Nurturing Young Minds In London

Pre-toddlers (15 Months – 2 Years)

Our Pre-toddler Room accommodates up to 18 children daily, maintaining a 1:3 ratio to provide close supervision as your toddler takes their first steps. The spacious open plan room allows ample space for physical activities and explorative play. High-quality, age-appropriate activities across five learning zones encourage developmental milestones, while structured playtime fosters emerging social skills. After lunch, the toddlers rest in a snug setting facilitated by blackout blinds, recharging for more afternoon fun.

Pre-School (3-5 Years)

Our Pre-School room, preparing 24 children for school daily, operates with a 1:8 ratio, encouraging greater independence in preparation for school. The room features four learning zones with activities designed to advance crucial skills such as listening, attention, and fine motor control necessary for writing. Independence is further encouraged through self-service during meals and independent hygiene management. Our skilled practitioners ensure each child is school-ready, focusing on phonics and physical skills essential for academic success.

A Typical Day

A typical day at Tiny Champs Nursery begins with breakfast being served between 8-8:30am.

After breakfast, activity time begins, and the children can enjoy a range of activities both indoors and outdoors. These activities are planned by the children’s key people to ensure that they support them to make development through the curriculum.

During activity time children will also be taken on trips to places within the local area such as the Library, the Garden Centre, and local parks.

At 9:30am a fresh fruit-based snack is served, and the children can take turns to come and enjoy some delicious fruits.

Activity time continues throughout snack time to avoid unnecessary disruptions to the routine.

At 11:45am the children enjoy their two-course lunch. This is the main meal of the day and consists of a hot meal and a non-sweet, based pudding.

After lunch is rest time, our younger children will go down for a nap, whilst our older children enjoy some quiet time and participate in activities that enable them to rest and recharge ahead of their afternoon session.

After rest time the children engage in activity time once more.

At 3:30pm the children have tea. This is a lighter meal than what we have at lunchtime, but still consists of two courses.

After tea the children engage in free choice play. After all their hard work throughout the day they have truly earned to just have some fun.

At 5:45pm the children have a home time story and are offered a light snack to stop them feeling too hungry on their way home.

Water is offered to children throughout the day.

Our Nursery Fees are inclusive of extracurricular activities, freshly cooked meals and snacks, Nappies and Wet Wipes and Suncream.

We are open 51 weeks of the year excluding bank holidays, Monday to Friday 8am-6pm with the option to book an early start (7:30am) or late finish (6:30pm). The nursery also has three afternoons a year where the nursery is closed for staff training.

It is in the best interest of your child that they attend a minimum of 10 hours per week. This ensures that they are settled and can participate in the curriculum.

In line with supporting our families to get as much help as possible with the costs of childcare here is some useful information on the support that is available.

Tax Free Childcare:

You can get up to £500 every 3 months for each of your children. In order to receive Tax Free Childcare, you’ll need to set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 that you pay into this account the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your childcare provider.

You can get Tax Free Childcare at the same time as 15 or 30 hours of Government Funding if you’re eligible for both. More info can be found here Tax-Free Childcare – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Child Tax Credits:

Help is available through the childcare element of Universal Credit. If you are in receipt of Universal Credits, they will pay up to 85% of your childcare costs.

Childcare Vouchers:

For working parents’ childcare vouchers can prove an excellent way to spread and reduce the costs of childcare. At Tiny Champs Nursery we are currently registered with EDEN Red and Enjoy benefits, but we are always willing to join up to new schemes.
