Buxton Nursery

Buxton Nursery was opened in 2002 on the premises of Buxton Infant School, we are a private nursery working in partnership with a state school.
We have facilities for children aged from three months to five years.
We are open for 50 weeks a year, the only closures being over Christmas / New Year and Bank Holidays.
Children can attend nursery on a term time only basis or all year round.
Before school, after school and during school holidays we can also care for the older brothers and sisters of nursery children (up to 7 years of age).
Government funding is available for pre-school children from the term after their 3rd birthday.
This funds a childs nursery place for up to 15 hours per week during the school term (38 weeks per year).
Our philosophy is to provide a warm, friendly and secure environment where all children in our care and their parents feel welcome and happy.
It is our aim to provide the best for children, staff and parents.
We use the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage to underpin the care, development and learning of all the children in our nursery.
We provide a safe indoor and outdoor environment that delivers a broad, balanced curriculum.
Our aim is for all children to develop to their full potential.
We take childcare very seriously and understand the trust parents place with us when we are asked to look after and educate their child.
Children in our nursery thrive in an atmosphere where they feel secure and happy and trust the adults that care for and educate them.
Home and nursery work together to offer opportunities and life experiences, so the child can grow and develop as an individual.
Safeguarding is our highest priority you can find our safeguarding policy in the parents section of the website.
The nursery employs a small team but maintains ratios of at least 1:3 in the nursery room, 1:4 for rising threes and 1:8 for over threes in the pre-school room.
We are very lucky to have a highly qualified and driven team of practitioners including a qualified teacher, 5 Level 5 practitioners and 9 practitioners with Level 3 qualifications, 1 with a Level 2 and 5 additional support staff (who are non-qualified).
ALL staff have up to date paediatric first aid training and complete regular Safeguarding training.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum throughout the nursery.
This curriculum will be continued during your childs Reception year at school.
We aim to equip your child with the skills to begin Reception with confidence.
