At Forest Friends Day Nursery, our mission is to provide a friendly, caring and secure environment where your child’s happiness and well-being is paramount; with a dedicated team of Early Years Professionals committed to delivering the highest quality childcare and education for children from 3 months to 5 years.
Our Core Values:
• To create a stimulating environment to inspire the development of happy, healthy and educated children.
• To provide nourishing, wholesome and delicious home-cooked meals, made from fresh ingredients to promote healthy eating.
• To work in partnership with you at every stage of your child’s progression.
• To provide a setting that promotes equality and the values of diversity.
• Empowering children to form secure relationships and develop caring friendships.
• We encourage independence at all ages to build confidence and self-reliance in preparation for school.
Our staff team are a dedicated bunch of people who take a lot of pride in their work, ensuring your child’s day is filled with fun, educational activity and learning. Every child has a named member of staff known as a ‘key person’, who will have more contact with your child than any other staff member at the nursery. The key person will show a special interest in your child through personal interaction day to day, and is likely to be the person you will speak with if you need to discuss any aspect of your child’s care.

🪥🦷 Oral Health Day 😁At Forest Friends we do lots of fun activities to help promote good oral hygiene and help children understand why looking after their teeth is so important.Did you know that as soon as your baby gets their first milk tooth you can take them to the dentist? Early visits help familiarise children with what to expect and make the environment feel normal and comfortable rather than something to worry about.Because dental check-ups usually happen every 6 months, we support children in between visits by providing resources and activities here at nursery that help make trips to the dentist a positive experience.Throughout the day the children have been exploring:🦷 Tooth brushing demonstrations📚 Stories and discussions about healthy teeth🎨 Creative activities about foods that help keep our teeth strong😁 Practising big “toothy smiles” and learning why brushing twice a day is importantBuilding healthy habits early helps children grow up feeling confident about taking care of their teeth.Follow the link below to find a local dentist. www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-dentist/#oralhealthday #teeth #oralhygiene #FFDN #findadentist

Last week, to celebrate World Book Day, we were delighted to welcome one of our parents, who is also a talented author. She kindly visited our Owls and shared a very special experience with the children by reading her own children’s book, Sleepy Guppy Says Bedtime Must Wait.The children were captivated as they listened to the story being brought to life. To make the session even more engaging and memorable, she used a range of wonderful props that helped the characters and scenes from the book feel real and exciting. The Owls thoroughly enjoyed interacting with the props and following along with the story.It was a great opportunity for the children to meet a real author, experience storytelling in a creative way, and celebrate the joy of reading together. A big thank you to our visiting author for making our World Book Day celebrations so special. 📚✨#Worldbookday #author #FFDN #sleepyguppy
