The nursery provides a healthy, nutritious diet to all the children including breakfast, snacks, lunch and tea. Fresh, local, seasonal produce are used when available. The menu is vegetarian, but also includes fish.
We believe that parents and staff working together is vital to ensuring a child’s individual needs are fully met and each child gets the most out of nursery.
We offer a free settling in week which is flexible and gradual. One member of staff will be specially chosen to nurture your child from the day he or she arrives and to support you. This designated member of staff will be your child’s ‘key carer’. They will work very closely with you and will be available to talk to you on a daily basis.
The children take part in extra-curricular activities provided by specialist staff. They enjoy weekly music sessions with Double Bass Dan, football sessions with coach Nanna and Forest School sessions. The children also enjoy weekly cooking sessions following our healthy ‘Eat Better, Start Better’ programme.
We choose our staff very carefully. They have committed to a career in childcare and therefore have a genuine love for children. They are committed to developing each child to their full potential. Many of our staff have been with the nursery for 10 years and some of us for longer.
At Rosemary Works East we believe that children in the early years learn through play. Children learn about measures and quantities through cooking, sand play, water play etc. They develop their pre-writing skills by exploring the marks they make with paints or with sticks in sand.
The children at Rosemary Works enjoy daily opportunities to discover the world around them. They enjoy trips to the parks every day as well as outings to museums, fire stations, farms, canal boats, dentists and local shops.
