Learning Environments

The approach to care and learning at Atelier Nursery is quite simply magical! Sometimes we wonder how to define what to the untrained eye must look a fine line between chaos and cosmos! However, to us as a team of educators and artists, there is simply no other way to work. We would like to invite you, to share the Pedagogy, Provocation and Practice at Atelier Nursery that together makes for a strong, powerful and enabling environment.There is a seamless flow of learning opportunities presented to children, as staff seek to enhance the basic provision, to inspire and engage the children’s individual interests.

We have the following rooms…

  • Baby Nest

  • The Explorers

  • The Discovery Room

  • The Piazza

  • The Studio

  • The Garden

 
 
 
 

Session Structure

At Atelier Nursery we strive to offer a flexible childcare service, you can choose to access the nursery for either half or full day sessions across the week.  Our sessions run from 8 am until 6 pm for a full day or from 8 am - 12.30 pm for a morning session and 1.30 - 6 pm for an afternoon session.  You also have the option of purchasing a lunch session to extend your half day by a further hour.

All nappies, formula milk, wipes, cotton wool and cream need to be provided by parents/carers.  These are not included in the session fees.

The wellbeing of children is our highest priority and therefore we do have a policy that a minimum of three sessions per week must be booked, this allows the child to develop a genuine sense of belonging at the nursery, supports their confidence and makes the nursery experience much more enjoyable.

Mealtimes – Café (snack am & pm), lunch and light tea

Full day – all meals included.

Morning session – Café included.

Afternoon session – Light tea included.

Holidays and Sickness
