Tawny Owls

We welcome babies into our Tawny Owl Nursery from 6 weeks to approximately 2 years old.

As parents ourselves, we are highly sensitive to the need of providing a relaxed and loving atmosphere into which parents can leave their most “precious possessions” with us. To support both our babies,toddlers and parents we employ a team of qualified and experienced staff that have a vast wealth of knowledge and experience in relation to working with babies. We aim for our Tawny Owl Nursery to be a secure, stimulating and caring home from home environment providing parents with the confidence and peace of mind knowing that their children are receiving the best possible care available.

The routine of our babies days and sessions are very much based on the individual needs of our babies with our babies dictating when they require feeding, changing, stimulating or sleeping. We also provide 3 triple buggies in order that we are able to take our children out to explore the local community. As our babies develop and become more inquisitive we provide more stimulating and challenging activities, such as arts & craft, sand & water play complimented by stimulating and educational resources. All staff employed within our Tawny owl nursery attend annual save a babies life training which covers vital training on choking,non breathing infants and first aid skills.

Welcome Area

This is the area where your children’s belongings are stored and where your child’s key person welcomes you. This is also where our care plans for the toddlers and parents take place.

Our Tiny Tawny Nursery is a bespoke space for our youngest children when they first join our Nursery. We offer beautiful play space with natural resources designed specifically to engage and inspire our youngest babies. We will also have a cosy sleep room, with cots and beds for our youngest babies to sleep soundly. Our Tiny Tawny’s will also have access to our Tawny garden or go for a walk in our local community every day in our double and triple pushchairs. Tiny Tawnys is our smallest nursery offering just 6 spaces for our youngest babies. This gives the opportunity for our youngest children to create excellent bonds with the two experienced full time members of staff that work within our Tiny Tawny Nursery.

Within this space we offer our indoor wooden climbing frame as well as providing lots of opportunities for our toddlers to explore using their senses. There are lots of music and movement activities provided in this space including toddle boxes as well as floor to ceiling windows and a wooden ballet bar for cruising.
