Winnie

Tonia‘s cavapoo

Winnie is our owner Tonia‘s cavapoo. She has been part of our nursery since she was 10 weeks old and the children have enjoyed her visits, they have learnt how to look after a puppy. It’s lovely to see how the they all react and communicate with her. The younger children stroking her fur and making eye contact the older children learning about her needs and her care brushing her, feeding her training her and playing with her. We feel having this opportunity in a controlled environment is of great benefit to the children.

Learning opportunities for our staff

As well as gaining qualifications in early years care and education, the settings staff take part in further training to help them to keep up-to-date with thinking about early years care and education.


The setting also keeps itself up-to-date with best practice in early years care and education, as a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance , and National Day Nursery Association as well as through the Under 5 magazine and publications produced by the Alliance. From time to time the setting holds learning events for parents. These usually look at how adults can help children to learn and develop in their early years. Courses on similar topics are held locally by the Pre-school Learning Alliance; watch out for information about these.
