We pride ourselves on excellent relationships with our children and families. Each child’s unique learning is supported by highly skilled and qualified staff who understand child development. Two nursery deputy managers hold the level 3 award, For Early Years SEN co-ordinator , which allows us to support children and families with additional needs.
Staff have high expectations for the children, with independence and behavior playing a huge part of our curriculum.
At Springfield Lodge Nursery we encourage a love of nature with on-site forest school sessions run in our own forest area, by qualified forest school leaders. We develop an early love of books supported with regular visits to the local library, and children begin to learn about the food chain in our newly developed gardening club.
All staff hold both Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding Certificates.

Play is one of the main ways in which children learn. It helps to build self worth by giving a child a sense of his or her own abilities and to feel good about themselves. Because it’s fun, children often become very absorbed in what they are doing. In turn, this helps them develop the ability to concentrate.
We have a very affordable pricing plan and you may qualify for 30 hrs free please ring us for further advice.
