Choosing a nursery for your child instead of a childminder brings numerous benefits. With a higher number of children, your little one will have more opportunities for social interaction, opening doors to diverse backgrounds and different cultures. Did you know that children learn so much from their peers? By interacting and conversing with a larger group, their learning opportunities increase exponentially. Small groups with only 1 or 2 childminders cannot prepare children for the transition to a bustling school classroom of up to 26 children. At Fennies Croydon, Addiscombe Road, we prepare them for success! Our nurturing nurseries follow a well-structured routine that provides stability while giving children the freedom to choose from a variety of experiences. They'll thrive in an environment that nurtures their sense of stability and allows them to explore their interests in between activities. It's about fostering their individuality! Unlike childminders who operate from their homes, Fennies offers spacious facilities and a wide variety of resources. This ensures engagement in learning, especially when they spend full days, five days a week with us.
There are multiple reasons we don’t offer half-day services at Fennies Croydon, Addiscombe Road, one of which being the fact that children tend to find it harder to settle if they only attend for a portion of the day, which can affect their readiness for preschool. If the children were to only attend part of the day, it would be likely they would miss out on crucial aspects of the curriculum, as the routines of our day are designed to provide a holistic learning experience with different styles of activities scheduled throughout the day. Also, if parents were to come in to collect their children halfway through the day, it is likely to unsettle and upset the other children who stay. However, this of course does not affect early morning drop-offs/evening pick-ups where we remain flexible to accommodate your needs to the best of our ability.
At Fennies Croydon, Addiscombe Road, each day is thoughtfully structured to support children’s growth and development through a balance of educational activities and play-based learning. From the start of the day, children engage in a welcoming environment where they can explore a variety of stimulating activities tailored to their interests and developmental stages. Our educators guide them through both group and individual learning experiences, focusing on key areas like communication, physical activity, and creative play. Meal and snack times are a chance to enjoy nutritious food prepared by our on-site chefs, and outdoor play provides opportunities for fresh air, exercise, and exploration. The day is rounded out with quiet moments for rest, ensuring children feel refreshed and ready for more discovery. Throughout the day, parents receive updates via our parent app, so you’re always in the loop on those special moments throughout the day.
