Welcome

We are pleased to announce that Little Seedlings Nursery is now open. (35 Sunderland Road, Forest Hill)

We have availability for new children under 5. We offer part time and full times places.

• Unfortunately, the 2 year old funded places for April-August have now been taken.
• We aim to create a relaxed, friendly environment where children can explore at their own pace, with an emphasis on outdoor activities.
• Due to the setting’s layout, younger and older children mix together, learn from each other and interact, but they will also have their age appropriate group activities to move them forward in all areas
• We have a dedicated chef who prepares meals from scratch in the well equipped kitchen (4 meals a day: breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack)
• The menu is the same as at Seedlings Day Nursery (egg and nut free/ catering for allergies and dietary needs)
• Our two sites will collaborate on projects, events and children will be able to visit each other as an outing, borrow resources, play together etc

We are currently looking for new team members to join our fun and vibrant nursery.

• Level 2 or 3 qualified or willing to train to reach that level
• Experience is essential
• Key person role
• Using educational app
• Good team player
• Please contact us via email on seedlings@seedlingsdaynursery.com

Birthday celebrations in a healthier way 17th January 2022

In line with our aim to further reduce sugary foods, we kindly ask parents not to bring in birthday cakes from now on. Of course, we are not stopping you from having cake at home to celebrate. However, we feel that with a few changes, we can cut out around 20 extra treats for each child over the course of the year.

Different ways of celebrating:

• Singing with the group as before,
• Birthday boy/girl will be sitting on a special chair, wearing a birthday hat, can bring in dressing up clothes as well
• We’ll have candles on playdough base
• Parents are welcome to provide healthy snacks for children to give out to their friends in Cabin and Preschool groups as at that age they understand a bit more about sharing and giving
• Healthy, fresh, uncut fruit – we will prepare the fruits on a platter
  • Grapes, satsumas, oranges, apples, pears, melon, plum, peach, nectarine, mango, pineapple, papaya, – no berries or nuts, please
• No dried fruits as they are high in sugar – we use them as part of pudding for main meal not for snack
