St Albans Day Nursery
Welcome to St Albans Day Nursery, we are a private nursery that opened in January 2010
and we are located on the ground floor of a Victorian house in a quiet residential area, just
a short walk from Feltham High Street.
We take up to 30 children at one time from the age of 12 Months – 4 Years on a full time or
part time basis.
We offer both term time only & all year round spaces.
Term Time Only – 38 weeks per year
All Year Round – 48 weeks per year (closed 2 weeks over Christmas & 2 weeks at the end of August)
We are open Monday to Friday from 7.30am to 6.00pm.
Our Mission
We work with families to provide children with the skills to help them succeed in all that they do, by
providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and develop holistically through play.
Settling In
We understand that every child is unique and so is the way that they settle into a new
environment. We take a child-centred and flexible approach to settling-in. We work closely
with parents and carers to learn about each child’s routines, interests, comforts, and needs,
as this helps us to create a settling process that feels safe, secure, and reassuring for you
and your child.
Each child is supported by their dedicated key person, who builds a strong, trusting
relationship and provides consistent care throughout the settling period.

Child-centred approach
We believe children learn best through
play, exploration, and meaningful
relationships. Our experienced
practitioners observe each child closely
and plan activities based on their
individual interests, developmental
stage, and next steps in learning.
Child led activities
are at the heart of our daily practice. We
believe children learn best when they
follow their own interests, curiosity, and
ideas. During child-led play, children are
free to choose activities and resources,
allowing them to explore, investigate, and
learn at their own pace. Practitioners
carefully observe and support children
during these moments, stepping in when
appropriate to extend learning through
positive interaction, questioning, or
introducing new resources.
Learning through play…
Children are encouraged to explore
both indoor and outdoor
environments, developing curiosity,
creativity, and independence. Activities
are designed to be engaging, hands-on,
and appropriate to each child’s age and
abilities.
Early Literacy
We believe children learn best through
play, exploration, and meaningful
relationships. Our experienced
practitioners observe each child closely
and plan activities based on their
individual interests, developmental
stage, and next steps in learning.
Adult led activities
are carefully planned to support each
child’s learning and development in line
with the Early Years Foundation Stage
(EYFS). Our experienced practitioners
introduce purposeful activities that build
key skills such as communication and
language, early maths, physical
development, creativity, and
School Readiness
Through a balance of adult-led and child-
led activities, children are encouraged to
build independence, follow routines,
manage self-care tasks, communicate
their needs, and form positive
relationships. We also support early
literacy and numeracy, listening and
attention skills, and emotional resilience,
all in line with the Early Years Foundation
Stage (EYFS). By working closely with
families and local schools, we ensure
each child is supported and prepared for
their next important step in learning.
Outdoor Learning
Children are encouraged to explore books
independently and with others, develop
listening and attention skills, and begin to
recognise sounds, symbols, and patterns.
Our practitioners support early writing
through fun, hands-on activities such as
drawing, painting, and using different tools
to make marks. By creating a language-rich
environment, we help children build the
foundations for reading and writing while
developing confidence and enjoyment in
communication. Outdoor learning
supports physical development,
wellbeing, and curiosity, helping children
to learn in a natural, stimulating, and
enjoyable way.
