With guilt being the default setting for many parents, it's natural to feel bad about leaving
your child in the hands of someone else while you go off to work. But a nursery is so much
more than a convenient childcare resource. Here we outline just a few of the many benefits
your child will reap during their time at Amelia House Nursery.
1. Social Skills
Interaction with other children teaches important social skills such as sharing, taking turns, patience, helping others and caring for younger or less able peers.
2. Self-confidence
Being at a good nursery builds up a child’s positive self-image by offering such a wide variety of activities that every child finds something they are good at as well as offering rewards for achievement
3. Education and development
As an Ofsted registered nursery, Amelia House offers children a specific early years curriculum known as the Early Years Foundation Stage. Providing this curriculum offers children a broad range of learning and development that builds the right foundations for good future progress through school – and life!
4. Risk Taking
Many parents at home are nervous about letting their children experience risky play, but it is a major part of learning about and assessing danger. At Amelia House our experienced educators know exactly what risk is challenging without being dangerous.
5. Experiencing Diversity
Mixing with children from other cultures, backgrounds and religions, really offers children rich and invaluable experiences – Divali, Sukkot, Chinese New Year, Ramadan are just some of the festivals and celebrations children will share with their friends here at Amelia House.
6. Taking instruction
As children progress through the age groups they spend less time doing as they please and more time doing activities planned by an adult. This is great preparation for the formality of school.
7. Independence
Children who have attended nursery are often more adept at basic abilities such as getting dressed by themselves, putting on their own coats and shoes etc. Again – perfect preparation for school.
8. Making Choices
Children at nursery exercise their right to make choices and decisions and are encouraged to choose their own path rather than blindly following their peers. Experiencing these small and safe choices is a great foundation for making those much bigger and important choices in later life.
9. Eating well
Amelia House Nursery offers a healthy and diverse variety of freshly prepared meals, encouraging children to try new and different foods. Seeing and sitting with other children to eat, can also help to prevent fussy eating habits.
10. Parent Support
Nursery can be a valuable support for parents too. This is an opportunity to meet other local parents with children of a similar age. Plus trained and experienced nursery staff can be a great source of information and advice.
