Teddies Basingstoke
Childcare Day Nursery in Hampshire
Teddies Basingstoke Nursery is located in a substantial, converted detached house situated next-door to Basingstoke shopping centre, with close links to both bus and train stations and perfectly situated for access to the Library, Museum and the Anvil.
With a self contained baby area and separate milk kitchen, changing facilities and sleep room, babies can follow their familiar routine as they would at home. For children over two, we offer a wide range of activities, resources and play areas to encourage growing abilities and skills. Children up to the age of five are introduced to subjects such as reading, writing, maths, science and ICT - we encourage them to become self-sufficient in dressing, toileting and eating - promoting independence and preparing them for the journey to school.
“I am very happy to leave my child at Teddies Basingstoke. My child is very happy there and likes all the grown-ups and considers all the children as friends, which shows the sort of lovely environment they have there. The handovers that the staff give at the end of the day are very useful to know what has been happening” Teddies Basingstoke Parent
At Teddies Basingstoke we encourage all children to take part in activities and games. We also have our own outdoor area where the children take part in physical play activities – with space where we plant and grow our own flowers, fruits and vegetables – creating the perfect opportunity for learning about nature and healthy eating.
Teddies children venture forth on regular outings - our nursery is located near to two fantastic local parks which our children love to visit Eastrop Park and the War Memorial Park, with plenty of opportunity to get active – playing on swings and slides, and to feed the ducks!
“Excellent - second child nearing the end of their tenure - thoroughly recommended!” Teddies Basingstoke Parent
We also have regular visits to the local residential home and churches, extending children’s knowledge of the world around them. Seasonal outings/events include the Christmas Pantomime, sports day, and end of year graduation – parents are very welcome.
Nursery fees include branded nappies, nappy creams, bottles, and, should a parent wish, a formula milk of your choice.
“The nursery has a strong management team and a high ratio of qualified staff. A key strength of the nursery is the close trusting relationship children develop with their key person. This gives them the confidence to try new things and explore with the self assurance that their key adult is there for reassurance and support” Teddies Basingstoke Ofsted report
