Thank you for expressing
an interest in Clarence House Day Nursery.
We are very aware of how difficult it is to find the right nursery
setting on which to leave your child. We hope this brief introduction
to Clarence House Day Nursery will help give you some idea of
the type of service we aim to deliver.

The Nursery is situated at 19 The
Causeway, Godmanchester.
Click here for how to find us. The charming building,
dating back 300 years, overlooks the tranquil setting of the
River Ouse. There is short term parking right outside the door.
The original building, which now houses our baby unit dates
back to the 17th century. The extension which was completely
renovated in 2003 contains the kitchen, classroom and Tweenies
room.
The nursery is registered for 42 children with 24 children up
to two years old.
Our aim is to provide
professional care for children from 12 weeks to 5 years of age,
in a relaxed and happy atmosphere that is safe and secure. In
this supportive environment your child will be able to learn
through play and, where appropriate, follow a curriculum that
will help them develop to their full potential.

The nursery building
is divided into several distinct areas for Babies, Tweenies
and Pre-school children.
The Baby area located upstairs comprises a sleep room, a feeding
room, two activity rooms and a changing room/toilet. We can
accommodate up to 12 babies. Your child’s established
routines will be followed and liquidised lunches are available.
We provide milk once your baby is old enough but we ask you
to provide formula milk already made up. We ask parents to bring
in disposable nappies for their child. A daily record of the
progress of all children under 3 is kept and given to parents/carers
at the end of the day. Nursery life can be tiring for young
children so there is a supervised rest time for all children
after lunch.When your child starts walking we move him/her down
to the Tweenies Area. This consists of an activity room, sleep
room and dining/messy play room. At this stage play starts to
become more structured and learning goals are introduced.
For children over 2 years old we operate a dedicated Pre-school.
The children are accommodated in a classroom like environment
and follow the Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Each age group is allocated specific areas with age appropriate
toys and equipment. This enables us to provide free choice and
age specific activities whilst meeting the requirements of the
Foundation Stage of education.
We are registered for the Nursery Education Grant Scheme and
subject to inspection by OFSTED.
All children will be able to enjoy a full range of outdoor activities
in our fully enclosed and secure play area.
The nursery has detailed policies on Health & Safety, Equal
Opportunities, Behaviour, Parental Involvement etc. A folder
containing these documents is kept in the office for parents
to read. Please ask the Nursery Manager if you would like to
read these. |
