Exploration

Exploration plays a vital role in early development. Through hands-on activities and sensory experiences, children spark curiosity, build creativity, and begin to understand the world around them. As they explore, they grow in confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and strengthen their social, emotional and cognitive abilities. This builds a strong foundation for future learning.

Learning through play

At Dee’s, children learn through play and that inspires curiosity and imagination. Whether building, role-playing or creating, each moment supports their development in a way that feels natural, joyful and meaningful.

We tailor activities to match each child's unique way of learning, supporting their individual needs with care. Sensory play is thoughtfully planned to introduce new experiences, helping children understand the world and grow through rich, engaging moments.

Our children enjoy outings to the Polka Theatre, local parks and the library, broadening their experiences beyond nursery life. By celebrating cultural festivals, we introduce them to different ways of life and gently open their eyes to the wider world.

Health

At Dee’s Day Nursery, children’s health and wellbeing are a top priority. We believe that nourishing food, fresh air and gentle routines are essential for helping little ones grow strong, feel settled and thrive in every part of nursery life.

Physical



Children’s physical development is supported through Sporty Minis sessions, outdoor play and daily movement. From running and climbing to throwing and balancing, we build strength, coordination and body confidence. Fine motor skills are gently introduced through purposeful play that supports school readiness.

Nutrition is a cornerstone of our care, with our in-house chef preparing thoughtfully considered menus that cater to a range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, dairy-free, and allergy-specific needs. We ensure that every child receives balanced, nutritious meals tailored to their unique dietary needs, promoting overall health and well- being.

Mental Well-being


We emphasise mental well being by incorporating mindfulness practices and yoga into our daily routines. helping children develop a sense of calm and focus. Spending time outdoors is an important part of our day. Fresh air, open space and a natural setting help children feel calm, focused and emotionally balanced.

We understand the little things matter - warm meals, familiar faces, gentle routines - because that’s what helps children feel safe, happy and ready to grow.

Environment

Children thrive in spaces where they feel safe, free and inspired. Our rooms are calm and welcoming, filled with open-ended resources that spark creativity, curiosity and independent thinking. We give children the freedom to express themselves and follow their interests through child-led activities, allowing them to grow at their own pace. It’s a setting where every child feels seen, supported and confident to be exactly who they are.

Communication

Strong communication is at the heart of how we care. We build warm, trusting relationships by listening closely to children and staying connected with parents. Whether it’s a shared smile, a thoughtful update or a chat at pick-up, we believe that open, honest communication helps everyone feel included, understood and reassured.

Open communication

We believe in keeping communication open, honest and consistent. During handovers, our team take time to speak with parents face to face about their child’s day. Alongside this, we use the Famly app to share regular updates, from daily activities to weekly observations, so parents stay closely connected to their child’s progress and moments of joy.

Sharing Special Times Together

Throughout the year, we hold a variety of fun and meaningful events, including graduation ceremonies, seasonal celebrations, and stay and play sessions where parents can join their children in the nursery. These moments create lasting memories and help build a strong, positive link between home and nursery life.
