Our Vision

The early years of a child’s development are incredibly valuable. Often, it is the first time children are placed in an unfamiliar environment – their first opportunity to start finding their way in the world.

It is also a vital stage of their development, a time when they are like sponges, eager to absorb new information. At Number 1 Childcare, we not only focus on your child’s development, but we also understand the importance of you, the parent, and the connection between your home and nursery life.

We believe that care and education are inseparable.
We believe children are best supported when parents and staff work together.
Our curriculum is play-based, because we believe children learn best through guided play experiences.
We believe children must be respected in order to learn respect.
We believe our learning environment must be planned to ensure children receive rich, stimulating experiences that build on what they already know and can do.
We will support children to use resources and the environment in ways that build independence and problem-solving skills.
We help children develop positive relationships with other children and adults to encourage a strong sense of self-worth and self-esteem. We ensure their experiences, family backgrounds, interests, abilities and cultural heritage are positively celebrated and reflected throughout our setting.
We believe it is essential to provide staff with opportunities for ongoing training and development, so they in turn can offer children meaningful learning and teaching experiences.
We work hard to be part of the local community, accessing local resources so children feel a sense of connection and belonging.
We strive to engage with other professionals for the benefit of the service.

Inspiring Nursery Learning Games for Curious Minds

Our nursery learning games are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, confidence and joy in every child. Through hands-on exploration, storytelling, sensory play and simple problem-solving challenges, children begin to understand the world in a natural, playful way. These activities support the foundations of an early learning years nursery and help little learners grow at their own pace while feeling fully supported and encouraged.

A Gentle Early Years Curriculum Approach That Nurtures Growth

Aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage, our early years curriculum approach blends structured guidance with the freedom to explore. Children take part in games, songs, role-play and outdoor learning that nurture language development, creativity and social skills. This approach ensures that every child feels understood and included, while enjoying meaningful experiences that make early learning both engaging and memorable.
