Joining Woodend Nursery

Woodend Nursery is a daycare centre located in Repton, Derbyshire, providing a comprehensive range of programmes for children aged 0-8. Activities include outdoor play, story time, art and crafts, walks, and day trips. We strive to create a safe and engaging learning environment for children to grow and develop.

For most children, this is the first time that have been cared for by anyone else other than family. With that in mind, we take steps to ensure the transition from home to nursery is as smooth as possible.
As well as meetings with parents and carers, we share information on policies and procedures and hold settling in sessions to ease children into their new environments.

In each room there is a dedicated team or ‘key persons’ who will get to know your child and will be your first point of contact to share information with.

For Parents

Baby room

Our calm and nurturing baby room is the perfect start for your baby. It is equipped with everything they need to grow and develop.

A place for them to explore, crawl and develop new skills.
Our restful sleep room is a perfect place to get all of that important sleep so that our babies are happy and content.

Toddler room

Toddlers love to be active, develop curiosity, imagination and
there is everything a toddler needs in our bright and spacious toddler room. Our toddler room has spaces for creative play, as well as a cosy area for story time with your friends.
All of our rooms are on the ground level, which gives easy access to our fantastic outdoors, yet another space for toddlers to explore and be active!

Preschool

The unique space we have designed for our oldest children reflects their wide range of interests. There is plenty of space to be active, be creative, experiment and develop curiosity.

Our aim is that children are able to gain confidence and by encouraging independence, and we are giving children everything to equip them for the future.

Our emphasis on outdoor learning means that children develop a love of nature and the outdoors. This ranges from woodland walks to visiting our donkeys or planting seeds in our growing area.

The great outdoors

We are blessed with an abundance of outdoor space for our children to explore and have adventures in. There is everything from a safe space for our babies to water play, large loose parts and diggings areas. There is always something fun happening within our outdoor learning spaces.

Free flow is in place for all age groups so that children can be healthy, active and develop a love of nature in our beautiful garden.

We are what we eat.

With all that growing to do, nutrition is very important to us. Our seasonal menus have been created to provide healthy, tasty meals with a variety of ingredients to tempt hungry mouths.

Not every diet is the same, so our nursery cook will cater for individual allergy or dietary needs.
