Rising Stars Day Nursery is situated within a local community close to shops, bus routes, and local schools. It offers ample parking and a home from home environment. The setting is surrounded with playing fields and parks, offering the chance to explore the nature of the outside area. We also have a secure garden area within the local community centre.
Comets room is for children aged 1 to 3 years.
There is a mixed ratio in this room of 1:3 for under 2 years and 1:4 for 2-3. year olds.
Staff will work along side the room lead to create exciting activities, following the children’s individual interests.
Creative activities, sensory play, construction, puzzles, books, mark-making, sand and water play are just some of the activities the children enjoy.
Circle time offers many opportunities for the children- we talk about our book of the month, learn the sign of the week and encourage the children to share experiences with their peers.
