What type of curriculum do you use?
At Shining Pearls Nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which is a play-based curriculum that focuses on the holistic development of children. It covers seven areas of learning and development, including communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design.
What activities do you offer for children of different ages?
We offer a wide range of age-appropriate activities for children at our nursery. For babies and toddlers, we have sensory play, music and movement, and outdoor exploration. For older children, we have more structured activities, such as phonics, reading, writing, and numeracy, as well as arts and crafts, cooking, and physical activities. We also offer extracurricular activities, such as language classes, dance classes, and sports.
What is your policy regarding sick children and medication administration?
We have a strict policy regarding sick children and medication administration. If a child is unwell, we ask parents to keep them at home until they are fully recovered. If a child becomes ill at the nursery, we will isolate them from other children and contact the parents immediately. We do not administer medication unless it is prescribed by a doctor, and parents must provide written consent and clear instructions for the administration of medication.
What is your teacher-to-student ratio at the nursery?
Our teacher-to-student ratio at Shining Pearls Nursery depends on the age group of the children. For babies and toddlers, we have a ratio of 1:3, which means one teacher for every three children. For older children, we have a ratio of 1:4, which means one teacher for every four children. We also have additional staff members to support the teachers and ensure the safety and wellbeing of all children.
Can you provide references or testimonials from satisfied parents?
Yes, we are happy to provide references and testimonials from satisfied parents. We have a page on our website dedicated to parent reviews, and we also have a book of testimonials available to view at the nursery. We are proud of our reputation for providing high-quality childcare and early education, and we are always happy to share the positive feedback we receive from parents.
