Please reach out to your preferred nursery if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We recommend that you come to visit your preferred nursery to see the setting before applying. You can book a show round by simply calling or emailing your preferred setting.
On your show round, you can discuss with the manager the enrollment process.
Yes! To ensure that your child has a smooth transition into nursery, we offer 2 free 2 hour settling in sessions.
Your child will be supported by a dedicated key person who takes time to build a close and caring relationship with them. Based in your child’s room, their key person gently observes and records your child’s learning and development on our EYLog app, linking these moments to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), so you can share in their progress every step of the way.
Absolutely. We are able to accommodate a variety of dietary requirements. We recommend speaking with the manager at your chosen setting to discuss the details.
Yes, you can choose to provide your child with food from home and opt out of using our nursery meals. Packed lunches should follow recognised healthy eating and nutrition guidelines to support children’s well-being. For safety and health reasons, sweets, chocolate, high-sugar foods, nuts, and products containing nuts are not allowed.
We follow each child’s home routine when they start nursery to help make the transition as smooth as possible. By working in partnership with families, we ensure consistent and familiar care.
We believe outdoor play is essential to children’s learning and development, which is why we enjoy spending time outside in all weathers. All children have regular access to our outdoor areas throughout the day.
Yes, all staff are required to have a DBS check completed before they start at Hazles Farm Childcare. We then carry out DBS checks every 6 months.
We are committed to ensuring all staff are trained in Paediatric First Aid to provide the highest standard of care for your child.
Yes. We provide funded places for eligible children, including 2-year-old funding (24U / Talking 2s), the universal 15 hours, and the extended 30 hours for working families.
We work closely with local schools and childcare providers to ensure every child experiences a smooth, confident transition from nursery to school.
Funding codes take effect from the term after they are applied for, so if a deadline is missed, the funded hours will start the following term.
If your child is 3 or older, they’re still entitled to 15 hours of funding, as this is available to all children regardless of whether parents are working. HMRC will remind you when it’s time to reconfirm your working families code to keep your funding in place.
To make sure your child receives their funded hours each term, it’s important for parents to have a valid code ready at the start of the term.
