We continue our ‘home from home’ ethos across our Treeton site and have a family orientated ethos where we cater for the needs of each child individually, supporting each child to reach their full potential during their time with us. Our staff team all receive mandatory training in line with government guidance including food hygiene, safeguarding and paediatric first aid as well as accessing further focused training provided by Rotherham early years sector and other training providers. At Dream Catchers your child will be based in a room specific to their age, stage and individual needs. Our ‘Explorers’ room is a warm and welcoming environment where babies can gain confidence and thrive. This room caters for children from birth upto when they are walking and ready for their next step. Our ‘Mini Discoverers’ room is the next step for older babies who are confidently walking and ready to explore on a larger basis. This room continues to offer the cosy and homely environment that younger children require whilst also challenging them to reach their full potential. Our ‘Discoverers’ room is for our toddlers aged up to around 30 months old. This room offers lots of physical opportunities to stimulate the brain and support it in making further connections that they will come to need further in life. Our ‘Inventors’ room is for our preschool children up to when children leave us ready to start their school journey. This room focuses on preparing the children for their next step with a flexible routine throughout each day. All rooms are extremely well equipped and children will have access to a wide range of resources and activities relating to their current interests and developmental levels. At Dream Catchers each child will be allocated a key worker prior to starting with us. The role of the Key worker is to ensure that every child has the best start to their educational journey. They will work closely with each individual child and their families to ensure the best outcomes. At Dream Catchers Nurseries we passionately believe that nurturing children’s personal, social and emotional wellbeing is paramount in ensuring children thrive. We enjoy a language rich environment where children can flourish. All our observations, photographic evidence and tracking is stored on an electronic data system called learning journeys. Each parent will be given access to the online app where they will be able to track their child’s progress as well as seeing ‘wow moments’ of their child’s journey in our setting. Learning Journeys allows us to ensure that children’s progress is monitored to the highest standard. Parents/carers are also invited to attend regular review meetings with their Key worker to ensure that each child’s achievements are recognised and their progress can be discussed.
