How will I know what my child has been up to during the day?
When you collect your child from nursery, you’ll be met by either their Key Person or one of your child’s key team. They will run you through all the activities and exciting developments of your child’s day. In addition to the daily updates, each enrolled family at N is invited to download the N app - our handy digital tool for allowing you to check out your child’s learning journey. We’ll also post a picture a day to your news feed so that your family can see what they’ve been up to!How many trips take place a week and where do they go?
The amount of trips we offer depends on a number of things such as weather and what the children have been learning, as the trips are designed to support and enhance their learning. In addition to this, we also take the children on trips as part of the N Passport - a ‘child’s bucket list’ of key cultural experiences that we feel they should all have had by the time they leave us to go to school. In the past, trips have included the theatre, fire stations, local farms, a literary festival to see Chelsea Clinton, and local shops.How do you keep the children safe on trips?
All children wear hi-vis jackets when on trips and all team members are prepped fully on risk assessments to ensure that our trips run smoothly and safely. Our older children hold hands and are partnered with an adult, while our younger children love the novelty of our three-seater buggies for their adventures.What is the ratio of adults to children on a trip?
We plan each trip on a case by case basis but always have a minimum of three team members on each trip, and meet all statutory ratios.How do you manage these trips with staff? Do you leave the nursery short if they go?
We always maintain ratios of team members at the nursery and enhance our numbers when off-site.
