Our Nursery Rooms

Each Room with our nurseries is lovingly created to give the best experience, the best resources and the best excitement to your child,

By using the Curiosity Approach within our nurseries we are truly able to offer a natural home-from-home experience.

This approach, and accreditation, builds on well known and established early years theorists, such as Reggio, Steiner, Te Whāriki and Montessori, in providing children with an environment, experiences, activities and resources which foster their in-built need to explore, try things out and engage in a high level of sustained shared thinking. We enhance the environments and resources that we already have in the nursery. We are introducing resources that are “real” and authentic, rather than plastic, to inspire awe and wonder and to enable children to handle items that are made of natural materials to gain skills and a level of understanding to support their learning and development at a deeper level.

DinoBabies – 0-2 Year Olds

Sensory Room – All Ages

Triceratops – 2-3 Year Olds

Raptors – 3-5 Year Olds

T-Rex – 5+ Year Olds

As each situation is different, and everyone doesn’t fit in the same box we prefer to discuss individual day nursery costs with you during your visit. Once your requirements are identified we clearly outline the costs to you, there’s no small print, everything aspect is checked and double-checked so that you’re in no doubt of the ongoing costs from day one.

FUNDING AND ASSISTANCE

We know that, no matter how great or how cost-efficient we try to make the nursery, the cost of day nursery can put many mums and dads off choosing it as an option.

There may, however, be help out there to assist you. There are a range of Government schemes open to parents that can make nursery affordable and we will do everything we can to help you understand the choices and access the funding that you might be eligible for.

Dinotots Childcare

Committed to encouraging children to develop, learn and be creative

“At Dinotots Childcare, we follow the Curiosity Approach which creates a cosy, homely environment where we can explore, learn and grow into independent learners utilising authentic resources, recycled materials and loose parts learning to look after equipment as we go.

We have a large, self-contained outdoor space to support our physical skills and well being, building assault courses, planing plants and herbs. Our setting is laid out over one floor with lots of free-flow space where children are treated as individuals and feel secure to express themselves and their personalities confidently.

We are often seen out and about in the community, visiting the allotments, local shops, the farm and the park and have a very good relationship with the local sheltered housing where we visit, sing together, and do craft workshops.”
