Welcome By Kathy

I am delighted to welcome you to Bertie’s NurserySchool.

I am very proud to be Head of Bertie’s Nursery School where we have created an exceptional, homely environment located in the idyllic and safe countryside within The Downs Preparatory School Estate.

Here at Bertie’s we aim to deliver a rich and broad curriculum following the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum with a strong focus on traditional British values, kindness and the belief in the importance of good manners. At the heart of our philosophy is the commitment to nurture each child’s development in a warm and invigorating atmosphere, encouraging open minds and resilience.

We look forward to seeing you and your children at the beginning and end of each day. We will ensure high levels of communication through the Connect Childcare software system, email and telephone. My staff and I look forward to meeting you at our parents’ evenings and giving you further information in our Friday newsletters. I believe it is vital that we all communicate and work together so that we can all support your child’s individual needs. I want Bertie’s to be a place your child loves and a place to learn through laughter.

Best wishes

Kathy

We are delighted of your interest; a warm welcome.

Welcome to Bertie’s

Open from 7:30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, throughout the year, Bertie’s is an inspiring, caring day Nursery which provides a wealth of opportunities and acres of green space for children aged from 6 months to school age.

Our setting is unique; Bertie’s is situated in the beautiful, rural parkland of the former Tyntesfield Estate, in the grounds of The Downs Preparatory School, with gardens, forests and carefully designed all-weather outdoor play spaces, our excellent outdoor facilities mean there is always something new to discover, explore, create and learn.

Indoors, our four nursery rooms are thoughtfully designed to encourage your child’s, curiosity, creativity, independence and natural passion for learning at each stage of their development. At the heart of the Bertie’s ethos is our commitment to the development of each individual child in a warm and stimulating environment. We encourage individuality, curiosity and kindness, we want our children to ‘learn through laughter’ to be happy, confident and resilient.

We are in the enviable position of having a highly qualified staff team, including qualified teachers and level 6 practitioners. We have a high staff to children ratio which means we are able to offer a truly child-centred learning environment.  

Play is at the heart of everything we do. Through purposeful play children develop the social, emotional and physical skills they need to thrive, they can create adventures, challenge themselves and empathise with others. Our team of experienced staff guide each child’s development responding to their individual needs and interests.

A key person system enables staff to build excellent relationships with their key children and their families resulting in children feeling happy and secure and parents feeling confident and reassured. In order to give you a further insight into your child’s experience at nursery, we use an online system called Parent Zone, where you will be able to see photos and observations of your child’s learning and development.  

Our close links with The Downs Preparatory School enables us to take advantage of their full range of facilities, including the Sports Hall, Drama and Dance studios, Theatre, Treehouse and Pet’s Corner within the beautiful school grounds, as well as access to specialist teaching staff.  

We appreciate what an enormous decision it is to send your child to nursery and we never underestimate the trust you place in us to look after your children. We feel privileged to work with young, enthusiastic learners and want to work with you to make their time with us as exciting and productive as possible.  Childhood is special; when you enter Bertie’s you will see the wonderful environment in which your child can grow and develop.

Please come and visit us. We look forward to meeting you.

Vision
and Aims

At Bertie’s we are committed to offering the best possible care for young children. We believe that a child’s first experience at nursery is crucial for laying the foundation from which they build their future learning.

To achieve this we constantly endeavour to provide a happy, warm atmosphere in which young children feel fully supported. We seek to provide an appealing setting that stimulates the interests of all the children, a setting that promotes fun and healthy living. We further wish for the young children to gently grow resilience, perseverance and courage. Additionally we want the children to become respectful, well-mannered and graceful individuals.      

Our Aims

• To nurture happy, confident children that are courteous, kind and respectful

• To embrace the outdoors; fresh air, nature and

• To equip each child with the personal skills required to learn effectively in the future. These skills will include the ability to focus, to listen and to partake. Furthermore the ability to have a go, without giving up, will be encouraged.    

• To provide a broad, diverse range of experiences that promote curiosity and interest in each child

• To provide opportunities, free flow learning activities, for children to learn spontaneously

• To use effectively modern observation methods to assist in the development of each child

Children Learn what they Live

By Dorothy Law Nolte
If a child lives with encouragement
He learns with confidence
If a child lives with praise
He learns to appreciate
If a child lives with fairness
He learns justice
If he lives with approval
He learns to like himself
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
He learns to find love in the world

Testimonials

“My husband and I cannot recommend Bertie’s highly enough. The facilities are wonderful, most of all the fabulous garden and surrounding woodland, which allows for some great adventures for the boys. But more than this is the team - it’s an infectious place of laughter, learning and love. We are always safe in the knowledge that our children are nurtured and cared for, while being inspired to learn”

Testimonials

Our son started at Bertie’s, when he was 1 year old. He quickly settled into Mini Movers, where the staff were kind, warm and welcoming. His learning diary is always really detailed and clearly show the children variety of exciting and topical activities that he has completed. Online, we can view observations of him learning and completing key skills, it's is an excellent interactive piece of software. The outside play environment is brilliant, the children are always  out and about happily interacting with the staff, who gently challenge the children to explore this area. Forest School is already a firm favourite with him, especially 'the mallows' and hot chocolate with Caterpillar. After all their busy work it is reassuring that the children have a hearty, home cooked lunch and snack. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff at Berties, a welcome smile is  shared by all. J is thriving in their care- he loves being part of the Bertie’s family.

Testimonials

"From the wonderfully warm welcome on arrival, to the detailed, information packed report at every collection time, Bertie’s Nursery School and its tip top team of first class staff is truly outstanding in every way.  Our granddaughter, currently in Mini Movers, is developing at a rapid rate, both socially and academically, surrounded by an abundance of resources, in a completely safe environment and happily immersed in an impressive programme, which, on a daily basis, supports all her individual needs.  A combination of happy, well cared for children, their ever devoted families and a dedicated and tireless staff combine to produce an extraordinarily vibrant community, which is really second to none, in which every child can thrive and successfully achieve its full potential."

Testimonials

'Our daughter has been at Bertie's since the very first day it opened its doors. A year on and we're just as impressed by the warmth, fun, and excellent learning that is at the heart of the Bertie's community. Our child has blossomed into a confident, curious and caring person who will be more than ready to start school when the time comes.

It's the extras that make Bertie's extra special: Weekly forest school, Stretch & Grow physical education, dance classes, healthy home-cooked food from Bertie's own kitchen, visits from art and music practitioners and 'community heroes' such as the police,.. the list goes on. All activities are designed and supported by enthusiastic, experienced, affectionate staff who really get to know each child - their personalities, needs, friendships and families. And all this, set in beautiful, practical gardens and grounds, where free flow in and out is the norm, whatever the weather.

We couldn't be happier at Bertie's. As our daughter once said: 'Bertie's is a sparkling place!' It will be hard to leave for school when the time comes, but we have a feeling that the friendships made here with staff, parents and children will continue on.'

Testimonials

"Everyday Jack sprints into Bertie's with a shout of Bertie’s and without a backwards glance, he loves it. The amount of outdoor play and varied activities provided is fantastic. The staff are extremely caring and know the children inside out, they are constantly helpful and wise."


Testimonials

"My daughter has been going to Berties since it opened in January 2018. She absolutely loves it and doesn't give me a backward glance when I drop her off! The staff are warm, friendly and attentive, and so obviously enjoy working with their little charges. The facilities are second to none, particularly the extensive outdoor space where they charge around in the fresh air, get muddy and having lots of fun.  If you imagined an ideal nursery for your baby, toddler or preschooler, this would undoubtedly be it."
