In Our Pride Our Joy nurseries we follow a 'child initiated' curriculum which enables children to follow their own interests and learn through quality play, whilst being supported by qualified and experienced staff. Staff are trained to observe the children and look for 'teachable moments' in which to intervene and support the child to their next steps.

We have full access to the outdoor areas throughout the sessions and in all weathers, so children can choose their preferred area to learn within a well-thought-out, enabling environment.

Parents are kept informed of their child's progress through secure online accounts which they can read, enjoy and add to so that they can play a part in the 'learning journey' their child travels along whilst with us.

At Garden Village our wrap around care starts at 7:30 am and finishes at 6.00 pm.

We have qualified members of staff who provide planned activities for your children to join in with and have the exciting addition of a forest to play games in. Our on-site catering team provide a selection of healthy breakfast choices and an afternoon snack to ensure you can go to work knowing your child/children are well looked after.

"Our Pride Our Joy at Garden Village Academy is a lovely nursery. My daughter has learnt so much in the time she has been there and is always happy when attending. It is a safe, fun and nurturing environment where she feels comfortable and supported. The staff do a wonderful job of keeping me updated on her activities and regularly send photos of her day, which I really appreciate. I feel reassured knowing she is well cared for and enjoying her time at nursery."

"If I could recommend any nursery it would be Our Pride Our Joy – Garden Village. This nursery goes absolutely above and beyond for all the children. There is always something so exciting for them to do, and as a parent I feel in the loop with everything my child does and his education and I absolutely love that every milestone, big or small, is celebrated every time. The staff are the kindest, most supportive team and always have the children's best interests at heart. My son was very shy when starting and very upset away from home, but since starting here his confidence has blossomed, and we have no more tears. He is so excited about beginning the day, which is beyond amazing! I highly recommend this nursery and I can not wait for my youngest to join."

"We have been so happy with the nursery and couldn't recommend it enough. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, caring, and genuinely invested in my child's development and happiness. It's clear how much effort goes into the environment for the children. My daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting, and it's lovely to see how excited she is to attend each day. She has developed so many new skills during her time here, both socially and emotionally. She has built lovely relationships with staff and other children, and her confidence has grown tremendously. The activities are engaging, age appropriate and really support learning through play. Communication with parents is always clear and reassuring, which gives us real peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to Miss Collins and the whole team for the care, patience, and dedication they show every day."
