Big Bear Nursery

About

The Big Bear Nursery offers a fun and caring environment for the youngest in our community. With a recently appointed New Management Team and plenty of fresh ideas we ensure that The Big Bear Nursery offers the best start to all children who join us.

Our aim is to equip children with the skills that will prepare them for starting school. Our fully qualified and experienced nursery staff provide a stimulating range of term time activities. The children enjoy music, crafts, stories, yoga, cooking and active play, all whilst making new friends.

At the Big Bear Nursery, we encourage positive behaviours that prepare the children for school and life. The children in our care learn to cooperate and make decisions, they have the opportunity to try new things and build their confidence.

For children who stay for lunch, parents have the choice to provide a packed lunch or enjoy a freshly cooked hot meal, made by our community Cafe. We learn to sit together, eat well and clear away. We know that every child deserves the best start in life, so we provide stimulating and engaging activities to support each child’s developmental needs.

All-inclusive Nursery

We are an all-inclusive Nursery; our dedicated staff undergo training in order to support children with SEN and offer all children equal learning opportunities. We pride ourself on our SEN awareness and support. All staff are Makaton trained, we have staff who have completed down syndrome awareness training due to having 1 child with down syndrome, we have staff that are SEN trained and 1 staff member who is doing a SEN cache level 3 in SEN. We have two trained SENCO on site, who both help to support not only the children, but the staff to ensure we provide the best opportunities possible.

We have worked very closely with early years SEN department attending the SEN liaison briefing’s, we also have managed to have a positive relationship and are trusted and recommended by lots of professionals to parents with SEN children. We have 4 children within our small setting with additional needs of which we cover all areas to provide the children with the best positive outcomes.

We have worked closely with a range of professionals such as physiotherapist’s, occupational therapists, speech and language, IT specialists, Hearing specialist’s and portage workers, this is a huge part of our role to ensure we support the children in the best possible way.
