Our Nursery
Where Your Child Can Grow Into a Future Star! 🌟
Why Our Nursary
At Future Stars Nursery, we provide a vibrant, nurturing environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive—at their own pace, in their own way. We believe that learning should be active, joyful, and led by curiosity.
Quality Childcare with Free Flow Learning
We are a free-flow nursery (except in our baby room), which means children can move independently between our themed rooms—Galaxy, Sunshine, Comet—and our large, secure outdoor area.
This approach empowers children to:
- Make choices and build confidence
- Develop independence and self-awareness
- Engage physically with nature and their surroundings
- Discover new environments and learning styles at their own pace
Our nursery is carefully designed to inspire imagination and support holistic development. We follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) guidelines, with every room featuring all seven areas of learning, regardless of size.
Outdoor Learning & Our Garden
We are proud to offer one of the largest outdoor play areas in the area, designed with a variety of natural textures and features that capture children’s interest and imagination.
Our on-site vegetable garden introduces children to nature and sustainability in a hands-on way. Gardening offers benefits such as:
- Inquiry-based learning
- Sensory exploration
- Physical activity
- Awareness of healthy food and environmental care
Many children today have limited access to natural ecosystems. We believe in bridging that gap by letting children experience the outdoors daily—digging, planting, and watching things grow.
The Baby Room
Babies are natural explorers. That’s why our baby room is designed with love, thoughtfulness, and safety in mind. We provide:
- Low-level, stimulating toys tailored to each developmental stage
- A calm, nurturing atmosphere that supports emotional and physical growth
- Constant staff presence—babies are never left to cry alone
- Smooth transitions between play, rest, and feeding
Our baby room sets the foundation for confidence and security, giving parents peace of mind and babies the freedom to explore safely.
EYFS – Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the national framework that sets the standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to five years old. All Ofsted-registered early years providers—including nurseries, preschools, childminders, and reception classes—must follow the EYFS.
At Future Stars Nursery, we fully implement the EYFS statutory framework (updated September 2025) to ensure that every child receives a high-quality, consistent early education in a safe and supportive environment.
What Does EYFS Mean for Your Child?
The EYFS provides a common set of principles and commitments that guide how we care for and educate children. It gives you, as parents and carers, peace of mind that your child’s early learning is:
- Carefully planned and age-appropriate
- Focused on all aspects of development
- Delivered in a setting where safety, wellbeing, and happiness come first
At Future Stars Nursery, your child will be learning new skills, gaining confidence, and exploring the world through play, exploration, creativity, and critical thinking—both indoors and outdoors.
The Seven Areas of Learning and Development
The EYFS framework is built around seven areas of learning, which are central to planning your child’s experiences and activities.
Prime Areas (developed first):
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
These are the building blocks for future learning and are a strong focus in the early years.
Specific Areas (developed as children grow):
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
All seven areas are interlinked, and our qualified staff tailor activities to meet each child’s individual interests and stage of development.
You can find the official EYFS statutory framework (effective from 1 September 2025) on the UK Government website:
