Childcare

We provide a warm, welcoming environment where your children can develop and grow with support and care from our passionate, dedicated and committed team.

Equality and Diversity

Everyone is always welcome

We welcome ALL children and their families at Centre 56 and children enjoy learning about our own and other people's cultures and beliefs. We teach children to respect all cultures, religions, faiths and beliefs.

Nutrition

Food and snacks

Children are provided with a healthy and balanced range of meals and snacks. The children also grow their own vegetables in our allotment area, to learn about where food comes from and to encourage healthy choices. All dietary, religious and cultural requirements will be respected.

The nursery adheres to Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory guidance. We provide a range of activities that support your child to develop across all seven areas of learning.

Equality and Diversity

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

We strongly believe that all children deserve and have the right to equality of opportunities, regardless of any additional needs and or disabilities. We will endeavour to make any necessary changes or adaptions that are reasonable and practical, to ensure that all children are welcome at Centre 56.
