What's it like for a child at Caterpillars Nursery?

We endeavour to build a homely and welcoming atmosphere within our setting and strive to ensure the environment in which your child is placed is meeting their individual needs at all times.


To facilitate this each child’s home routines and requirements will be discussed with parents prior to admission and any particular conditions can be met before the child is placed in our care.

There is a minimum ratio of one member of staff to eight children aged three and over, one to four for two year olds and one to three for babies under two as required by Ofsted. Once your child has settled into nursery they will be allocated a key-person who is responsible for monitoring their development.


Your child’s progress and development is recorded electronically using Tapestry. Parents can view their child’s observations online at any time. For children aged under two, information is recorded in their daily diary kept by your child’s key-person. You are invited to discuss your child’s development at any time.

Nutritious cooked meals are provided to all children who attend. An additional fee may apply if you access the funded childcare. Fresh filtered water is available during both morning and afternoon sessions for all children to access independently. A light tea is provided for those children who attend the longer afternoon sessions. 

We have a secure enclosed outdoor play area, offering an all-weather canopied area, with a variety of play equipment for all ages.

The outdoors is a valuable tool for development and outdoor play is encouraged during each session. 

"I trust every member of staff and all the staff clearly take pride in what they do. The manager, Claire, is dedicated to her business and strives for the best for all of her staff and the children that attend the nursery.

Communication is great and I have 100% confidence in the staff and the nursery to look after and give my daughter the best start in her learning and development journey.  Highly recommended!"

Our Outdoor learning environment


We understand the importance of the outdoors during early childhood development

Children are naturally drawn to playing outside and there are numerous benefits of outdoor exploratory play which have a real positive impact on children’s lives. We provide them with the chance to connect with the natural world and have first hand experiences of life and growth. There are endless opportunities for creativity and imagination not to mention improved fitness, developed muscle strength and coordination.
