Welcome to ABC Newsome Nursery
A warm welcome from our manager
We are delighted that you are considering joining our nursery.
We appreciate that choosing a nursery can be a daunting experience. Over the next few pages, we shall introduce you to our setting and hopefully give you a helpful insight as you decide whether we are an appropriate fit for you and your child.
As your child begins nursery, we want to make the transition from home to nursery as smooth as possible. We understand the needs of young children and we strive to ensure that each child feels happy, valued and safe whilst in our care.
We also appreciate the importance of quickly establishing strong parental partnerships to support the learning journey and offer reassurance that you’ve made the best choice for your child’s care and education.
The curriculum at ABC is tailored to suit each child, building on individual interests and learning step by step. Our inclusive, highly skilled and experienced team celebrates individual development and creativity.
We strongly believe that every child can thrive and that there should be no limits to learning opportunities.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the contents of our prospectus, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to assist you in any way possible.
Kind regards,
Clare Jackson
General Manager & Director

Role Play - an area which can be a kitchen, hospital, garage, office or even a space rocket, if that is what the children want it to be.
Small World: Whether in the doll’s house, train station, farm, busy road network and garage, our children can use and develop their imagination and communication skills.
Construction: Modelling with a variety of materials, using the necessary tools and equipment, glue, card, wood, plastic, etc. along with different types of building bricks. Children learn the concept of size, weight and density i.e., big, small, heavy, light, soft, hard, etc.

Library: A good selection of storybooks and reference books for infants to select and look at or share at story time. Children learn the concept of written communication, while sharing others life experiences
Information Technology: with access to a computer and laptop with age suitable software, children can develop all areas of their learning, using a mouse and keyboard.
Quiet Room: After all that activity, sometimes our infants just need to be able to relax and have a snooze.
