About Us
The Wendy House Day Nursery is privately owed by Victoria Vann who has over 12 years of practical child care experience and numerous qualifications including NNEB, HND, Management Level 5, Level three in Delivering Adult Learning and an A1 Assessors Award. At present, Victoria is working towards achieving her Early Years profession status. Victoria works on a full time basis at the nursery and is pro-active in making conscious improvements to the child care facility.
The Wendy House Day Nursery employs 21 staff with a range of qualifications from NVQ level 3 to BA hons in early childhood studies. Staff also hold relevant paediatric first aid, food hygiene and safeguarding certificates. The nursery encourages staff to continue their professional development and supports this however possible.
We actively encourage partnership with parents and each child is assigned their own Key Person. The children in our care will form friendships and relationships with other children and this is key to their social development. When children leave the security of the family home, they need to form new relationships with adults who will support them in the nursery.
We provide each child with a living diary that will provide you with a detailed record of their learning and development in accordance with the EYFS. This builds up a beautiful visual record of their time spent with us.
We also implement the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) throughout our setting and introduce this into every aspect of our day, and ensure that children’s individual needs are met and catered for and their interests are planned for.
We believe in an holistic approach towards learning and development.
The Overall Effectiveness of the Early Years Provision
"Children make good progress and respond enthusiastically to the many interesting and stimulating learning activities offered. They are cared for in line with their unique learning and development needs and in partnership with parents and carers."
The Effectiveness of Leadership and Management of the Early Years Provision
"Arrangements for safe guarding children are robust, regularly reviewed, carefully managed and understood by all staff. Leadership and management of the setting are exceptional. Those in charge lead the nursery effectively, setting the operational ethos and supporting a cultural of reflective thinking, improvement planning and on–going training. The staff are highly qualified and work effectively together to ensure children enjoy a safe and stimulating environment. Relationships with parents are excellent. A true partnership is achieved as staff work closely with them to support, guide and nurture the children."
