5 Reasons to Choose Devon Nurseries
Choosing which nursery is best for your child can be a daunting process. Beyond the wholly natural worries about being separated from your child for the first time, you’ll want to be assured that the nursery will give your child the same level of care that you would at home.
Here at Devon Nurseries, we understand the hopes and fears that come with sending your child to nursery. Trust us, we’ve been there and seen it a hundred times over. That’s why we take our time to ensure parents and guardians feel informed and reassured before making a decision.
If you’re looking for the best nursery in Devon for your little one, here are some reasons why we would like you to consider one of our much-loved nurseries.
1. Warm and Friendly Staff
One of the most important things for parents is knowing the staff. That’s why we take so much pride in our small, professional and caring team. While we have four nurseries, we’re all one big family.
All of our staff go out of their way to ensure both parent and child feel welcomed into the Devon Nurseries family. It’s the little details, like taking time to answer all your “silly questions” (which are never as silly as you think) and pausing to cuddle and comfort children if they fall, that make our nurseries such special places.
We’re so happy to hear testimonials from parents telling us how their children are excited to go to nursery, and how they happily talk about our staff at home.
These connections are great for building your little one’s social skills and confidence, as well as giving you peace of mind knowing your child is having a wonderful experience every day at nursery.
2. Strong EYFS Curriculum
We take immense pride and responsibility in our role as both carers and educators, delivering on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework so your child is ready to step into primary school full of knowledge and confidence.
We always aim to develop children’s skills gently, with care and attention as children develop at different speeds. With a focus on activities, resources, experiences and opportunities, we deliver a holistic learning experience that is fun for children and informative for parents.
3. Encouraging Confidence in Children
The first few years of your child’s life are really important for developing their social skills, cognitive abilities and confidence. We know these are things that parents get anxious about, too, which is why we take great care to ensure these skills are developed.
Through regular group activities and experiences like forest schools, our staff ensure that children learn to become thinkers and talkers, use their imagination, and build positive social relationships. All of this contributes to the development of inquisitive, confident children who are ready for primary school.
4. Delicious Food Prepared On-Site
Good food is crucial at every stage of development but particularly in early years. That’s why all our nurseries prepare food on-site, from scratch, using fresh ingredients.
Our staff work to promote healthy eating habits every day. All our mealtimes are family dining experiences, further helping the development of positive social skills and good table manners.
5. Equal Opportunities for All
We work hard to ensure Devon Nurseries are positive spaces for everyone, including children, parents and staff. Many of our nurseries have special facilities set up for different needs, including Arabic-speaking staff at our Tic Tocs Nursery.
Not only do we treat everyone fairly but we also go out of our way to promote acceptance of individuals amongst children. All of our staff are highly qualified, allowing them to carefully handle different conversations and also any situations where children develop at different speeds.
While we hope these reasons will help show why Devon Nurseries is the perfect place for your child, we know there’s no substitute for visiting the nursery and speaking to staff beforehand. When you’re ready, feel free to contact us to arrange a visit or simply for an informal chat – we’re happy to answer any questions you might have.
