About

Waingels Gardens Day Nursery is part of The Forbury Group of Nurseries, established in 1991. Our other nurseries are situated in Reading and surrounding areas; Forbury Gardens, Berkeley Gardens, Woodley Gardens and Newbury Gardens. We offer full and part time places to children from 3 months old up to the age of 5 years. We are situated in a purpose built building adjacent to Waingels Copse College, Waingels Road.

Aims

We aim to provide a warm, happy, welcoming environment for everyone. Our qualified staff understand the importance of allowing each child to develop their individual interests and learning skills. We endeavour to provide different activities everyday to help each child progress fully.

Our Curriculum

We hold Personal Progress Reports on each child and assess your child’s development daily. This report is shared with parents so that you are regularly updated. With younger children, particularly babies, we understand the importance of your childs’ care routine, and we aim to maintain continuity between home and Nursery.

Our team

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of individual children. All of our practitioners are expected to share this commitment and have been thoroughly vetted in accordance with Ofsted requirements. Our Senior team are all qualified and highly trained in child care and education. We also use an apprenticeship scheme to train enthusiastic and passionate individuals who are starting out in their childcare career. Practitioners receive regular ongoing training to help them to further their career and knowledge of childcare to reach their full potential.

Welfare

We consider health and safety of each child of upmost importance and each child is allocated a ‘key person’ when they first start at the Nursery. This ‘key person’ will ensure that your child feels individually cared for. Children’s meals are cooked on site every day by our qualified cook. We use fresh fruit and vegetables and source meat locally. We cater for all allergies and dietary requirements.
