Bizzie Bees Lealands

Bizzie Bees Nursery is located on the campus of Lealands High School, towards the rear of the grounds within the Youth Wing. We have a totally self contained space, with a secure entrance, large bright and airy playroom which leads out onto a fully equipped enclosed garden. Our refurbishment in 2012 has enabled us to offer a greatly enhanced experience for all our children & parents. Bizzie Bees is Ofsted registered for children between the ages of 2 & 5 Years. We can offer you flexibility to support all your childcare requirements.

The children have use of the outside space and are encouraged to dress according to the weather.
At snack and lunchtime the children are encouraged to be independent. Staff talk with children about the food they are eating and how it helps them to be strong and healthy. Children are also encouraged to be independent with toileting and hand washing. To minimise the risk of cross-infection the children use paper towels to dry their hands. They are made aware of germs and the need to wash their hands. All children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This consists of working towards outcomes/goals in the following areas;

Prime Areas
Personal Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Communication and Language

Specific Areas
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding of the world
Expressive arts and design

Staff complete observations during the activities and record them in children’s individual learning journeys. We ask parents to contribute to these on a regular basis, slips are available at all times for you to note down any observation or information that you want to share with your child’s Key Person. This information will then be fed into your child’s individual learning journey which you are free to see at any time. We also conduct parent consultations where your child’s Key Person will spend time talking with you about your child’s progress.
