About Us
Colleges Nursery and Family Centre is a purpose built nursery located in the north of Cambridge. We have a pleasant outdoor area with a variety of equipment for children to enjoy. We use the outdoor area throughout each session and value outdoor play as a powerful vehicle for learning.
Colleges serves families living in the immediate area. A fairly high number of our children have English as an Additional Language. We are federated with Brunswick Nursery School and share a headteacher across the two schools. We also employ a full time deputy headteacher, 1.5 additional teachers, 2 full time nursery nurses, and 3 part time teaching assistants. In our daycare room we have a full time childcare manager, a full time senior nursery officer, two full time nursery officers and 4 nursery assistants. We place great emphasis on inservice training and continuous personal and professional development for all staff who form our enthusiastic, committed and hardworking team.
We use a child-centred approach and believe the best way for children to learn and develop is through active, hands-on play. Our philosophy is embedded in our aims and in our approach to learning, which encourages children to be independent decision makers and problem solvers. At Colleges we place great emphasis on providing equal
opportunities for all of the children in our care and aim to promote an understanding and valuing of their differences, building positive attitudes. In this way, children will begin to understand the diversity of their world.
Staff and governors work closely to ensure a high standard of provision for children and families at our busy and popular Centre.
Our Childcare Provision
Colleges offers both term time nursery school provision for 3 and 4 year old children and full daycare (8.00 a.m. - 5.30 p.m.) over 48 weeks of the year for children aged 2 - 5 years. Children attending the nursery class can extend their day by adding wraparound care in our daycare - the Daisy Room.
Children are able to attend the nursery class for five mornings or afternoons each week, or alternatively 2.5 days at the beginning or end of the week. 40 children attend at any one time.
The Daisy Room offers a selection of flexible sessions for up to 24 children at a time - a list of these, together with prices is available on request.
All three and four year old children are entitled to receive 15 hours free childcare per week and we also have places for those two year old children who are entitled to 15 hours
government funded childcare.
