Childcare Apprenticeship Early Years- Puddle Jumpers Nursery

Puddle Jumpers Nursery

They believe nursery is more than just childcare – it is the start of a child’s education, preparation for school and most importantly the foundation for a happy, healthy and successful life. Their aspirations are high; carefully planned learning opportunities inspire the children to become creative thinkers and problem solvers. They are inspired by their culturally diverse children, and seek to capture each child’s experiences and share them in order to broaden the horizons of all the children and encourage them to embrace and celebrate our differences.
