Welcome to Clowns

At Clowns we have play at the very heart of our ethos. Our Nurseries have been thoughtfully designed to allow children the opportunity to enjoy learning. We designed our innovative and exciting curriculum to give the children the widest range of opportunities. The success of our approach can be measured in the children's enjoyment and achievement.

Clowns Nursery has been established since 1990; and have over 30 years experience in delivering childcare in this area.

Our ethos has always been to 
‘provide quality care and education for each unique child  in a safe,friendly and encouraging environment’

 

Here at Clowns Nursery, we want your children to enjoy being children - to have fun, laugh and enjoy play. This is combined with professional responsibility to ensure we enhance that play with outstanding environments, carefully selected resources and trained dedicated staff.

​

We see children as curious individuals with the skills and potential to develop and learn from their environment and the relationships they build with others. Children are  independent and intelligent individuals who should be given every opportunity to reach their potential.

Interactions Matter Most

 

High quality interactions are at the heart of early years teaching.

 

Our staff are trained to tune into children’s ideas, modelling language, extending thinking and developing learning techniques.

Continuous Provision

 

This encourages children to explore their own interests, practice skills, and consolidate learning at their own pace, with adult support focusing on observation and purposeful interaction rather than direct instruction.

Key aspects include setting up enticing, accessible areas with open ended resources that support learning across all areas of development.

Sustainability

​​

Here at Clowns we pride ourselves on our sustainability practices.

 

Teaching young children to care for the planet through hands-on nature experiences, reducing waste, conserving energy, and making

eco-friendly choices, fostering a lifelong love for nature and responsible citizenship.

​

We also put this into our day-to-day routines and actions, such as sustainable activities, nappy waste reduction, natural based cleaning products where applicable, growing our own produce and composting our waste.

Parent Partnership

 

Working in partnership with parents involves establishing a two-way dialogue through regular communication, valuing parent input, and creating opportunities for their involvement to enhance the child’s learning journey.

Here at Clowns we organise family days, parent stay and plays and grandparent sessions. This allows the children to feel more connected and content within Nursery life and also gives family members a better understanding of what we do and who we are.
