About Us

Hayley’s Little Comets aims to provide children with a safe, caring and stimulating environment, enabling them to achieve their full potential.

Welcome!

We place a strong emphasis on learning and development through play, acknowledging individual skills and abilities. We work alongside the community to promote values that instil respect, diversity and inclusion.

By choosing Hayley’s Little Comets Day Nursery our qualified, caring team will take care of your ‘little comets’ aged 0-5 years whilst you are busy.

Children Come First!

We believe children thrive best in a fun, caring and enjoyable environment where they should be given first-hand real experiences and resources that are stimulating for them to experiment, explore, and learn to be independent. We value that learning takes place through enhanced play opportunities and that children’s play reflects their wide range of varied interests.

We acknowledge that by having a safe, secure and challenging environment we will be giving our children learning opportunities where they can learn to take risks, develop boundaries, make choices and extend their development. Safeguarding and the welfare of our children is paramount to us and we embed this policy into the heart of our practice.

Learning & Development

Learn to play and play to learn…

Child Initiated Play: Children will show willingness to tackle problems and enjoy self-chosen challenges through play. They will take initiatives and manage developmentally appropriate tasks.

Outdoor Play: Children will be given the opportunity to play in the natural environment which they will have the freedom to explore, use their senses, learn and be physically active. Being outdoors has a positive impact on children’s sense of well-being and helps all aspects of children’s development. The children go out to play every day and staff make sure that the children are appropriately dressed so they can enjoy themselves whatever the weather.

Outdoor play is seen as an integral part of the early years provision. We aim for both indoor and outdoor play to provide a stimulating environment for children’s learning in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Food for Thought

Wash hands & Breakfast Time 7.30 – 8.30am:

Children will use one-handed tools and independently self-serve and eat breakfast of their choice. This will encourage them to manage their own needs. Children will also develop a sense of community within the nursery as they will join up with other rooms for breakfast.

Lunch Time 12.00 noon:

Children will learn awareness of their own needs regarding eating and hygiene, they will learn social skills by enjoying being with and talking to other children and their key person.

Children will also learn to be independent by washing their hands before and after and self-serving their own dinner in Toddler and Pre-School Rooms. This will support them to learn problem solving skills.

Children will learn about their health and bodily awareness with regards to eating and hygiene. They will develop a range of healthy practices by learning about healthy foods and drinks.

Throughout the day we will also encourage the children to become independent with their toilet routines, having drinks and snacks. This will develop skills in the prime areas of learning – personal, social and emotional development, physical development and communication and language as they will manage their own personal hygiene, learn about healthy practices and eating needs as well as interact socially with others.

Meals, snacks and drinks

We aim to provide a choice of healthy nutritious hot lunches followed by fruit, yoghurt or a cooked pudding which is prepared daily.

A balanced healthy breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks are provided for the children attending a full day. Children will also receive a selection of fruit mid-morning.

Menus are planned in advance, rotated regularly and reflect cultural diversity and variation. These are displayed for children and parents to view.
