When preparing to send your child to nursery there are several essential items you should pack to ensure your child's comfort, safety, and well-being. Here's a list of items you should consider bringing:
Pack at least one change of clothes, including underwear and socks, in case of accidents or spills.
Provide enough nappies for the day and wipes for nappy changes.
If your child has a comfort toy, blanket, or any other item that helps them feel secure, include it in their bag.
Pack nutritious snacks and a packed lunch or lunch money, adhering to the nursery's dietary guidelines.
Include a labelled drink bottle filled with water or an age-appropriate drink for your child.
Depending on the weather, provide appropriate outdoor clothing, such as a coat, hat, gloves, and wellies (rain boots).
In sunny weather, provide sunscreen and a sun hat to protect your child during outdoor activities.
Include personal toiletries if required, such as baby wipes, baby lotion, or any specific products your child needs.
If your child requires any medication, provide it along with clear instructions to the nursery staff. Fill out any necessary medication forms.
Always ensure the nursery has up-to-date emergency contact details and knows how to reach you or other authorised individuals.
Clearly communicate any allergies or dietary requirements your child has, providing necessary alternatives or medications.
Carry out any required paperwork, permissions, or forms that the nursery needs for your child's enrolment and care.
Provide any health or immunisation records required by the nursery for their records.
In case of rain, pack waterproofs, wellies, and a spare change of clothes.
Always ensure that all items are clearly labelled with your child's name to understand their specific requirements and recommendations for what to bring.
Aeda’s Angels welcomes children aged from 6 weeks to 5 years old.
Our nursery is open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times within these hours.
Yes, Aeda’s Angels Nursery is regulated by Suffolk Childcare Agency who are registered with Ofsted, ensuring we meet the highest standards in childcare and early education.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which focuses on key areas of child development, including communication, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional development.
Aeda’s Angels prioritises safety. We have locks on all gates, we ensure that the front door of the setting is triple locked and that only one entrance/ exit is used by all families and stff throughout the day, we have CCTV monitoring, and a robust signing in/out process. Only authorised individuals can pick up your child. We will not send your child home until contact has been made with the parent if we do not recognise/ or know the person that has come to collect your child. We will tell them to wait outside until we are certain that this is a trusted adult.
We use a broadcast to provide daily updates including images of the activities and lunches. We are switching to Childs Path where we will be sharing the daily updates and photos, and information about your child's activities and milestones. You'll also have opportunities for formal parent-teacher meetings.
We offer healthy meals and snacks and can accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies. Please inform us of your child's specific needs.
Aeda’s Angels supports and guides children through toilet training, respecting their individual readiness and needs.
Our nursery maintains low staff-to-child ratios to ensure each child receives personalised attention. Our educators are highly qualified and experienced in early childhood education.
Absolutely! We encourage parents to visit our nursery to meet our staff, see our facilities, and get a feel for the environment. Please schedule a visit with us using the contact us page.
We have clear procedures for handling medical emergencies. We'll contact you immediately, and if necessary, seek medical attention. We record all accidents and incidents, and will ask parents for a signature at collection. Children with contagious illnesses are asked to stay home until they're well.
We support children through transitions with care, communication, and collaboration. We help them adapt to new environments, if the children are moving up to a different classroom we will send them in with their keyworker so that they can spend some time adjusting to the new place with their trusted adult. When we feel the child is comfortable and happy we will make this their new classroom.
We use positive guidance techniques to encourage appropriate behaviour and ensure a safe, nurturing environment. If a child needs some time for reflection on their actions we offer a thinking chair, where the child can sit and think about what they have done and what might have been the better choice. This is done with the chair still in the setting, by where the children may be doing their activity. We do nor degrade the children by making them face the wall, or isolating them in any way.
Child pickup and drop-off are carefully managed. Only authorised individuals can collect your child, and we have measures in place to verify their identity.
