Early Years

Headstart Day Nursery & Pre-School provides a fun, loving and stimulating place for children to spend time in. It has 3 separate rooms – The Little Explorers Room for babies up to 24 months, The Little Adventurers Room for toddlers from 2 to 3 years and The Little Navigators Room which is our Pre-School Learning Centre for children aged 3 to 5 years. The Pre-School Learning Centre is a dedicated area where children are introduced to a more structured routine and activities, all designed to prepare them for school readiness. This is further enhanced by the Focus Room where the children are given the opportunity to engage in their individual areas of interest in more detail

Warm Welcome

We greet all the children as they arrive at the nursery and when they get to their rooms there will be a familiar, friendly face waiting to welcome them. Each child will have their own personal peg to hang their belongings on and a Key Person who will get to know them very well. We pride ourselves on providing a warm, loving and homely environment, and at the same time making sure that the rooms are inviting and exciting for the children to explore.

Staff

The nursery is run by a supernumerary Manager, Abbie Livermore, and her Deputy, Sarah Tilley. Each room has its own Supervisor who, together with her team of practitioners, ensures that the environment and opportunities for learning is always fun-filled and stimulating for your child. They will also keep you informed about your child's progress and development.

Outside

Our outdoor area is equally as inviting and exciting, with a dedicated garden especially for babies. We have created areas outside that reflects the areas we have indoors, and here the children are provided with ample opportunities to explore and learn in a "big" way. Being outside gives them more freedom and space to spread their exploration and learning further, encouraged and supported by our enthusiastic practitioners

We are very proud of our nursery and we invite you and your child to come and see what we have to offer. To arrange a visit please call us on 01526 832518 or email us at bourne@headstartnurseries.co.uk. Your visit will be a good introduction for you and your child to our facilities and our homely and nurturing environment.

  • The difference we have seen in Jackson has been amazing. He was already a very happy and excitable baby but now, in a caring and loving environment, he is coming home each day smiling and very tired from a full day of activities

  • A truly fantastic nursery with fantastic staff, you made the words "special needs" very acceptable and we will never forget that, thank you all xx

  • All the carers and teachers there are so friendly, they seem to genuinely love the children they look after and I know as he gets older they will continue to develop his skills right up until he is ready to go to school in a few years.
