I have been the Nursery Manager at Barney Lodge for three years but led childcare settings for over 25. My team is highly qualified and experienced and will work closely with you to ensure your child is settled and confident within each of their rooms.
We know that every child is different, with their own story, so we make sure that your child learns and develops at a pace that is right for them. We want children at Barney Lodge to be curious, creative and confident learners. Our indoor and outdoor environments capture their imagination and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Children spend a great deal of time outside in our large garden, and we support outside learning through our curriculum and Forest School sessions.
We would love to meet you and welcome you to the "Barney Lodge Family" and show you how we could care for your child in partnership with you.
Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.
Our bespoke food menus cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy nutritious meals. With a wide range of meal options, we provide a diverse and inclusive dining experience that encourages healthy eating and introduces new flavors.
Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.
We believe in the power of kindness and the importance of giving back. We鈥檙e always looking for ways to support good causes and get involved in our community, helping to make a positive impact where it鈥檚 needed most.
Throughout the year, we鈥檒l be organising a range of fun and meaningful fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days to sponsored challenges and community events. It鈥檚 a great way for our children, families, and team to come together, have fun, and make a real difference.
Amidst all that learning, there鈥檚 plenty of time for play with games, creative activities and outdoor fun.
If children prefer some time away from the hustle and bustle, our quiet area is equipped with reading books and spaces to complete homework.
Whether it鈥檚 breakfast to start the day or a hearty meal after school, all of our nutritious food is freshly prepared daily.
