Clarence House Day Nursery Ely

Clarence House Day Nursery Ely, located within the East Cambridgeshire District Council area in Ely, provides quality childcare with a dedicated, child-first approach. The nursery is expertly led by a highly qualified manager, holding extensive Level 3 and 4 qualifications, who supports a professional and caring team of educators. This attentive team operates under a robust 'Key Person' system, ensuring staff are well-equipped to deliver exceptional care and foster a high-quality learning environment.

Children thrive in a safe, clean, and homely setting that cultivates a positive atmosphere and strong community feel. This warm, friendly, and engaging environment helps children settle quickly, feeling comfortable and secure from their very first day. Catering to children aged 12 weeks up to 5 years, Clarence House Day Nursery Ely offers flexible sessions, including full-time and part-time options, designed to accommodate diverse family schedules.

The curriculum is meticulously tailored to extend and develop children's key skills at every level through age- and stage-appropriate programmes. Children are encouraged to explore their creative expression with engaging activities such as Yoga Dance, Cook With Me, and imaginative play in the popular mud kitchen. Physical skills and fitness are actively supported through a large garden with an outdoor climbing frame, sandpit, and 'bug hotel', alongside a gigantic ball pit and bouncy castle to extend physical abilities.

Prioritising children's emotional wellbeing, staff build strong, caring relationships, showing attentiveness and patience, which helps children feel loved, happy, and enjoy making new friends. Reassuring updates, especially after drop-offs, ensure children settle smoothly and parents feel informed and connected. Parental involvement is actively supported through regular updates about daily activities and a comprehensive 'Parents as Partners' approach, complemented by a dedicated Learning Journal.

The nursery further enhances engagement by tracking progress and providing 'School Transitions' and 'Ready4School' activities. Clarence House Day Nursery Ely provides quality, affordable childcare, supporting families by accepting 15 and 30 hours government funding. For added value, all meals and snacks are included in the session fees, ensuring clear cost transparency for parents without additional food charges.
