ABOUT US
At Fig Tree we recognise that children are born with the innate ability to learn and they are their own best teachers, as long as their environment and interactions provide opportunities for rich learning experiences.
We believe that children should have meaningful learning experiences and the freedom to express themselves. We follow the children’s interest and cater for their needs through meaningful play.
By the time our children leave Fig Tree we want them to be confident in themselves, be curious about their world as well as courageous, independent and with a thirst for knowledge.

An excerpt from our Ofted Report from November 2022
"Children arrive happy and excited to begin their day. They separate from their parents and carers with ease. Children have strong attachments with the kind and caring staff. They receive plenty of cuddles and reassurance, when needed. Babies grow in confidence with the warm care that they receive from staff, who have a strong understanding of their needs and interests. Staff are friendly and patient and offer regular gentle reminders of the rules. They encourage and praise the children throughout the day. This helps to support children's self-esteem and emotional development."
"Children enjoy a range of activities provided. For example, children play with a water table set up as a swimming pool, when they show an interest in swimming. They enjoy a ball game outdoors and kick balls to see them bounce on the crates. Children develop curiosity as they play. They enthusiastically tap on a large plastic tray of beans to see how high the beans can go. Staff talk to the children about how to make the beans go higher or lower. Children also snuggle up to staff as they listen to stories in small groups and develop their love of books. They are engaged and motivated and show a willingness to try new things. For example, older children concentrate intently as they cut open a melon and explore the seeds."
EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT
At Fig Tree Day Nursery, it is important to us that each child is supported to progress in their personal, social and educational development. All our activities are designed to meet the targets of the EYFS. This is the Early Years Foundation Stage which is the government framework for under 5’s learning and development.
Every child has a key worker and an online private journal, Tapestry, which tracks all your child’s observations and assessments. It will feature some pictures of your child whilst they are at the nursery.
Your child's individual progress can be given to their teacher on starting at primary school. This log is also shared with the child’s parents so they can be involved in their child’s education.

WHY US?
Unique and Valuable
As a small nursery, we maintain a friendly approach where your child is treated as an individual and can express their own personality in a safe and comfortable environment. With our extended opening hours, we cater for families who need childcare outside of the standard hours and work together with parents and carers to provide childcare solutions that work for you.
