The Nest: A home away from home

We are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting applications for children aged between 9 months and 3 years to join our childcare provision The Nest, during term-time only, at our Robert Stephenson Campus.

A summary of the most recent comments regarding The Nest Provision at Robert Stephenson Campus;

There is a lovely, calm atmosphere in the Nursery, led by an inspirational and experienced leadership team via a well thought-out Early Years Foundation stage curriculum, which instils the love of learning into children early into their development.

The staff are very attentive, kind, gentle and nurturing. Staff are passionate about promoting emotional wellbeing and nurturing the children to become confident and independent. They have close bonds with the children and join in with play, ensuring that everyone is included. Introducing new words during play through the use of repetition accelerates the expansion of the children’s vocabulary and imagination. Story of the week is an exciting way to embed the love of reading into the children, encouraging them to recall the story and tell it in their own way. Numbers are used in everyday activities, such as number walls, counting and encouraging the use of size language.
