At Twinnie Nursery, we take a holistic view of education—one that recognises that a child’s emotional wellbeing is just as important as their academic development. Helping young children understand and express their emotions is a core part of our ethos.

We know that the early years can be filled with big feelings—excitement, frustration, joy, and sometimes worry. Our nurturing team creates an emotionally secure environment where children feel safe to be themselves, express how they feel, and seek comfort when needed.

Through daily routines and responsive care, children learn to understand their emotions and those of others. We use a variety of tools to support this, including visual aids like emotion cards, calm corners, and stories that explore feelings and relationships.

Staff model positive behaviours and encourage empathy, kindness, and active listening. Whether a child is learning how to share, coping with separation anxiety, or building friendships, we’re there to guide and support with warmth and understanding.

Our approach helps children build resilience and self-esteem—essential life skills that support their overall happiness and long-term success. At Twinnie Nursery, emotional wellbeing is not a subject—it’s a way of life.

Ever wondered what a typical day looks like for your little one at Twinnie Nursery? Every day is thoughtfully designed to provide a balance of fun, learning, creativity, and rest, helping each child thrive in a nurturing and engaging environment.

We begin the day with a warm welcome and free-play sessions that allow children to choose from a range of stimulating activities—building blocks, puzzles, storybooks, and creative corners. This helps them ease into the day while encouraging independence and decision-making.

Mid-morning, we move on to focused group activities based on the EYFS curriculum. This may include early literacy tasks, basic numeracy games, singing, dancing, or themed projects. Our learning is always hands-on and play-based, ensuring it’s fun, interactive, and developmentally appropriate.

Outdoor play is a much-loved part of the day. Children have the chance to explore nature, run, climb, dig, or ride trikes in our secure outdoor area. Being outside helps with gross motor development and offers endless opportunities for discovery and imaginative play.

We provide healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, and rest time is offered when needed to help children recharge. The afternoon may involve storytime, quiet activities, or another round of creative play.

Every child at Twinnie Nursery is celebrated as an individual, and our “day in the life” approach ensures that their time with us is meaningful, memorable, and full of joy.

Starting nursery is a big step—for children and parents alike. At Twinnie Nursery, we’re committed to making this transition as positive and comforting as possible. We understand that every child is unique, and our settling-in process reflects this with patience, flexibility, and lots of care.

When your child joins us, we begin with gentle, introductory sessions. During these initial visits, you are welcome to stay with your child as they get to know their new surroundings, meet the staff, and begin forming friendships. These sessions are designed to help children build confidence in their own time and at their own pace.

Our experienced key workers take the time to understand your child’s routines, preferences, and personality. We work in partnership with parents to ensure your little one feels secure, understood, and supported every step of the way.

We encourage strong relationships between staff and families. You’ll receive regular updates on your child’s progress and wellbeing, both through informal chats and written observations. Communication is key, and we are always here to listen and reassure.

At Twinnie Nursery, your child’s comfort and happiness come first. With a loving environment and a personalised approach, we make sure they settle in with ease—and with a smile.

At Twinnie Nursery, we truly believe that the early years of a child’s life are the most critical for laying the groundwork for future success. From the moment a child takes their first steps through our nursery doors, they begin a journey filled with discovery, growth, and joyful learning.

During the early years, children develop crucial life skills—language, social interaction, emotional regulation, and motor coordination. At Twinnie Nursery, our dedicated team of early years practitioners create an environment where these skills are nurtured through a balance of structured activities and child-led play. We don’t just prepare children for school—we help shape confident, curious, and resilient individuals.

Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring that each child receives a well-rounded educational experience. We introduce literacy and numeracy in a fun and age-appropriate manner, explore the natural world, and encourage creativity through music, art, and role play.

With carefully planned learning zones, regular outdoor play, and a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, Twinnie Nursery is more than a childcare facility—it’s a place where children feel valued, safe, and excited to learn. By choosing Twinnie Nursery, you’re giving your child the best possible start in life.
