Details of Brinklow Day Nursery

The nursery is situated in the village of ‘Brinklow’ on the A427 close to the church of ‘St John the Baptist’ and a few yards from the village school.
The nursery is a single storey building registered for 18 children 0-5 yrs, this includes 9 babies.

The building consists of a playroom, with a tiled floor area, used for water, sand and messy play. This room is also used for Pre School with a large selection of toys, books, a home corner and computer area. The nursery is registered for the Nursery Education Grant for all 3-5 year olds.

We use our playroom also as a dining room where children, including babies, sit with staff in family groups at all meal times. The children sit when eating at adult size tables and chairs using boosters for toddlers and high chairs for the babies, here the children are taught table manners and how to use a knife and fork.

This room overlooks an orchard and grass area, with sheep grazing, and a variety of wild animals, sometimes even deer.

Leading from the playroom is our baby room this is a large room, which can accommodate nine babies 0-2 yrs, we use this room also for our quiet room, where children sleep or enjoy a story, during the day babies do spend time with the older children creating a family atmosphere. Within this room is a baby changing area, where babies sit together on potties. This room also overlooks the orchard with sheep and wild life.

The garden is at the front of the nursery, with a paved area, a bark area with climbing frame, and a playhouse. We have an outside shed, where all outside play games; bikes and cars are stored. Everyday children play outside and babies sleep in large prams, the nursery supply wet suits for all children and staff.

The nursery has a toilet block with child size toilets and wash basins, a staff toilet, a fully fitted kitchen, a staff room/office and a utility room.

Due to a scare about how much salt young children consume, we would like to give you information on your child's diet at nursery.

We use no processed foods.
Our cook does not add salt to any food.
We use fresh meat and vegetables.

Our cook makes all meals fresh, she also makes her own curry sauce, Bolognese sauce, meat pies, pastry, steamed puddings, fair cakes, jam tarts, milk puddings etc.

We use best quality products, named brands of cereal, fish, corned beef and drinks.

Our only sin is crisps and Wotsits which are served no more than twice in any five weeks.
