Learning & Development

Reserve your child's place today

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).

Group Story/Song Time:  Children will develop confidence, establish relationships with other children and adults, listen attentively and respond to stories and songs. This will also help children to use their imagination to make up stories, use props and explore sounds of words as well as become familiar with number songs.

FAQ's

How are the parents involved in the nursery?
We value all of our families and want them to feel part of the setting. We do this by having an open door policy where parents can come and speak to the staff within their child’s room or the management team about any concerns or worries they may have or just too generally see how their child is getting on. We encourage parents to join in with a variety of celebrations taking part in activities and events to support the children and the parents giving advice and guidance when needed.
How are accidents within the setting monitored?
All accidents are recorded and signed by parent, staff present and a member of the management team these are then filed away in the office. If we believe to be serious or in need of medical attention then parents will be contacted immediately. There are a number of staff who hold a first aid certificate and we ensure there is always someone present within the setting and when on outings. Accidents are monitored and Risk Assessment changed accordingly to ensure that accidents can be limited.
Where do children sleep?
Those children that still need to sleep are provided with sleep mats (cots for the youngest babies) and bedding which is washed on site. Children can choose to sleep anytime throughout the day but as most of our parents in the younger room request sleep time after dinner this is when it is provided. We do not however force children to sleep. Those that are awake during sleep time are provided with quiet activities to take part in.

What Our Families are Saying

The nursery provides a fantastic, loving environment...

Choosing a nursery whilst Covid restrictions were in place was quite a challenge, however as soon as we walked into Hayleys Little Comets we felt that this nursery was right for our son. We got a really homely feeling. The nursery provides a fantastic, loving environment and Jaxon continues to thrive.

The staff are all very friendly and helpful, Jaxon often talks about them at home along with his friends and always talks about what he has been doing that day.

We thank you for helping Jaxon grow and for keeping him in a safe and loving setting.

I highly recommend and have no hesitation in giving Hayleys Little Comets the 5 stars they deserve.

We can't recommend Hayley enough

Our kid joined Hayleys Little Comets Day Nursery ealry September 2022. The way they manage the nursery is amazing. Starting with the great hospitality when we called the nursery to start the process to join our kid and take the free 15 hours from the council. They were very supportive and very fast. Our kid struggle to adapt to the new environment, but Hayley and Helen are very supportive and patient. Now he is enjoing every time he goes there.

The nursery App is fabulous and it has all the details you need about your kid, in addition to the regular photos the add to our son.

Hayley is thoughtful, kind, trustworthy

We can't recommend Hayley enough! xxxx started going to Hayley's at the end of my maternity leave, and was really apprehensive about returning to work and xxxx not being with me. The thought of leaving our precious little bundle of joy with someone we didn't really know was terrifying!

Hayley is thoughtful, kind, trustworthy and has gone above and beyond. She held a wonderful event for Christmas in the street with reindeers and party bags for the children...

Best decision we ever made...

Hayley has looked after out son xxxx since he was 10 months old (now 25 months) and I couldn't recommend her enough. I found the whole prospect of finding child care nerve wrecking as it was the first and only time we've had to do it so we weren't sure what to expect, but tht from the moment we met Hayley, we felt comfortable and we can say that it's the best decision we have ever made...
