About us
New Woods Childcare offers a stimulating approach to early years development and learning for very young children. Within a safe, friendly and fun environment, children are supported by qualified, caring staff in developing a wide range of skills and interests. The children enjoy learning through play experiences in bright indoor and outdoor play areas with exciting outings planned regularly.
We are managed by the Early Years Alliance, one of the largest providers of childcare in England with over 50 years experience delivering childcare and practical, professional support to early years practitioners.
Our nursery plans its activities in accordance with the EYFS with a strong focus on exploratory, imaginative play and healthy eating. We recognise and understand the huge benefits that free flow play has on the positive development of young children. Every child in our care is supported by a key person who understands their individual needs and offers special care and support to them.
Our families have created some lovely cakes together to promote their child's fine motor skills and creative development.
Rigorous health & safety and safeguarding policies and procedures are in place to ensure that every child is protected and feels safe and happy with us. The setting is based within New Woods Children's Centre and has a strong link with the Centre and we are attached to Healdswood Infant and Nursery school which supports and allows for easy transitioning for those children starting school. We have had an inspection from the Food Standards Agency this March 2019 and we are happy to say we did well and remain with a score of 5.

Our Team
Our well qualified, committed and experienced team work hard to create a caring and learning environment in the nursery. We know that every child develops differently and at different times. Every child has a key person who understands their individual needs and interests. This helps us to ensure that every child feels involved, stimulated and happy in our care.
We follow rigorous staff recruitment, selection and supervision procedures to ensure that anyone joining our team undertakes relevant security checks including Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure, references and qualification checks. Parents are reassured knowing that child protection and safeguarding underpins every aspect of our practice and will continue to remain a priority for us.
Your 'key person'
Every child who joins the nursery receives support from an experienced member of the team. They are responsible for your child’s individual needs and known as the ‘key person’. The key person is your main point of contact however all nursery staff are happy to feedback on your child’s developmental progress on a daily basis or discuss any concerns with you. They will also keep records of your child’s progress and achievement, which are always available for you to see and contribute towards.
Your child’s key person will make time to find out from you about your child’s interests, likes, dislikes and special requirements. Please share any important or useful information when you register your child and throughout their time with us. This helps us to give your child the most appropriate care and learning to suit their developmental, emotional and physical needs. You can access and contribute your views to your child's progress and achievements in their records.

How many staff will be looking after my child?
All children will have a key person and depending on the age of your child the adult to child ratios differ-
Children aged 0-2 years the ratio is 1:3
Children aged 2-3 years the ratio is 1:4

How quickly can my child start?
We are keen that every child feels settled, happy and secure in our childcare. We want to make the big step from home into childcare a positive experience for everyone.
Once your child is offered a place, you and your child start a ‘settling in’ process that is based on your child’s needs.
We help your child settle comfortably by:
- Recognising that some children take longer to settle than others.
- Encouraging your child to develop a special relationship with their key person so they feel secure in our care.
- Introducing your child to our daily routine and the environment at different times of the day so they feel reassured and familiar with different sessions.
- Making you feel welcome to stay with your child at the beginning over a period of time and different times of the day. Over time you can gradually spend longer periods apart until your child is ready to start their daily session without you.
- Talking with you regularly about the best way to settle your child and listening to your queries or concerns. We want you to feel confident and relaxed when you leave your child in our care.
- Your child only officially starts with us when they complete their first short session happily without you.
