At Forest Friends Day Nursery, our mission is to provide a friendly, caring and secure environment where your child’s happiness and well-being is paramount; with a dedicated team of Early Years Professionals committed to delivering the highest quality childcare and education for children from 3 months to 5 years.
Our Core Values:
• To create a stimulating environment to inspire the development of happy, healthy and educated children.
• To provide nourishing, wholesome and delicious home-cooked meals, made from fresh ingredients to promote healthy eating.
• To work in partnership with you at every stage of your child’s progression.
• To provide a setting that promotes equality and the values of diversity.
• Empowering children to form secure relationships and develop caring friendships.
• We encourage independence at all ages to build confidence and self-reliance in preparation for school.
Our staff team are a dedicated bunch of people who take a lot of pride in their work, ensuring your child’s day is filled with fun, educational activity and learning. Every child has a named member of staff known as a ‘key person’, who will have more contact with your child than any other staff member at the nursery. The key person will show a special interest in your child through personal interaction day to day, and is likely to be the person you will speak with if you need to discuss any aspect of your child’s care.

Happy Left Handers Day
Who else is a fellow leftie??? 👍🏻
We are asked when will my child show their dominant side. It can be as early as 9/10 months but children can pick and choose until they are 5 or 6! So it’s always good to offer them their; toy, cutlery, clothes etc… in both hands! You maybe be surprised which hand they choose.
