Our Rooms
Provision
We offer places to children in the Explorers Room, The Discoverers Room and ‘Kidz Around the Clock’ club, as well as ‘Go Wild’ club.

The Explorers Room
This can often be the start of your child’s nursery journey. Practitioners work closely with parents to ensure that your child has everything they need to make a smooth transition from home to nursery. Each child is placed with a key person in a colour group of with children ageed between 2-3years with various ability as this aids development and fosters independent learning.
Every child is offered the opportunity to have a rest time and this is suited to the child and their needs. Every child is provided with their own sheet and blanket which is stored in a bag, labelled with the child’s name is washed at the end of each week. Dinner time takes place in the school dining hall, with food being cooked in the school kitchen. Our doors are open most of the time so that the children can access inside and outside with a variety of different activities to suit all developmental abilities. When the summer term starts, we begin transitions into the Discoverers room, so that the children get an idea of what to expect when they move up in the September and spend time with the staff who will be teaching them.
The Discoverers
We admit children from around the age of 3 years old to 5 years old. Across the room, key persons have groups of children of mixed ages and abilities and all children in this room mingle and explore together, learning from each other in the process. The younger children learn from watching and listening to older children, and the older children learn to help and support the younger children. It provides a warm, fun and supportive environment for all to learn and thrive in. Independence is key for children in this room, ensuring children are ‘school ready’ when they leave us for the next phase of their education.
At the start of the summer term, practitioners begin the transition process for all children moving to Reception Class or moving to another setting. Meetings are set up between key persons and school teachers to ensure a full and comprehensive hand-over of the development of the children. Practitioners take children who are going to attend Hollyfield Primary School through to assembly times and to their new classrooms, where the new teacher welcomes them and gets to know them before their arrival in September. Parents are expected to arrange these sessions for any children who are attending other schools.
Kidz Around the Clock club
At Hollyfield Nursery Pre-School Nursery, we offer a before and after school club called ‘Kidz Around the Clock.’ The club is highly successful and extremely popular. The children who attend Kidz Around the Clock enjoy a caring, safe and fun environment, full of activities and opportunities to play, learn and socialise. We welcome children from Birth to 8 years of age and who attend nursery, pre-school, Reception, year 1 and year 2.
