Facilities

Toy Box Day Nursery consists of one large open plan room with adjoining conservatories to the back and to the side.

There is a separate cordoned off area within the main room for children between the ages of 3 months and 2 years old. The rest of the main room is occupied by the Pre-School children who are aged 2 years upwards.

Both the Early Years and the Baby room children have their own spacious airy conservatory which in turn leads out into their own outdoor playground giving them continuous free flow access to the outdoors throughout the day. The babies conservatory has under floor heating thus ensuring a warm comfortable environment for those babies who are still crawling.

Outside there is a large enclosed secure playground with a soft play area for the climbing frame, a tarmac area for bikes etc, musical area, sensory area, together with a large grassed area. There are places set aside for gardening for the children. Here they will learn about planting, watering and growing flowers, fruit and vegetables.

Sand, water and a messy mud digging area also form part of our outdoor continuous provision.

The babies' separate play area to which they have continuous access through their conservatory is entirely covered with a soft play surface. The walls on both sides of the play area also have padding thus ensuring a safe and secure space where the babies can learn to walk and crawl in safety.

A policy for the provision and replacement of toys is in operation within the Nursery and regular checks of all equipment are made to ensure they are clean, complete and serviceable.

Great emphasis is also placed on multicultural awareness and children are taught to respect different cultures and festivals.
