Huge refurbishment of both the indoor and outdoor environments in 2020 maintains Leo’s reputation for the highest quality
Our Leo’s Day Nursery Arnold is one of our more recently refurbished day nurseries near Nottingham City. Its massive internal refurbishment was completed in 2020 and as part of the refurbishment we also extensively re-resourced and re-equipped the indoor environment, transforming it into an all-natural space. The majority of the furniture is now ‘Community Playthings’ – which is the highest quality age-specific nursery furniture available, and made of solid beechwood. We redecorated in a natural and calming colour palette which has given all of our rooms a soothing ambience.
We also completely refurbished and re-equipped our garden area and we believe our outdoor play space is a ‘stand out’ feature of the nursery, particularly for our children. Two beautiful mature trees – here long before our refurbishment – provide peace and serenity, the feeling of which is only permeated by the giggles, booming laughter and joyful shouts of the children. These trees are surrounded by lawn, and our many garden features – a sand pit, digging area, ‘mud kitchen’, wooden tee-pee for creative and imaginative play and an ‘Outdoor Classroom’.
‘Curiosity Approach’ at the heart of our resources
Our nursery has been carefully planned to support children to get the most out of their time spent with us. We follow ‘The Curiosity Approach’ which means that loose parts, authentic objects and open-ended resources – alongside more well-known educational resources – form the basis of our exciting curriculum.
Every child’s nursery experience is personalised to who they are
We work hard to understand every child – what they enjoy doing, what their preferred learning style is and the kinds of things that they like to play with – in order to personalise their experience at the nursery and support their individual journey.
Our families are closely involved in nursery life
Our staff are genuinely interested in supporting children to learn and to grow, and develop great relationships with both children and families alike. We want families to feel just as much a part of our nursery as our children and want our parents to feel included in their child’s journey with us. We often have family members involved in activities at the nursery, which really promotes learning opportunities for all and supports our philosophy on partnership working. We feel part of the local community too and are active in working with local groups and agencies.
