Day care for pre school children in Pontypool

The pre school group is run by Clare Farrell and her nursery nurse Jodie, who plan a busy day of learning and fun based around the foundation phase curriculum.

Each term a new theme is planned which is incorporated throughout the Nursery. The term and daily planning activities are regularly updated and displayed in the hall for parents to see. Regular parents evenings are planned and well attended for parents to chat to the staff and see their child’s development through the work they produce and photographs. Parents are also welcome to have a chat on a daily basis – we are here for you!

The nursery day is well planned to allow the children plenty of time for rest, education sessions and free play. Quiet areas are also provided for the children to go to if they need a break any time throughout the day.

The children have a snack at 9.30am of toast or cereal, milk and fruit during their circle time where they can discuss things which are important to them, this aids confidence and social speaking. At 12 noon the children have a fresh home cooked lunch and at 3.30pm the Nursery come together for afternoon snack of fruit, drinks and a varying array of foods.
