Diverse Books and Toys: Staff develop the environment to reflect the stories children enjoy.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children play in a large cardboard gingerbread house and have 'tea parties' with the three bears.
Philosophy: Staff skilfully engage children in learning, taking time to learn about children's interests and using these to support their development.
Activities: Children join in with rhymes and songs enthusiastically, and staff take children to weekly swimming lessons at the local pool.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Children progress well, developing at the levels expected for their ages. Staff closely monitor children's development and put measures in place when gaps in learning arise.
Communication: The manager and staff build strong relationships with parents and families. They share information on a daily basis, both verbally and through an online system. Parents feel well informed about events at the setting.
Programs and Resources: Staff learn sign language to help children with hearing difficulties communicate more effectively.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff provide a calm and relaxed atmosphere with high expectations of children's behaviour, rewarding them with praise.
Safeguarding Training: All staff access safeguarding training and the manager ensures their knowledge is up to date during staff meetings.
Play and Learning Integration: Staff harness children's attention during well-planned activities and encourage them to recall the words from their favourite story.
Transition to Primary School: Children develop their independence from a young age and learn self-help skills like putting on their own bibs and blowing their nose at the 'nose station'.

Happiness and Settling: Children's key persons are chosen depending on which member of staff the child naturally bonds with, helping children to feel safe and secure. Children look in a mirror as they wipe their nose and put their tissue in the bin.

From the Heaton Dene Nursery School
Based in Westhoughton, Heaton Dene Nursery is a well-known daycare centre serving the Bolton and Chorley districts. It is situated on the M6 and M61's primary commuter routes. From 0 to 5 years old in the nursery and 3 to 12 years old in the Schools Out club, we provide all-inclusive childcare. 51 weeks out of the year, the nursery is open from 7:30 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. The nursery building is a collection of barns that have been turned into one large space with a lot of outside play space. We are passionate about giving your children the engaging, caring, and educational environment they need to grow and learn positive attitudes throughout their most formative years at Heaton Dene Day Nursery. The nursery is run by a family. We take great satisfaction in being a nursery that operates virtually. To make the move from home to childcare as seamless as possible, we work closely with parents. Children seldom want to go because we let them take the initiative and move at their own pace.
