From the First Friends PDN
First Friends is a tiny nursery that can only accommodate 36 kids at once. Children and staff members all have tight bonds, and staff members constantly encourage collaborations with parents and caregivers to support children's learning and development and guarantee their sense of safety and security.
There are two rooms in the nursery: Ladybirds (6 weeks to 2.5 years) and Butterflies (2.5 to 5 years). This ethos allows the kids time in each classroom to reach their full potential and develop their self-confidence. Our guiding principle is to aid children in becoming aware of their surroundings and the people in them, including their nursery friends, the larger community, and the natural world.
Children can gain an empowering sense of caring and duty from this, providing them with a solid basis on which to build their futures.
Contact us at any time if you have questions. Our hours are 7.30 am to 6 pm.
