What Parents Say
I am writing to congratulate Earlyworld on the quality of its nursery. The quality of the staff is excellent. They all treat the children with kindness and good humour but also the right amount of discipline. They are always ready with a smile, regardless of how demanding their day has been, and they enthusiastically inform me about my daughter's day. They treat her as an individual and watch her carefully to ensure she is happy and occupied with suitably challenging activities. They are imaginative and energetic in their teaching methods and there is always something to look forward to, be it a dressing up day or a visit from a vet

Babies
Staff in our cosy 6-place baby room are selected for their loving, caring personalities. A member of staff will be assigned as your key worker caring for your baby and form a close partnership with you, telling you all about your baby's day with us, and noting it in a daily diary for you. The team are well-trained in baby care, and make sure that your baby has the close personal attention and fun activities throughout the day that really help early development, looking after a maximum of 2-3 babies each. Peaceful, closely supervised sleep is provided in cots or on special floor cushions.
Rooms and carpets are kept clean and fresh, and toys and furniture kept hygienic and replaced regularly.
Parents are welcome to visit at any time of day, and can view their children in the room without being seen, to be sure they are settling in.
Toddlers
We work with parents to help your child with toilet training, develop early communication and social skills, independence and early learning. Safety and good hygiene is paramount throughout the nursery.
A 'key person' is designated for your child, to provide a constant contact for both of you. Observations and assessments of your child's development are made frequently, from which activities are planned to keep you child's interest and help move on to the next stage, following the Department of Education's Early Years Foundation Stage guidance.

Healthy food is freshly prepared on the premises by our Chef, with a varied menu that has won the highest Platinum level of Healthy Eating Platinum Awards in 2008, at all of our nurseries.
Pre-School
Led by our B.Ed-qualified teacher, our activities curriculum is based on the DFES Foundation Stage to link directly to Schools' curriculum, but unlike school nursery classes, we have a very high 1:8 staff ratio, so that we can give a lot of personal attention to every child.
Our wide range of enjoyable, educational activities is ideal for engaging every children's interest and learning, in preparation for a confident and successful start at school. Our activity curriculum has been highly praised in Ofsted inspections - your child will follow an individual learning programme which fully meets all six areas of learning and development set out by the Department for Education in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The rooms are fun and attractive, and all facilities and furniture are specially designed for children.
Outings are also made regularly to learn about the wider environment, we celebrate festivals and we have many seasonal projects, like growing vegetables in our gardens and hatching butterflies.
In the last year we have had termly parents' evenings, and we liaise with local schools to help prepare for a smooth transition to school.
Active Play
Our ½ acre of countryside with lawns, bike-riding areas, climbing frames, sandpit and many winding paths, shrubs and trees stretch muscles and imagination in the fresh air!
Soft Play Room
Weather does not stop play! Because our British weather is so changeable, we provide a large indoor 'soft play' room for each age group to take turns running, jumping and tumbling safely ... while staying warm and dry.
NEWS UPDATEShrewsbury Nursery wins coveted Platinum Healthy Eating Award. Shrewsbury MP, Daniel Kawczynski, presented the award and sampled the lunch menu. He said 'This is truly delicious! Even the youngest toddlers here are enjoying healthy food that's tasty, which starts healthy eating habits that should last their whole lifetime'. Earlyworld is the first nursery in Shropshire to be awarded the highest Platinum level Shropshire Healthy Eating Award, by Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council in partnership with Shropshire County Primary Care Trust.
