Our Approach

For over ten years our nursery and curriculum have been heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach. The children, the environment and the community are at the heart of our learning.

We follow the child's interest and make their thoughts happen.

What does this look like in practice?

Here's what might happen:

There may be a group of children interested in birds. We encourage the children’s curiosity, asking why birds are so special.
We might bring out books about birds or go for a nature walk to see what birds we can see and hear.
The children might decide to build a birds house using resources found on nature walks to create their vision. This forms their project.
We document their discoveries through photos and notes, creating a visual story of their learning. This is displayed in our rooms with the documentation
Parents would be invited to share in the projects, they may show pictures of bird feeders in their gardens or share further information about thier childs interest and here the project goes on........

How we calculate your fees

Our Nursery Fees are annualised so that monthly invoices offer financial consistency.

We charge you for 50 weeks of care split into 12 monthly invoices.
This provides you with 2 weeks holiday discount.

We also offer a 5% discount for siblings
We close on 23rd December each year and re-open the first working day in January.
We are also closed all Bank Holidays.
We close for one training day per year in August.
Fees are not adjusted for absences due to illness or holidays, and we cannot swap days.
Additional ad-hoc days can be booked in advance, depending on availability.

How does the funding work at our setting?

For nurseries operating all year-round , parents can access stretched funding hours.
This allows for up to 22 hours per week over 50 weeks of the year (equivalent to 30 hours per week during term time).

It’s important to note that government funding does not mean you have free hours or a free place.
The funding does not cover items such as snacks, meals, our nursery app, or additional services.

At The Old School House Day Nursery we charge for these additional services which is included in our daily rates.
These include activities like Outdoor Explorers, Beach School, and specialists such as Debutots and Bike Weeks. These charges help bridge the gap between the high-quality care and facilities we provide and the funding allocated for basic childcare.
We are happy to provide you with a breakdown of fees.
