Welcome

Welcome to the Bumble Bees Day Nursery Website.

At Bumble Bees Day Nursery, we believe that children’s earliest memories and experiences will shape the way they think and feel for the rest of their lives. We put your child at the centre of our provision by listening to your child’s voice. We believe that children can express their voice in a multitude of ways – not just verbally. A young baby communicates with their eyes, their hands, their body movements or the sounds they make which reveal when they are interested, excited or calm. By recognising what inspires your child, we provide meaningful early life experiences which allow children to develop a love of learning and a confident self-image.

Our role during the early years is not to be ‘teachers’ but rather to shape the environment around the child to inspire them. We become play-partners and create opportunities for children to discover for themselves. We scaffold and support learning; we offer encouragement and positivity while modelling the ways in which children might want to engage with the world around them. Most importantly, we allow the child to choose what resonates with them.

We believe that an essential aspect of healthy early years development is a connection with nature and the outdoors. We have developed an outstanding outdoors area within our setting and regularly take groups of children on nature walks whilst also running a forest school.

We have developed our own blended curriculum based on influential early years approaches that have resonated with our setting, children, families and staff.
