About Us

Welcome to Cradle
Nursery

A dedicated and purpose-built place to provide excellence in nurturing the future of our children. We understand how difficult it is to find a suitable environment where your child’s first formative years will be spent away from you. That is why we have taken care of every detail in the setting, to make sure that we provide the ‘home away from home’ environment. Our mission is to offer our Cradle children happy, safe, and stimulating surroundings in order for them to learn and explore, have creative experiences, and stay active.
Our nursery is prominently located on Leicester Road Wigston, directly opposite the Holiday Inn Hotel and Bella Italia. We are open 51 weeks of the year from 07:30 am to 06:30 pm, Monday to Friday. We cater to children aged between 3 months to 5 years old. Moreover, we offer places for government-funded children for 2 and 3 years old. All major childcare vouchers are accepted with full time and part-time places. Our amazing chef prepares fresh vegetarian, vegan and halal meals on site.
We are very proud to say that our highly qualified and motivated staff members create a safe and learning environment for children to access all facilities available at our well equipped and spacious nursery, both in our indoor and outdoor play area. At The Cradle Nursery, we like to laugh, sing, and give lots of cuddles to our children. Our staff is well trained in providing safe and secure attachments. With all our love and care we help our children develop and grow. They get opportunities to build on physical, social, and emotional skills, communication and language, creativity through understanding the world around them while incorporating well-planned literacy and numeracy activities.
Our Nursery has an open-door policy, so come along and visit us to see how our Cradle Children experience a day of wonders where they see, search, and spread their wings before they can fly.

Services
We aim to provide high quality care and learning to all children by ensuring we know each child and their needs by involving parents. Parents as partners add to their child’s learning journey by taking an active part in the nursery life. We offer two free settling in sessions where parents are encouraged to do a development baseline for their child, care plan and all about me etc. After the child settles in we do a detailed assessment of the child to identify ages and stages of development. From there we start working on child’s progress by developing individual next steps. All staff is fully competent to assess, observe and plan using guidelines from EYFS. Effective key person system is also in place to ensure babies, toddlers and preschool children have warm, engaged and responsive relationship with their key person (main carer).

Do you need Behaviour Management in Early Years? Or just Self-Regulation?

If I am teaching and children don’t behave I don’t blame them, I blame me! I adapt my teaching to ensure that the children are kept interested or I may ignore the unwarranted behaviour so as not to disrupt the flow and here is why.
