All of you are signed up to be able to view your child's Tapestry, so you can see what they get up to each week at Nursery. 

Tapestry also gives you the chance to upload what you're up to at home.  This allows us to share those experiences with your child at Nursery & they do love looking at photos of themselves! 

Not sure how to upload? Follow the instructions below.....

*Log into the account. 

*On the app, at the top right of the screen you'll see a plus.  Click on that. It takes you to a new screen.  

*Here you can add a title (it will say 'tap to add a title'). 

*Add the description of what your little one has been up to in the yellow box. 

*You can then add a photo by taking a picture, recording a video, or adding from your phone's library where you may have already taken a photo or video. 

*Once you've added the media, all you need to do is tap 'Upload' in the top right.  We will then be able to view it at Nursery! 

Any problems, please either drop us an email or ask your child's keyworker who will be able to help!

At Nursery, we are very proud of our Aunties.  We all know, a strong workforce is extremely important to ensure the care we provide for your little ones is consistent & of a high quality.  We have a very high percentage of long-term serving staff & a healthy mix of young & mature members of staff.  The team is like a family for us, the staff are passionate about what they do & it shows each day by working alongside them.

As a Nursery, we adhere to a variety of policies guided by OFSTED & the Early Years Alliance.  

You're welcome to ask to see our policies at any time & the main ones are listed below for you to view. 

Here at Nursery we are committed to making your children's experiences the best they can be.  One of the best methods to help with this is through raising money to help us buy new toys, resources, games & to be able to go out on trips.  We are a not for profit organisation, so this is a reason we hold fairs & have raffles at Christmas & Easter. 

In 2020 we were unable to have our Easter Fair due to COVID, so we came up with the idea of a Virtual Fair... they were starting to be all the rage on Facebook & Instagram.  This took off brilliantly, asking stall holders to pay a fee for their stall which would go straight into Nursery funds.  

This has gone so well & all the stall holders continue to make sales, so we've kept it going.  Shopping local & shopping small is a brilliant way to support small businesses & we would love you to join us.
