accommodates children aged 0-5 years. Located in a residential area,
close to local primary schools, bus routes and walking distance from
Bognor town centre. We have ample parking for your convenience to
access our facilities.
The setting is divided into three well equipped areas, under 2’s, 2-3’s and

suited to their age and stage of development.

stimulating and inclusive environment for all children to enjoy, play and
learn.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to offer an safe and happy environment where children feel
welcome, and with a high staff/child ratio each child will be given plenty of
individual care and attention.
All practitioners in the setting set an example by being a good role model,
we encourage the children in our care to respect each other, and adults in
the setting
The nursery offers a open door policy, we aim to support families who

families to get additional help if needed

PREVENT DUTY
All practitioners, volunteers and students at ABC DAY NURSERY aim to
actively promote fundamental British values, equality and diversity and set
standards for learning and developing children’s personal, social and
emotional development and their understanding of the world. We observe
and remain alert to changes in Childs behaviour and aim to work effectively
with parent/carers. If concerns arise, we have responsibility to make a
referral to the Local safeguarding children board (LSCB)
The use of i-pads in our setting are used occasionally and are not linked to
the internet, these are solely used to support our curriculum, the children
can only access interactive games and activities, downloaded by staff
members.
SESSION BOOKING
We suggest that parents consider booking a minimum of 2 sessions per
week, to help your child settle as quickly as possible, build attachments and
gain the most from their time at nursery. However, we understand this is
not always possible due to financial restraints and availability of places
within the setting.
On confirmation of spaces, we will arrange visits for you and your child, to
come into the nursery before starting, to meet the practitioners who will be
caring for your child.

Each child in the setting is assigned a key worker. The key worker must
ensure that every child’s learning and care is tailored to meet their
individual needs.

irrespective of their cultural background. Children will be given a friendly
warm welcome into each room with a variety of stimulating activities to
