Offering the following services

Early starts and late finishes

D-Dee’s Day Nursery understand that your needs for early years care and education are as unique as your child.

We are therefore open from 0800-1800 – Monday to Friday for 51 weeks of the year. We offer a range of part time sessions and full days.

Home from Home Environment

D-Dee’s Day Nursery is more than just a nursery. We are a family business and key to our service is delivery of a home from home environment where children and families feel part of our family. We are not corporate and caring for a maximum of 40 children per day enables us to tailor our service to the needs of each child. Our environment is carefully planned and our curriculum structured to ensure the individual touch is of utmost importance.

Online Feedback for Parents

We want you to be part of your child’s learning journey with us. We offer personalised hand overs at the beginning and end of each session. Additionally we use the ‘Learning Book’, an online record of your child’s time with us. Learning Book enables parents to review their child’s journey as well as interact with the nursery. Sending information between families and nursery leads to a greater understanding of early education for you and of your individual child for us. It is a huge benefit to everyone as well as a real window into their early years educational world whether you are at work or home.

More about us

Key persons

Every child deserves to be special to someone and the Keyperson Approach recognises this.

The Keyperson Approach is one of the vital principles in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is a reciprocal relationship between a member of staff, individual child and their family. It provides the child with a sense of security so that they feel confident to explore their world and form further relationships.

Your child's keyperson will know each individual key child and support their sense of identity and individuality. They will be aware of their individual and family needs, preferences and development.
