Age Groups
All children are cared for in separate groups according to age and corresponding to the Children’s Act 2006, Every Child Matters, the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and Ofsted guidelines.
These are generally in three age groups -
0 - 2 years
2 - 3 years
3 - 5 years
but may vary slightly at individual settings.
Each group has a set amount of space available and there are often other shared areas such as ball pools, soft play rooms or sensory rooms which all children have access to at various times throughout the day. We adhere to staff to child ratios in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
All equipment and resources, are appropriate to childrens’ developmental needs and are regularly checked and monitored by the manager risk assessing the nursery regularly.

Starting Nursery All children are offered a home visit before joining us at Bambinos. This gives us an insight into your child’s existing daily patterns and routines, considering likes and preferences. Although children change very quickly, and routines alter as a child’s needs change and develop, it can be useful for parents or carers to have a home visit to discuss details about your child’s requirements and your expectations of the nursery environment. Settling-in sessions prior to the actual start date at nursery can be arranged to suit each individual. These are beneficial to both the child and the parent/carer. We suggest that you drop your child at nursery, for an hour or two for a couple of times before he or she is due to start, introducing the child to the new surroundings and the staff. Things to Bring to Nursery Parents will need to provide the following items but we ask that no carrier bags are brought into the nursery please:
