At Little Green Forest Day Nursery we have two outdoor environments which we fully utilise. Our
all-weather surfaced area provides opportunities to ride on bikes and scooters, play with balls
and hoops, den build, and play a variety of games. In the natural garden the children can climb
and slide and explore the trees, bushes, and plants. Here we make full use of our explorer’s box
full of magnifying glasses, trowels, tweezers, and bug containers!
We pride ourselves on excellent communication at Little Green Forest Day Nursery. Our vision is
to engage all parents in their child’s nursery journey and achieve the best outcomes through
meaningful partnership with parents. Parents have online access to the “parent zone” which keeps
you updated on your child’s progress at nursery. Parents can track their child’s progress and
development and view nursery activities. We love to hear about home life and encourage parents
to add their own photos, videos, and comments.
Drop off and collection times are a good time to share information about your child. On
collection we will tell you all about their busy day with us. Our youngest children also have an
online daily diary to keep you informed about meals, bottles, sleep times, and nappy changes.
Each term we track your child’s progress and this can be viewed through parent zone. Twice a year
your child’s key person will invite you to meet and discuss your child’s learning journey and
their time at nursery. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s progress in more
detail, ask any questions you may have, share ideas, and look at ways to work together to
enhance your child’s development. Staff are always on hand and happy to discuss your child’s
progress at any time should you have any concerns.
All the staff at Little Green Forest Day Nursery go through a rigorous recruitment process and
they are all checked through the Disclosure and Barring System (formerly Criminal Records Bureau
or ‘CRB’). References are obtained to ensure their suitability to work as part of the Little
Green Forest Day Nursery team and all staff undertake an induction programme which includes
gaining a first aid qualification as well as safeguarding and food safety training.
