An Introduction to Camrose Early Years Centre
The Centre’s Nursery provides a warm, welcoming and stimulating environment to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of each child. We are proud to be part of the Foundations for Children Nursery Schools Federation, working with children and families across Northamptonshire. Our committed staff are well qualified and extremely experienced. Each child has a named key worker and a qualified teacher oversees the quality of the provision.
All our evaluations, reports and inspections show that children make great progress in their learning and development through the exciting activities, which staff carefully plan with each child in mind.
Our Nursery is organised into three groups: Babies 0-2yrs, Toddlers 2-3yrs, and Sunflowers 3-4yrs

"Staff are highly effective in engaging parents in their children's learning and development. For example, staff offer parents training and a wealth of information to help them extend their children's communication and language and physical development skills at home."
- Ofsted Inspection Report March 2018

Staff Training Day
Staff are very well inducted and supervised and have regular appraisals. We close on 3 days per year for staff training.
Our last training day on 22nd October 2021 was our first joint training day as 'Foundations for Children Nursery Schools Federation.' The Federation comprises of Camrose Early Years Centre, Parklands Nursery School, both in Northampton, and Croyland and Highfield Nursery Schools in Wellingborough. The training day was focused on the Early Years Reforms for Education and Care of children aged 0-5 years, published in Sept 21.
These professional development opportunities allow the teachers and practitioners working with your children to be up to date with the most effective teaching and learning strategies that can help all children achieve their full potential. As you can see from the photos there were many opportunities to share and discuss best practice across the four Nursery Schools.
Please see some pics from the day below.
