Safehands Nursery at Accrington

Safehands Green Start Nursery at Accrington underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2013 creating an amazing environment for the children who attend our nursery.

Our nursery is a busy and lively environment where children are very well cared for in surroundings in which they are encouraged to learn and explore through a "hands on" play based environment.

All staff are thoroughly dedicated to ensuring all our children's well being and safety, they are trained to a very high standard and are continuously renewing their in house training on a rolling programme. We provide a home from home nursery with a family feel – our own cook makes the children's meals on the premises often using the vegetables and fruits that the children have grown themselves in our nursery garden. The emphasis is very much on healthy eating and sharing meals times with our friends – making them social and learning occasion.

The outdoors is an integral part of our nursery life, they use the outdoors to ride, climb, build, draw, share stories as well as to investigate the natural world. We plan regular daily and weekly activities for the children to share in based on their own individual interests. Children are very much seen as individuals here at Safehands and we warmly welcome all children celebrating diversity of every kind.

It is very important for children that we learn as much about them as is possible and so we do this by talking to you as parents and carers, asking you to write comments in your child's "home/ nursery" book and share with us their life outside of nursery so we can make your child's day and all activities on offer as interesting and relevant to them as possible.

All of our children are allocated a "key person" – that is their special person who will build a good strong bond with your child and his/her family. Although all of the staff will be involved in the care of your child. We firmly believe that all of our children enjoy coming to nursery and really thrive during their time with us.
