Following the EYFS

"Here at the nursery we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) framework, which sets the standards for learning, development and care for children in the early years. Nurture is at the heart of everything we do. We provide a warm, welcoming and supportive environment where children feel safe, secure and valued and become confident to explore, learn and develop as an individual.

Outdoor Play and Forest Schools

"Providing opportunities to explore and learn outdoors is a key part of our ethos and is essential for children's development. Through outdoor experiences here in the nursery gardens, exploring our local community and weekly forest school sessions the children are able to experience exciting opportunities to investigate, discover and learn in a natural environment."

What our children, parents & Osted say

My son attends The Firs Day nursery, and despite not living in the area, we make the extra effort because it feels like a second home for him. The staff’s warmth and welcoming nature create a nurturing environment that reflects genuine care and professionalism. Their polite and accommodating approach makes every visit a positive experience for our family. Highly recommended for their exceptional care and friendly atmosphere!
