NURSERY AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The main objective of Claylands Nursery is to provide a safe and happy, stimulating environment for babies and children up to 5 years. Your children are left in the hands of highly qualified nursery nurses and experienced staff. We are delighted to report that our staff turnover is enviably low. This ensures the development of close bonding between the staff and your child, and a continuity of care which is imperative for your child to flourish.

We ensure that your child is left in a safe, clean and friendly, yet exciting atmosphere. Parents can feel relaxed in the knowledge that their child is in a well-managed nursery, and can be assured that their child is receiving the highest quality of care.

At Claylands, we:

• Encourage the emotional, social, physical, creative and intellectual development of children.
  
• Encourage positive attitudes, and develop confidence and self - esteem.
  
• Provide an atmosphere that stimulates interests and each child's imagination.
  
• Help parents achieve a work-life balance, by offering flexible hours, home-cooked meals, and by accepting Nursery Vouchers and assisting with providing information for Working Family Tax Credits.
  
• Our staff are either fully qualified nursery nurses or equivalent for example teacher, nurse or midwife. Our fully disclosed assistants are working towards accredited childcare qualifications. The Owner holds an MA Honours Degree and an MBA, as well as being a fully qualified Nursery Nurse and having four children of her own.
  
• Our Manager is Degree qualified in childcare from Edinburgh University, a mother of two herself, and leads a stable team of committed Nursery professionals.
