Green Roots Nursery & Pre-School

About us

Green Roots is a nursery and pre-school, providing a holistic approach to childcare that involves the entire family. Through stimulating, sensory activities and outdoor play, we equip children with strong roots so that they have the confidence to succeed as they grow and develop.

Our team

We have a welcoming and caring team of qualified childcare practitioners who enjoy understanding each child’s individual needs to help them learn and grow with confidence. Our team receives continuous training and development, as well as access to training courses so that your child receives the best possible care.

Our talented on-site Chef provides exceptional home-cooked dishes and snacks, from a multicultural menu varied with different flavours and textures. We encourage the children to try a variety of foods from around the world, and also cater to any specific dietary requirements.

Sessions & fees

Our sessions are designed to meet the needs of both the children and their parents, and are also made to minimise the flow of children entering and leaving the building. We do not enforce a minimum number of sessions per week, however we recommend your child attends Green Roots at least twice a week to ensure their visits become part of their regular routine. In our experience, children who only attend once a week can sometimes find it difficult to settle in. However, we will be guided by parents as you know your children best!

To apply for a spot at Green Roots nursery & pre-school, a non-refundable deposit of £40 is required, as well as a refundable deposit of £150 per family (see clause 6.8). Session fees are inclusive of all food and drinks, milk formula, nappies, barrier cream, wipes and sun cream, as well as some additional weekly activities.

EYFS

Green Roots is specifically designed around the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, which allows children to achieve their full potential. The EYFS framework recognises the individuality of children and their achievements so that they are free to learn in different ways, at different rates.

The EYFS framework, paired with our ethos allows each child to have their own specific learning journey that is planned, recorded and shared with parents through our online system. At any time, you will be able to monitor your child’s progress and view their development.

Ofsted

The OFSTED framework and policies are a basis for ensuring the highest quality childcare is provided for Day-care settings. We see these requirements as the bare minimum and always strive to go above and beyond. At our recent inspection in May 2023, we were graded Good in all areas.

From our recent report, the highlights indicated that leaders and staff provide a broad curriculum that focuses on children’s interests, with children happily make choices and have fun as they engage in their play. Staff give children constant praise for their achievements which helps children to develop positive attitudes to learning.

“We were told by friends it could take months for our child to settle in, but after just three weeks our little one was waving us goodbye, blowing kisses to all the staff and growing daily in confidence. We could not be happier. Highly recommend!”
