Nursery Nurse Apprenticeship

Dreams 4 U Nursery

From birth, babies are active learners, investigating the sights, sounds, and feel of the world. They explore the world with their senses as they develop. At Dreams 4 U Nursery we provide babies with a safe world and opportunities to actively explore and develop the three prime areas:
Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development. By age two‑three, children move from total dependence to a more independent, mobile preschool experience, building communication skills, independence and self‑regulation.

We focus on a balanced program that strengthens Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design before they start reception.
