Child Care at our Day Nursery
Seton Care is committed to delivering a service that meets an individuals specific needs and not to providing a ‘one size fits all’ service.
Little Reivers Childcare Nursery
We take pride in offering a home from home environment and realise that starting at a nursery is a big step for both parents and child. For this reason we strongly suggest that you have a personal viewing of the nursery prior to any decision about placing your child with us. No appointment is necessary to view the nursery but if you do contact us first we can ensure that one of the managers is available to see you personally.
Premises and Facilities
The nursery is located in Duns, Berwickshire and is laid out over 2 floors. The main door has a locked door entry system which ensures no one is admitted to the building unless they are authorised to do so by a member of staff.
The ground floor has an entrance hall, play area for children under two years of age, a separate room (with viewing window) which is used as a sleep area, a kitchen and two toilets one of which houses a changing area.
The first floor has a large room used by the children aged 2 – 5 years and which can be divided for after school care, a room which houses computers for use of children and parents, a toy library, our office and two toilets.
We have a secure walled garden solely for our use which is accessed by a side gate. There is ample parking at the front of the building for parents picking up and dropping off and a private car park which staff are able to use.
The service
The nursery is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm and is registered for children from birth to 5 years as well as an after school service for children up to the age of 12 years.
The maximum number of children that we can take on any one day is 30. Meaning that your child, whatever their age, will be getting the personal attention and care that you would expect.
As we are located close to the primary school in Duns we also provide a pick up and drop of service for children. This can be particularly useful for parents whose work hours do not fit exactly with school times.
The nursery is open for 50 weeks of the year closing for only 2 weeks for Christmas holidays.
Parent – Nursery Partnership
We recognise the expertise of parents in the early development of their children and are committed to a two way exchange of information, ideas and knowledge. We believe this approach to be fundamental to the experience of nursery being as enjoyable and easy as possible.
We would always stress that parents are welcome in the nursery at anytime.
Staff
The day to day running of the nursery is the responsibility of two Nursery Managers who each work part of the week as Manager and the rest of the week as Nursery Nurses.
In addition to the managers there is a team of trained and qualified Nursery Nurses and Nursery Assistants to ensure that the children receive the best care possible.
The staff all work towards carefully planned timetables which are geared towards the appropriate age and stage of the children. Activities are monitored and continually evaluated, with each child being treated as an individual.
