Policies

Our setting supports children's development and encourages them to thrive using a set of policies designed to inform staff of best practice to help children enjoy and achieve.

Communities

We believe a large part of attending nursery is being part of a community and learning about one another.

Sample Menus

Healthy, nutritional meals are a vital part of a child's development.

Transition

We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to, who knows them and their parents well, and who can meet their individual needs.

Nursery in Sheffield

At Toybox Nursery in Sheffield we believe every child should be helped and supported to become a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured.

Every child should be encouraged to be strong and independent, form a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and carers.

We understand that children learn in different ways and at different rates and all children's needs are individual and personal to them. To help us achieve our aim we look at what a child 'is' and what support and resources we can provide.

We believe we provide excellent child care and work with parents to provide a setting that is relaxed, safe and full of learning opportunities.

This is all done on an individual and personal level in order for children to reach their potential and enjoy all that is to offer from our setting. Listed below are our strategies in place to support children to enjoy and achieve.
