Welcome to School House Nursery in Delamere, Cheshire. Day Care for babies, toddlers and children

School House Nursery is a small homely nursery adjacent to Delamere Primary School. It is located in a semi-rural setting with wonderful views across the Cheshire countryside. We are registered by OFSTED for a maximum of twenty six children of which six can be under 12 months. The nursery is open all year round from 8am – 6pm, Monday to Friday closing for Bank holidays.

Our accommodation is in a converted school house. We run the nursery as a big family so prefer to leave the rooms open as in a normal family house situation, with each room offering a different learning areas.

At School House Nursery we provide a happy, homely atmosphere with lots of individual attention.  Our aim is to keep early learning fun in a safe, healthy and secure environment where each child reaches their maximum potential  We hope to give the children enjoyment and a feeling of fulfilment to equip them for life and future learning by providing good foundations on which to build. 

We have a dedicated childcare team to guide the children with their carefully selected Early Learning activities. The team is lead by Early Years Professionals alongside Qualified Nursery Nurses.The nursery implements the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which is designed to give children the best start in life and support to fulfil their full potential. This incorporates four principles which complement each other, these are A unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environment and Learning and Development

 

The Learning and Development areas fall into six learning areas which are;

  • Communication Language and Literacy
  • Problem Solving Reasoning and Numeracy
  • Physical Development
  • Creative Development
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development

In order to develop children’s full potential most learning will take place through play activities appropriate for each child’s age and ability.

We believe that parents are a child’s first most enduring educators. As such consider our relationship with parents and carers is vital in establishing a healthy, trusting relationship between staff and parents which will benefit the child in all aspects of nursery life.  It maintains continuity of care and provides support for both the child and parent at such an early age. To support this each child has a key worker who has the responsibility of meeting a child’s emotional, physical and learning needs.
