About Us

About us

 

Horizons Day Nursery & Pre-School was founded by a husband and wife team and opened in September 2000.  Their many years of teaching experience has helped them to consistently deliver exceptionally high standards of childcare at both sites of the nursery.

 

Horizons Day is a happy and friendly environment where children are encouraged to be responsible and caring individuals. We treat each child as an individual and provide a setting which reflects and values the varied backgrounds of our children and staff. 

 

Our team of early years practitioners will work in partnership with parents/carers to support children as they enjoy learning through play. Together we will build a strong foundation for your child's journey to school readiness.

Groups

 

The children are cared for in the following groups:

 

'Babies' - 0 to 2 years
'Tots' - 2 to 3 years
'Pre-School' - 3 to 5 years

 

Key Person

 

Each child is assigned a Key Person who works closely with the parents and as part of a wider team within the nursery. Their role is to help ensure that their key child's care and development is tailored to meet their individual needs.  They will also work with other team members to help the child become familiar with the nursery and build a relationship with the child's parents. 

 

Daily Routine

 

All children learn through the Early Years Foundation Stage ('EYFS'). Children have access to indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day as part of their daily routine.

 

Outdoor Play

 

We value outdoor play.  Activities are planned to enhance the children's experience and learning. This includes developing the children's environmental awareness and physical skills in a fun and secure setting.
