Employer Description:
About Us Goulton Grange Day Nursery Ltd is run by a team that’s passionate about quality childcare. It’s led by Nursery Director, Emily Gilliland who has worked in the nursery since its opening in 2004. Being one of the eldest of 10 children, she has been around children for most of her life! The nursery is set within a converted, purpose-built building, full of character and charm. We are a close-knit nursery with a family feel, small in size and totally committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment for your children. We follow the EYFS Birth to Five curriculum to help your child along their learning journey. All our staff are DBS checked and there is CCTV throughout the setting, to ensure the protection of everyone on the premises. We aim to provide a loving and caring family environment within a stimulating nursery curriculum. We cater for ages 0 – 5 in our nursery and can offer after school care if required. Our goal is to help your child develop an appetite for life and an energetic curiosity for knowledge. As a smaller nursery, compared with some of the larger urban nurseries, we feel a stronger, more personal bond is formed with the children and parents. We pride ourselves on our 'partnership with parents' philosophy and believe that communication with parents is paramount. You are welcome to visit your child at any time and we are always available to answer any questions or discuss your child's development.
