New Moon Nurseries

Nutrition is high on our agenda, ensuring that children have a healthy, balanced diet whilst at nursery is extremely important to us. We source our fruit, vegetables and meat locally through green grocers and butchers, therefore the ingredients for meals are of the highest quality.

We offer a breakfast consisting of cereals, toast and fruit. A hot lunch and either a hot or cold tea, with a range of fruit and vegetable snacks throughout the day. We believe that our children’s tummies should be filled with goodness, which will provide them with the energy to engage and learn within our wonderful environment.

Water is available throughout the day whenever the children need it. We provide water and milk to drink in nursery to help reduce sugar intake through juice drinks, ensuring our children are fully hydrated.

Our cook is extremely experienced in providing meals for children with allergies and intolerances. If your child has any special meal time requirements you’d like to speak to us about, just get in touch!

Feel free to talk to us about your child’s specific dietary needs.

As both of the nurseries are based in beautiful houses, we have one garden space which is large enough for children of all ages to enjoy.

Our nursery garden has growing areas for fruits and vegetables. We learn about the outdoor world, caring for the environment/animals and developing ways to becoming self-sustainable. We love to learn about the natural world in greater depth. We want our children to understand the importance of taking care of the natural world in a way that suits their development.

Our practitioners will guide your child through interactions, supporting their exploratory and imaginative play development.

Our educators are fantastic at understanding when children are ready to engage in play outdoors and when they just need to have a good run around and burn some energy.

Your child’s Key Person will also develop a relationship with you as a parent and you will be able to share your experiences from home along with the developments or changes you have made to their routines and we can then adapt and change routines within nursery.

They will also be responsible for all the assessment and observation of your child within nursery. They will ensure that your child is continuing to develop within their learning and provide evidence through photographs and videos. You will receive feedback after each session, sharing the experiences they have had during the day and all the key information from the day.

We are extremely passionate about recruiting educators that have an ongoing thirst to learn and develop new skills. We have an extremely dynamic team providing high quality care and education for our children. We ensure that all our educators are Paediatric First Aid trained and have training in Safeguarding and Food Hygiene, so that you can be confident that your child is completely safe in our care.

We have a robust recruitment policy in order to ensure we are employing educators that share our passion and vision. We have a truly wonderful team at New Moon Nursery and I am extremely proud of each individual Educator, they all bring their own ideas and experience into the mix which enables the nursery to continue to develop. They have a real passion for childcare and each one has the special skills required to ensure that your child feels safe, loved and respected whilst they journey through our nursery.

All nursery information is recorded here and our educators log information about nappies, sleeps and meals. They also upload photographs and videos so that you have a wonderful electronic story of your child’s journey through our nursery.

All our observations and assessments are logged here and linked up to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) document, so you can easily track your child’s development and progression.

As parents you can contribute to this story by adding pictures and comments of experiences you and your child have enjoyed at home. We can link these experiences into the EYFS.

We will support you to get started with the app when your child registers with us so that you can begin to share your child’s nursery experiences from day one.
