Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Staff do not always consider how they can fully utilise the learning opportunities the outdoor area provides.
Philosophy: The manager has designed an ambitious curriculum that covers the seven areas of learning.
Activities: The staff plan interesting and engaging activities, such as food tasting and a mermaid lagoon, to stimulate imaginative play indoors. Children use real stethoscopes to hear each other's hearts after listening to a story about looking after our bodies.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Teaching is usually led by an adult, and child-initiated play is very limited.
Communication: The staff work in partnership with parents to ensure consistent and tailored routines for the children. Parents hold the nursery in high regard and value the staff.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children who are upset when their parents leave are cuddled and comforted by their key person. They settle quickly as a result of lovely close bonds and the skilful interactions of staff.
Safeguarding Training: Effective safeguarding procedures are in place from recruitment of staff through to their employment, and all staff receive up to date safeguarding training.

From the Didsbury Village Day Nursery
To understand more about what has made us unique since 1995, please read the sections below titled Our Philosophy and Our History. We are aware of the difficulty and degree of confidence needed when entrusting your child to the care of others.
Therefore, picking the best nursery is both a crucial and challenging choice. '
As a result, our only form of "promotion" is word-of-mouth recommendation, which has alone meant that throughout the years, the nursery has cared for a large number of children from the local community as well as resulted in parents wishing to bring their children here from further afield.
Sheila and Richard Seed founded the Didsbury Village Day Nursery in 1995.
Sheila was dissatisfied with the quality of childcare offered in the area after spending 17 years working as a B.Ed. professional teaching early years age groups in schools. She therefore set out to establish a nursery with standards so high that she herself would be content to leave her own child there.
The nursery was founded and continues to operate on this fundamental tenet.
The only way we can continue to provide generations of children in the community with daycare that meets our high standards is by hiring nursery experts who share our philosophy and passion for quality childcare.
