Learning & Play Areas Fennies at Addiscombe prides itself in its friendly staff and offers high class childcare. The nursery encourages visits from anyone in the local community to help children's knowledge and understanding. These include the Police, Health Visitors, Pet Shop owners and Librarians.
At Fennies, all children are allocated a key person to work closely with parents and the family. The key worker will build a trusting relationship which gives the child confidence while parents are not at the nursery. The key worker relies upon knowledge and understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage to plan activities which support the child's individual needs. Through observation during their day at Fennies and the information shared from parents, every child will have activities dedicated to the improvement of skills for their age and stage of development. Their key worker communicates with you on a daily basis and will support your child's daily routine in line with guidelines and legislation. At the end of each day your child's key person will report back on their day, keeping you up to date with all the activities your child has been involved in and any other information that you need.
Parents evenings take place each term for all the children where you have the opportunity to discuss at length the progress your child has made with his/her Key person and the Manager of the nursery.

The garden also has an outside pavilion to allow for other activities and outside learning to take place.
