Activities

Our four base rooms have been designed with lots of different areas to ensure everyone has plenty of room to play, learn, explore and have fun. Our large garden is in constant use – the children love nothing more than being out in the fresh air with their friends.

Children enjoy weekly sporting activities with Sprog Sports; Tiny Mites provide an interactive music and sensory class; and we also have weekly Phonics lessons delivered by Robot Reg to enhance our children’s learning and prepare them for starting school. Regular walks around the local area are enjoyed by all – Stanmore Library and local parks are a particular favourite.

We also welcome members of the local community into nursery for educational visits, to expand our children’s understanding of the important roles they play. These range from the Fire Brigade, Animal Charities, and local Dentists.

Our Rooms

Baby Room (3 months – 18 months)

Our independent Baby Room has been designed specifically so that even the youngest children in our care can have lots of fun at nursery.

Care is tailored to the needs of every single baby which is why we ask you to complete a detailed questionnaire so we can follow your home routine as closely as possible. This continuity of care enables your baby to settle very quickly and with a staff ratio of 1:3, we guarantee there will be lots of love and attention from our highly qualified and caring team.

There are separate zones within the baby room which enable babies to enjoy different, closely supervised, activities during the day.

All that fun and learning can be exhausting, so there is a quiet area so that each baby can get as much rest as they need. Every child has their own cot and sheets, which are changed when required. The room also has en-suite changing facilities.

So that you don’t miss out on what your baby has enjoyed during their stay at Boys & Girls Nursery, we will keep you up to date with daily records of meals, sleep times, nappies and activities enjoyed via our parenting app Blossom.

Pre-Toddler Room (18 months – 2.5 years)

Your child is developing very quickly, is inquisitive and is always learning. We do everything we can to help them reach their full potential.

The Pre-Toddler room is a large, open-plan area that give your child the space they need while they are finding their feet, but with a staff:child ration of 1:3, you can be assured that the children always have the close supervision they need.

There are plenty of high quality and robust age-appropriate toys that give them every opportunity to explore and learn in a secure, home-from-home environment.

The highly qualified team working in our Pre-Toddler room know how to maximise every child’s time at nursery and will always encourage them to take part in a wide variety of activities, including creative, messy and role play, imaginative and small world play.

Through play, we encourage independent learning and help to develop children’s social skills by giving them enough space to explore and the support they need to try new things. Our personalised approach means children only undertake activities that are appropriate for their stage of learning and development.

When they need a rest or sleep, they can go to the snugly area and lie on sleeping mats, where there is always a member of the team to watch over them.

As the Pre-Toddler room has easy access to our large, enclosed garden, children can enjoy lots of supervised fun outside, whatever the weather. You will soon see that there’s always lots of fun to be had in our Pre-Toddler room!

Toddler Room (2.5 years – 3.5 years)

As children begin to discover the world around them, they need new challenges so they can explore in a safe and secure setting.
Our Toddler Room offers the ideal environment to have lots of fun and to learn new skills.

Although our dedicated team organise plenty of focused activities, which enable them to evaluate the progress of each child in their care, there are also plenty of opportunities for boys and girls to choose what they would like to do, too.

As required by the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, the team carry out daily observations to assess each child’s progress against the prescribed learning goals and put together action plans and individual learning strategies to help them develop the skills he/she needs.

A nursery routine is followed in the Toddler Room and every day they will enjoy breakfast, circle time, a range of child-led and staff-led activities, lunch, rest, and more activities. Children can also enjoy plenty of fun in the safe and secure garden.

If they need a nap after lunch, there is a quiet area where they can rest on sleeping mats.

As your child is likely to be toilet training at this age, we have en-suite child sized toilets and changing area in one room that allows an easy transition from nappy to toilet. We understand how important it is to reward children and there are reward charts specifically for toilet training.

You can’t help but notice how quickly your child learns and develops quickly at this age – and we at Boys & Girls Nursery are committed to working closely with you so that your son or daughter reaches their potential.

Pre-School Room (3.5 years – 5 years)

It’s hard to believe they are preparing for school when they are three, but it is at this age we get them ready so they can spread their wings and fly into the big, wide world.

The days are more structured in Pre-School – just like they are at school – but with a staff:child ratio of 1:8, we work very closely with each child and emphasise learning through fun.

Our team follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum learning goals to ensure that all children’s progress is recorded and that all activities are planned carefully for each individual. A qualified teacher also comes into nursery on a regular basis to help us plan different activities and to offer any advice on curriculum changes.

Throughout the day, children can busy themselves at the mark making table, art and craft trolley, maths and science areas and the water fountain, all of which develop essential skills.

Children with Special Educational Needs and those who have English as an additional language are very well planned for and we receive specialist support from Harrow council.

We welcome some very special guests throughout the year, including the police, fire service, dentists and nurses. A local farm also brings in small animals, reptiles and birds several times a year. To support their learning and understanding, we take the children on supervised trips to the local supermarket, park and high street.

And as a way of encouraging children to be an independent as possible, they serve and feed themselves, choose their own snack, help set up and tidy away activities, and independently use the toilet.

When your child moves to school, we send completed transition documents so that the school can see the stage at which he/she is at and a learning journey profile, which has a detailed history of your child’s learning.

 

Please note room moves are dependent on the individual children’s needs and development as well as the cohort of children in the group.

In line with assisting our families to get as much help as they can with the costs of childcare, here’s some useful information on Tax Free Childcare, Government Childcare Support, Child Tax Credits and Childcare Vouchers.

Tax Free Childcare

You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. If you get Tax-Free Childcare, you’ll need set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your provider.

You can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours of Government Childcare Support if you’re eligible for both. More info can be found here Tax-Free Childcare – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Government Childcare Support

Starting from April 2024, existing childcare support will be expanded in phases. By September 2025, most working families with children under the age of 5 will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support each week.

April 2024 – eligible working parents of 2 year olds will be able to access 15 hours of childcare support

September 2024 – 15 hours of childcare support will be extended to eligible working parents of children from the age of 9 months

September 2025 – eligible working parents of children aged 9 months – 5 years will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare support

More information can be found here Check you’re eligible for free childcare if you’re working – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Child Tax Credits

Help is available through the Childcare element of Universal Credit. It provides substantial support with childcare costs and many families are surprised when they find that they are eligible for it. Please check the following link:

www.taxcredits.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/HomeNew.aspx

Childcare Vouchers

For working parents, childcare vouchers can prove an excellent way to spread and reduce the costs of childcare. Boys & Girls Nursery are registered to accept all childcare vouchers. Please ask us for more information.

Ofsted

Ofsted inspect Nurseries in regular inspection cycles to ensure standards are high and to advise and enforce improvement. More information can be found by visiting www.ofsted.gov.uk.

During an inspection the inspector will spend as much time as possible observing children and staff to understand the way the nursery team relate to children and how well they care for children to help them to make progress in their learning. During their time at the nursery the inspector will check a sample of relevant documents as well as the premises and equipment.

The inspector will also spend some time talking to parents to establish how well the nursery works in partnership with parents in support of children’s learning and development. They will then use all of this evidence and any other information available to make their professional judgements then publish an inspection report.

Boys & Girls Nursery Stanmore is proud to have achieved a ‘Good’ OFSTED rating at our last OFSTED Inspection.
