Providence is thoughtfully divided into three large rooms for Babies (0–2), Toddlers (2–3), and Preschool children (3–5), each offering fun, age-appropriate activities to support every stage of development, along with dedicated wet play facilities, bathrooms, and changing areas, plus access to a free-flow garden where children can play, learn, and explore together.
A calm, nurturing space designed to support early development through sensory play and gentle exploration.
An engaging environment that encourages independence, movement, and early social skills through play-based learning.
A stimulating setting focused on building confidence, creativity, and school readiness through structured and imaginative activities.
Our curriculum is built on the values that guide everything we do: we inspire, we respect, we believe in potential, we empathise, and we act with integrity. These values shape every experience we offer.
Before your child officially starts, we offer settle sessions to help them gently adjust to their new environment.
If your child needs additional sessions, we’ll happily arrange these with your key person and Room Leader to ensure they feel fully comfortable and secure.
Your child will be supported by a dedicated key person and co‑key person who will build a strong, trusting relationship with them. Your key person will spend time getting to know your child, and will work with you to share important information about their routines, interests and needs. This helps us create a smooth, personalised start to nursery life.
Every child is unique, and we celebrate that. Our approach promotes equality, diversity and a deep respect for each child’s individuality. We create the foundations for children to belong, contribute and thrive by ensuring they feel safe, stimulated and genuinely cared for. By taking the time to understand your child’s interests, routines and family circumstances, we help them settle quickly and confidently. We also want you to feel fully involved and assured that your child’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
Moving to a New Room:
We want every transition to feel positive for you and your child. Before moving rooms, your child will enjoy short play sessions in their new space, supported by their key person. They’ll gradually meet their new key person and take part in familiar activities. We’ll keep you updated throughout.
Moving to School:
When it’s time for school, we work closely with your child’s new setting to ensure a smooth handover. Teachers are invited into nursery to meet your child and learn about their interests and routines. In some cases, your child’s key person may join you on a transitional visit to support continuity and communication.
We know children flourish when nursery and home work together. As your child’s first and most important educator, your involvement is essential. We offer termly parent meetings, stay‑and‑play sessions and regular opportunities to join us in the setting. We also run parent webinars and provide information on topics such as home learning and healthy eating to support you beyond the nursery day.
Your voice matters. We welcome your feedback, ideas and suggestions to help us continually strengthen the high‑quality care and education we provide.
At YMCA Childcare, we believe mealtimes should be happy, relaxed and social moments for children and staff to enjoy together. We encourage positive interactions and make these times a warm part of the day. We are committed to providing healthy, nutritious and balanced meals and snacks that meet each child’s individual needs.
We provide:
Menus are shared with parents each term so you always know what’s on offer.
If you prefer, you are welcome to send your child with a packed lunch from home. We simply ask that you follow our Packed Lunch Guidance to help ensure meals are healthy and nutritious
