Healthy Eating

We promote healthy eating within our nurseries. We ask each child to bring in a portion of fruit or vegetable for snack time, which we put together and share out amongst the children.

Water is available to the children throughout the day and milk at snack times.

We try to make lunchtime an enjoyable experience and while we encourage the children to eat their packed lunches, we do not force them. We try to promote eating savoury before sweet. Any leftover food is returned in your child's lunchbox, so you can see how much they have eaten.

Clothing

We advise you to dress the children in comfortable, manageable clothes. They cannot work in restrictive clothing, or clothes they fear to spoil. Although we do have a small supply of spare clothes, please bring in your own set, particularly if your child is toilet training. If your child is in nappies, please supply spare ones. In wet weather, a waterproof coat and wellingtons should be brought in and in the summer, please ensure your child has sun cream applied.

Signing in and Out

It is an important requirement, for both Health & Safety and Ofsted, that all children are signed in on the sheets or book at the entrance door when they arrive and are signed out upon leaving the nursery. Please remember to do so on your way in and out.

Policies and Procedures

Our policies and procedures are kept in the main entrance hall of the nurseries and we advise all parents to take the time to look through them.

Staff

Little Tots Nurseries has fully qualified and experienced staff. In addition we have specialist teachers who visit for a variety of extra curricular activities.

We aim for a ratio of one adult to five children (more if we are taking a trip).

Working with Parents

We are always striving to improve our nurseries and welcome any suggestions or comments parents may have. Members of staff are always available to listen or you may make personal appointments to see nursery managers any time.
