child's healthy development and future learning. As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas. These are:
▪ Literacy;
▪ Mathematics;
▪ Understanding the world; and
▪ Expressive arts and design.
OUR OUTDOOR SPACE
OUTDOOR PLAY
Outdoor play is an important part of childhood. It's exciting to see our children exploring their natural environment and the world around them, being curious and finding joy in seeing new things. We like to encourage our Children's imagination whilst playing and learning outside.
Our outdoor play is all made of natural resources including a bug house, mud kitchen and sandpit.
