The Southville Centre
We place emphasis on the importance of celebrating and nurturing individuals, whilst also promoting community values
The Southville Centre nursery offers a warm, engaging environment for children aged nine months to five years.
Our nursery reflects the needs of our children as they journey through our spaces, providing awe and wonder in the baby room, excitement and adventure in the toddler room and inspiring exploration and independence in our preschool spaces.
Our resources and activities are carefully cultivated with our inquisitive little friends in mind by our experienced practitioners who are always looking for new ways to learn through play.
A day in the life of our little ones
Free Play
By providing free play opportunities, where our team can follow the children’s lead, we can make sure that everyone’s voice is valued and create experiences that fully engage each child.
Small Group Time
We create tailored activities for smaller groups of children to support holistic development for each child. Small group time can range from a specific activity for an individual to a joint task for a little group of friends and promotes confidence, problem-solving and collaboration.
Circle Time
We gather as a larger group, enjoying singing, yoga and stories as a community. Circle time helps to develop key skills including taking turns, listening respectfully and choosing as a group.
Outdoor Play
We love to play outside in our vast garden, climbing in the trees; exploring water play; planting in the allotment; scooting around; and using the mud kitchen. When we’re in the garden we can play with our friends and siblings from other Rooms.
Meal & Snack Time
We sit together to enjoy our healthy and nutritious meals and snacks. Meal and snack times provide opportunities to try new flavours whilst enjoying the company of our friends.
Nap Time
We create a calm and secure environment for all children who need to sleep during the day, supporting them to fall asleep in their individual preferred way. Rested children are happy children and we will work with each family to ensure that we are supporting your child’s sleep needs.
