About the Company:
Choo Choos Day Nursery and Preschool is a family-run setting in Taunton that provides exceptional standards of childcare for children aged 3 months to 11 years. Here at Choo Choos, we aim to provide an environment that will encourage children to develop into happy, confident, independent individuals. We foster our child's natural curiosity, sense of awe and wonder, enthusiasm to learn, and encourage the children to explore and investigate a range of resources and materials using all of their senses. We work closely with our sister setting, Chutters Day Nursery, to share good practice and support children's learning and development. We offer an outstanding and nurturing experience in a beautiful, warm, and traditional environment. The nursery offers great facilities and promotes outdoor learning.
The role of the Nursery Practitioner is to ensure all children attending Choo Choos Day Nursery receive high-quality care, are kept safe, and are provided with planned and stimulating play experiences that meet their individual needs and support all aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.
