Information and Policies

Our Nursery Environment

Tiny Hearts Big Futures will be a vibrant, motivating environment with relationships at its heart, and it is divided into three main rooms:

  • Little Dreamers (0 - 2 year olds)
  • Twinkle Tots (2 - 3 year olds)
  • Shining stars (3 - 5 years olds)

Each of these rooms has equipment, resources and provision which will support your child's development and will give them the confidence to explore and learn in secure, safe and challenging indoor spaces. We plan our provision and activities meticulously around exciting themes and topics which will be meaningful to your children and link closely with their lives at home. We also have a well resourced outdoor area where your children will love playing, learning and exploring in all weathers.

We fully understand how children learn and will provide a healthy balance between child directed activities and adult led activities, meaning that children develop their independence, learn to make choices and take risks, as well as soaking up knowledge and developing crucial skills from their adult in the room. Ultimately, our inspiring, loving, enabling environment will allow us as professionals to nurture tiny hearts and shape their big futures.

30 HOURS FUNDED CHILDCARE

You will no doubt have heard that the Government offers 30 hours funded childcare to eligible families. We are pleased to support the scheme and are here to answer any questions you may have about the best way to fund childcare for your little one.

Is this for you?

Briefly, to be eligible, you, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) at least £120 a week (equal to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage). If you, or your partner, are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave, or you’re unable to work because you are disabled or have caring responsibilities, you could still be eligible.

You can’t receive 30 hours childcare if you, or your partner, expect to earn £100,000 or more.


How do I apply?

To access the funding you must check your eligibility on the government website GOV.UK and apply online.

If you’re eligible, you’ll receive a code – this will allow you to arrange your childcare place. Bring your code to us, along with your National Insurance number and your child’s date of birth. We will then check the code is authentic and allocate your child a funded childcare place, subject to availability.

If you have any further questions, please speak with Claire or Marie.
