Our Vision
We believe that all families in our locality should have access to high quality services relevant to their needs.
Eastwood comprises of a maintained nursery school (a Council-run school for children under the age of 5) and a non-profit private day nursery.
Both the Nursery School and Day Nursery are equally important and together provide a comprehensive range of services to local babies and young children and their families.
Working in partnership
Multi-agency working is at the heart of our work, and we work closely with health visitors, midwives, speech and language therapists, Early Years CAMHS and a consultant social workers.
A partnership with parents/carers is critical and our services are just as geared towards parents as to children. Parents and professionals work together each day to find out more about children as individuals, unique people and to ensure that together we can provide help where it is needed so that children reach their full potential.
Enabling Environment
Children experience a stimulating, vibrant, challenging, inclusive environment where they pursue their own curiosities, take risks and discover from first-hand experiences.
Adults with vision and understanding enable independent learning. Children explore freely indoors and outdoors throughout each session.
