About Nurturing Hands Childcare
Our Mission
At Nurturing Hands, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children and expect all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment. Our focus is to ensure that every child is offered equal opportunities to be able to grow within our setting as individuals. We aim to offer a relaxed, welcoming, and enriched environment which supports children’s desires to explore and discover as they learn and develop. We want our children to grow from deep within to become strong communicators and confident learners with a thirst for knowledge.
At Nurturing Hands Childcare, our curriculum is designed to support and enhance our daily practice by focusing on each individual child. We aim to embrace their interests and respond to their natural curiosity and way of thinking. Our environment gives children the freedom to make choices and become advocates for their own learning journey. We place great importance on the wider community, which is deeply embedded in the ethos of our setting and has been a key factor in shaping our curriculum. Children are given the chance to explore, appreciate, and discover the wonders of the outdoors. They learn to take and manage risks, fostering confidence and a genuine love for the environment. Our practitioners act as guides in the children's learning adventure. They observe, support, and extend learning by offering meaningful opportunities and experiences. By listening closely to each child and tuning into their needs and interests, we ensure that every child's connection to learning is nurtured and celebrated

Our Programs
At Nurturing Hands Childcare, we provide an inspiring environment where children can play, explore, and learn. Our indoor spaces are calm and filled with open-ended resources to encourage imagination, problem-solving, and independent thinking. Outdoors, we offer distinct experiences that connect children with nature, promoting creativity, resilience, and physical development.
We also love partnering with external professionals who bring fresh excitement to our children’s physical development, all while meeting Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) guidelines. One shining example is Gary, our sports coach, who delivers high-energy sessions focused on balance, coordination, and overall fitness. These fun and interactive activities help children discover the joy of movement, build confidence in their abilities, and nurture a lifelong love for healthy living.
By combining well-thought-out play areas, engaging resources, and exciting activities, we nurture children’s creativity, confidence, and overall development, sparking a lifelong love of learning.
