Providing childcare for children from 7 months -5 years since 1990
ABOUT US
“Knowledge is power” said Hobbs, but “imagination is more powerful even than knowledge” said Einstein
Willowdene is a Nursery where memories and impressions are never forgotten. We challenge children to think, question, explore and create; encouraging them to become whatever their interests and talents direct them towards. We strive to create an exciting environment to provide our children with a love of learning, a curiosity of how things work and a chance to achieve confidence in all of their endeavours. Willowdene will inspire your child to grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually at his or her own rate, and in their own way.
We operate between the hours of 8am & 5:30pm
OUR FOCUS
Creativity is intelligence having fun...
THE ARTS
At Willowdene our children partake in a great many activities involving the arts everyday, from model making, painting, design and experimenting with colour, textures creating works of art. We enjoy dressing up, creating our style, dancing to favourite songs. and creating music. The arts inspire us to think creatively and imaginatively which is why we consider them an integral part of our curriculum.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Our charming garden has a wide variety of outdoor resources and surfaces on which the children can play, climb, socialise, be creative and imaginative. Children can access the various unique areas, a forest area, water area, cottage garden, an upcycle garden with mud kitchen, large central sandpit and lots of equipment for encouraging large motor skills. Children’s outdoor play and interests are mirrored and compliment our indoor provision and we ensure plenty of opportunity for time spent outdoors everyday.
IMAGINATIVE PLAY
Imaginative play is a fun way for our children to challenge and extend their learning. We are always creating special spaces for activities, puppets, small world, role play areas, play-dough all prompting play and learning linked to the children's interests, current topics and themes taught throughout the term.
MISSION STATEMENT
To educate children in a caring, happy, stimulating and secure environment, so they can flourish and develop to their full potential.
