Springburn Nursery Care

Springburn Childcare is divided into four rooms. Within the nursery, we have a baby room known and Bunnies, and two toddler rooms, Little Badgers, and Big Badgers. Also on site is Springburn Pre-School for children ages from three years old, until school age. 

Springburn believes in encouraging the children to have an understanding of the rural community in which they live. The children are encouraged to explore the natural spaces, investing the wildlife areas, learning about insect habitats, ladybird houses and keeping and special eye on the bird box which has a camera fitted. 

Healthy Eating
Springburn has a small fruit and vegetable patch which the children help tend. They learn about growing cycles, that plants need sunshine and rain to grow, this gives them a small insight to where food comes from and we can instil the importance of healthy eating too.

Music, stories, are and craft and fresh air combine to provide a typical day in the baby room. The babies have a light and air toom overlooking the pre-school garden and the countryside beyond.

Little and Big Badgers
Little and Big Badgers share a large open plan space which can be divided by a removable gate, dependant on the time of day and the ages of the children. Little Badgers are generally from 18 months to 2 years of age with Big Badgers up to three years old. The Badgers rooms are a hive of activity, whether the children are baking biscuits, getting messy with gloop or dancing to music, it’s all great fun! The emphasis is learning through play, this expands and encourages the children’s communication and social skills, they interact with one another and explore the world around them, both inside and outside to promote their physical development too. All of our resources are stored at child height to encourage the children to self-select their toys which really helps with confidence and early decision-making skills!
Get Started
Springburn Pre-School
At Springburn Pre-School, the focus is on preparing children for primary school. All learning is encouraged through play, with the children following a more structured daily routine. The children enjoy daily phonics games including singing songs and finding everyday items which begin with a certain sound, numeracy is easily incorporated to the daily routine by checking we have enough cutlery when laying tables for lunch or counting our friends at morning time. There are plenty of opportunities for mark making and turn taking and we help the children understand and talk about their feelings, we also help them understand rules and boundaries which helps the children grow in confidence and resilience.

Our Rooms

Wildlife & Gardening

The children within Pre-School have wildlife and gardening sessions, we encourage the children to have an understanding about the need to provide habitats for bees and other pollinators, hedgerows for the smaller birds and wildlife and how we can do our small part for where we live. We try to incorporate the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, watching our own birdbox which has a camera fitted, BBOWT (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Wildlife Trust) advice for encouraging natural wildlife areas, what to plant and when, along with planting to encourage lots of bees and butterflies too.

Growing Vegetables
The children in the Badgers rooms love to help with the vegetable patch, digging and watering are firm favourites! There is always great excitement when they are able to deliver some produce to our cook, who ensures the children enjoy the fruits of their labour in their next meal.
