Our aims
Exeter College Day Nursery provides a secure happy atmosphere created where the children learn through play and by socialising with each other. There are bright playrooms and a spacious outdoor play area with a wide variety of toys, equipment and activities for stimulating play and learning.
We are very aware that the happiness and welfare of the whole child is of paramount importance and therefore we ensure a holistic approach to the curriculum.
The highly qualified team of staff working with the children and parents are of a mixed age range and well qualified to keep up to date on current legislation.
The team is supported by an Early Years Curriculum advisor. The team works together to provide a stimulating environment in which each individual child can fulfil their potential.
