About – All Saints Day Nursery

About us

Newly refurbished in 2009 , All Saints is a new nursery in the heart of Northolt. We are a family run business, and we love nothing more than educating and seeing children grow and flourish!

Our core aim is to provide children with the highest standard of education, care and social skills. We aim to provide every child the best possible start in life.

Learning and development

There are seven core areas of learning and development, all of which are and all part of our curriculum. These areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, and form relationships.

Communication & language

This involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves; and to speak and listen in a range of situations.

Physical development

This involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food.

Personal, social & emotional

This involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities.

Literacy development

This involves encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. Children must be given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems, and other written materials) to ignite their interest.

Mathematics

This involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces, and measures.

Expressive arts & design

This involves enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance, role-play, and design and technology.

Understanding the world

This involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment.

Dietary and Hygiene Needs

We have a fully qualified cook who prepares a nutritional breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea for the whole of the nursery. Baby food is also available and we comply with parent’s recommendations and wishes.

All members of the nursery team undergo a training program commencing their employment, which covers subjects such as Paediatric First Aid. Three full time members of staff hold basic Food Hygiene certificates. All of the staff hold current and up to date child care certificates. All staff is CRB checked.
