Volunteers

Nursery is very happy to offer placements to volunteers who for a variety of reasons wish to gain knowledge and experience of nursery life. Volunteers usually come from the local community, universities, Early Years service etc.

After an initial meeting / interview all relevant checks are made before a placement is offered along with an enhanced C.R.B. After commencement of the placement the Head/Deputy head will be regularly updated on the volunteer's progress from their named 'supervisor'. There is a probation period of three months, but if the Head/deputy has any concerns the placement will be ceased.

Community Involvement

It is our goal to build links within the community this will include involvement with local schools and childcare settings allowing us to share resources, visiting each other, collaborating on ideas and information. This will allow our pre-school children (3 - 5 years) to familiarise themselves with the schools, their organisation and expectations thus easing their transition.

We encourage visits from such people as the fire brigade, police service, road safety departments and other outside agencies who can provide rich experiences for the children.
