Our Children
Our aim is to provide a homely, caring and stimulating environment for our children where they can develop and learn to their full potential.
Zig Zags is fully inclusive and each child is treated as an individual which is evident in our playrooms through our planning, play activities and our observations whilst working within the Early years Foundation Stage curriculum.
Baby Room
(0-2 years of age)
The baby room has its own tranquil sensory/sleep room, which is soothing, a milk kitchen and nappy changing room. The room is separated into two areas, a play area and a creative as well as lunch area. The babies are stimulated with music, singing, reading, and arts and crafts. During the day, babies have access to both areas of the room and the garden.
Toddler Room
(2-3 years of age)
This room is designed to allow children to gain more independence and increase their confidence as they now start to mature. Table-top activities involving creativity, songs, number repetition, books as well as stimulated play are used to encourage children to develop.
Pre-School Room
(3-5 years of age)
Children are encouraged to be independent and are in an open and playful environment, they move around freely between the indoor and outdoor activities and interact with each other to develop their social skills.
Practical Life
This gives the child the opportunity to practise the skills of everyday life and helps them develop skill of concentration and co-ordination. It is often the starting point for your child’s journey. It allows the child the time to become confident and capable and promotes skills to develop participation in caring for the environment, ourselves and others.
Language
From the moment the child is in our environment they are exposed to language experiences. We aim to promote and develop these skills through various group and individual interactions. Other materials allow us to gradually build on verbal and nonverbal communication, writing and reading.
Maths
The mathematic materials give us the opportunity to introduce math concepts in a concrete form. It allows us to build the foundations for later maths work when going to school..

Zig Zags – A place/home from home. I believe the nursery has been an excellent choice and played
a huge role in her development. Very homely, fantastic staff and my daughter, I trust is well looked
after.
Yvette
My daughter loves Zig Zags nursery and all the carers she is looked after by. As her parents we love
Zig Zags nursery too! We feel very happy and confident and safe when leave her in the care of the
nursery. Everybody is caring, understanding and personable. The nursery is full of very good
advice. We love the balance of play and learning.
Nazma
Having experienced another nursery, I bought my son back to Zig Zags. Zig Zags has provided both
my children with a very warm and friendly environment, to the point where it is like a second home
to them. I would definitely recommend Zig Zags as a nursery to any parent wanting peace of mind
that their child is happy, safe whilst learning so much on daily basis.
Navjot
I am happy with my son’s development. The care at the nursery is great! The staff are very
supportive and provide plenty of encouragement to help my son to reach his milestones. The
nursery is clean which reassures that my son is being cared for in a clean, comfortable and
stimulating environment.
Gertrude
My child has settled in well. He goes to a warm, safe and welcoming room. The staff are
welcoming with a smile. My son enjoys his time at the nursery and his welfare comes first. I watch
on the webcam and can see how well the staff look after him and keep an interest in his
development of learning. They keep me up to date with providing day to day details.
Rani
My daughter started Zig Zags over a year ago after leaving another nursery. On arriving we were
warmly welcomed by friendly staff, shown around and received good information about everything
we needed to know. Within weeks, we saw a considerable improvement in our daughter, not only
in personal development, but education too. She has thrived under their care and attention which
is reflected in her behaviour. She is a happy, independent and confident girl. As parents we have
confidence that our daughter is well taken care of which is very reassuring and she looks forward
to going to nursery. We recommended the nursery to another parent who has subsequently now
registered her son!

To Zig Zags
I would like to say thank you for all the support this past year.
You guys have been so warm and welcoming to us. I was very sceptical,
at first when I thought of sending my daughter to nursery.
However, upon meeting all the staff, I must say I was
overwhelmed by how lovely all the staff were alone
with their pure dedication and passion for the children in the nursery
We appreciate you all and Zig Zags is the best nursery.
Jussima
To all the Zig Zags Nursery Staff
Thank you for being there for me and my daughter for guiding her
and showing her the way.
Thank you for having the patients and
support and encouraging my daughter.
