NENE VALLEY DAY NURSERY
Our Rooms
Daisy Room
Age range: 3 months – 18 months | Capacity: 6 children with 2 educators
The Daisy Room is thoughtfully designed for our youngest children, offering a warm, homelike space where babies can follow their own routines while discovering the world around them. Using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) as our guide, we tailor each day to your baby’s individual interests and stage of development.
Babies enjoy sensory and creative experiences—from hand painting to exploring textures like jelly and pasta—and build early gross‑motor skills in a secure outdoor area. Each child has a personalised Learning Journal that travels with them through the nursery and is shared with you each term.
End‑of‑day handover: Chat with our team and receive a detailed Day Sheet covering feeds, naps, nappies, and play highlights.
Highlights
- Flexible, home‑like routines
- EYFS‑aligned individual planning
- Sensory & creative play
- Safe outdoor exploration
- Termly Learning Journals
Sunflower Room
Age range: 18 months – 2.5 years | Capacity: 16 children
In the Sunflower Room, active toddlers immerse themselves in hands‑on play that nurtures curiosity, language, and budding independence. Our educators balance planned learning with child‑led exploration, adjusting weekly themes to each child’s interests.
Short group times filled with songs, musical instruments, and stories build early social skills, while practical tasks like self‑serving meals and putting on hats empower children to do things “all by myself.”
End‑of‑day handover: Friendly verbal update, with Daily Sheet available on request (meals, sleep, nappies, activities).
Highlights
- Child‑led play, weekly themes
- Group songs & stories
- Early independence routines
- Responsive EYFS planning
- Optional Daily Sheets

End‑of‑day handover: Verbal summary plus optional Day Sheet covering naps, meals, nappies, and learning highlights.
