Brockhill Barn Children's Private Day Nursery

The Nursery is accommodated in a converted barn building. All rooms have been designed and fitted out internally to our own high specification. The entire building is air conditioned and all the children’s rooms are light and airy with views of the surrounding farm land and countryside.

At Brockhill Barn, we follow the Birth to Three Matters Framework and Foundation Stage to ensure your child receives the best possible start to their learning in a stimulating and encouraging setting. Your child’s day will be carefully planned and all activities are prepared appropriate to each age group.

Birth to Three Matters is a framework which helps develop babies and toddlers. It recognizes that all 0-3 year olds have a need to develop and learn through interaction with people and exploration of the world around them.

The Birth to Three Matters framework recognises the contribution made to the development of very young children by the adults who care for them. The framework focuses on: child development; effective practice; examples of play activities to promote play/learning; guidance on planning/resourcing and meeting diverse needs. The four aspects are split into components which are:

The Foundation Stage is the first part of the National Curriculum, focusing on the distinct needs of children aged three to the end of the reception year (age five). The foundation stage is delivered in a range of settings including pre-school groups, early years centres, Nursery and reception classes. Early years settings in receipt of Government funding to deliver early years education are required to deliver the foundation stage curriculum through planned play activities for eligible three and four-year-olds.

Play is an integral part of the foundation stage curriculum. It recognises that through supported play children can explore, develop and use their curiosity and imagination to help them make sense of the world in a secure environment. They practice skills, build up ideas and concepts, think creatively and imaginatively and communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems.
