Bizzy Tots premises at Rugby

Rugby premises

Cranford House is located on the Clifton Road and has been in existence as a nursery for 44 years. It is a small, homely nursery accommodating up to 30 children with separate rooms designed specifically for babies, tweenies, toddlers and pre-school. There is also a large, grassed play area that is safe and secure being separately fenced.

Safety and security

The nursery premises are fenced and hedged with a gate marking the main entrance from the road. Access is gained through the front door, which is well away from the road. A member of staff is on duty to ensure that entrance doors remain secure and that all visitors are challenged and recognised before being allowed access to the children. A record of each child's times of attendance is kept and no child is allowed to be collected by someone we don't know, even if the child does. The nursery entrance also benefits from a CCTV camera ensuring safe monitoring of callers.

Throughout the nursery we have an open door policy that allows parent to see into the rooms, however, safety gates are in position for children under the age of three.

Transport and parking

Parents are able to park with safety and ease outside the nursery and walk/carry their children the short distance to the main entrance. Any outings would only be carried out with the express permission of parents and under the strictest supervision regime.

Accommodation

Accommodation at Bizzy Tots Rugby is divided into these sections:

Baby room up to menu

The Baby room is situated on the first floor of the building. It is a spacious room for babies between the ages of 0-12 months (this is a guide as the children are assessed individually on their abilities when moving rooms). The room accommodates 6 babies, with a ratio of 1:3.

The Baby room supplies all parents with a daily book. Inside it explains what sleep, nappies and bottles your child has had throughout the day and also a small paragraph on how your child has been whilst at nursery.

The Baby room follows Birth to Three Matters and a development book is produced by your child's carer, which is offered to parents on a regular basis for you to see.

On your child's first day in the Baby room you will be invited to come into the room, relax and have a good look around. Your child will have a name peg where you can hang their belongings. You can help your child to settle into an activity on offer, stay for a while and when you feel able to do so, say goodbye. On return to the nursery at the agreed time we suggest you have a chat about the session with your child. Your child's bag will be packed ready for home.

The initial routine will change as your child becomes comfortable with the nursery environment.

Tweenies up to menu

The Tweenie Room is a small but warm, safe and fun environment for children aged 1 to 2 years (this is a guide as children are assessed individually on abilities when moving rooms).

The Tweenie Room can take up to 6 children with a ratio of 1:3 and throughout your child's time here they will be offered a wide range of stimulating activities as well as outdoor time and singing.

Toddlers up to menu

The Toddler Room is a spacious room with more structure and plenty of free choice activities available for children aged 2 to 3 years (this is a guide as children are assessed individually on abilities when moving rooms).

The Toddler Room houses up to 8 children with a ratio of 1:4 as well as offering stimulating activities, outdoor play and singing sessions.

Within Toddlers we work towards small group tasks, colours, shapes and numbers as well as being able to take part in visits to the library, local parks etc.

Once the children move into this room, daily sheets will no longer be used. This can be hard to adjust to at first, however outside the room you will find a board for nappies, wipes, sleeps, food and a list of activities offered during the day.

Pre-school up to menu

Pre-School is the final stage for your child before they start school. It is a calm and fun environment for children aged 3 years onwards with a ratio of 1:5 (this is a guidance age as children are assessed individually on their development as to the exact time that they move).

We take time to build on the children's social skills, group work, confidence and early letter formation. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for easy transition into school and your child's key worker will complete an assessment folder which may be viewed at any time.

We offer extra-curricular activities that include trips related to topics, ballet, Jo Jingles, mobile library and a Graduation party when they leave for pastures new.
