Horizon Childcare - Nursery in Exeter Welcome to Horizon Childcare. Our aim is to provide outstanding education and care to all our children through a child-centered approach. We aim to support families and link with other professionals to enable the children in our care to receive the best start.
Unique Child At Horizon Childcare we understand and celebrate that every child is different. Each child will be allocated a key person who will strive to get to know them and will continue to form secure attachments during their time at nursery. Each individual child’s needs are catered for by a highly qualified staff team who aim to provide an inclusive and nurturing atmosphere. We encourage children of all ages to become independent and inquisitive learners through giving them the confidence to have a go, explore and do things for themselves. The practitioners supervise the children at all times to guide them in their actions and to keep them safe.
Positive Relationships Each child is offered multiple visits to the nursery help them to feel comfortable before they start. They will also be assigned a key person (based on who they bond with best) who will be their main caregiver and will monitor their planning, observations and assessments throughout nursery. All practitioners respond sensitively to children’s needs and set clear and consistent boundaries. Having a small staff team is a huge strength as every child quickly gets to know all the practitioners which helps them to feel comfortable in their surroundings.
Enabling Environments Our nursery has a homely atmosphere and is small in size, currently only taking 24 children. The intimacy of the setting allows families to settle in quickly. We have a range of stimulating resources in two main rooms which are organized appropriately for different age groups. Off from our biggest room there is an attached, secure outdoor space to enable children to learn and play in whichever environment they feel most comfortable in. Throughout the day we follow a detailed routine to provide a wealth of exciting, educational activities to facilitate children’s learning through play.
Learning and Development Practitioners use their extensive knowledge and experience to follow children’s interests to plan activities which enable children to learn while they play. We encourage children to use their own ideas and test boundaries through play. We also do lots of messy play here so you don’t have to at home! We aim to provide children with appropriate challenge to create happy, critical thinkers and independent young people.
