Exceptional nursery activities in Iver

At The Old Station Nursery Iver, we know that nursery education has many benefits. Not only does it allow parents to return to work knowing their child is safe and cared for, but evidence shows that it contributes to cognitive, social, and physical development, boosts confidence and independence, and supports children’s preparation for school. To support this, our Iver day nursery offers FREE childcare for siblings of registered children to support the whole family.

Please contact the nursery team at Iver to determine the nursery fee that is correct for your individual circumstances.

The Old Station Nursery Iver, conveniently located on Iver High Street, has been a part of the local community for over 20 years. Today, we continue to offer excellent nursery care with the addition of three distinct learning enhancements for your child; these are child-friendly cooking classes and language lessons, both delivered in a Montessori inspired way that fosters strong connections between children and the world around them.

Our nursery offers these exceptional learning experiences for your child, helping to set Iver nursery education apart and providing our local children with an outstanding start in their learning journey.

The two-storey nursery is set within a converted church building, with a well-resourced outdoor area, encouraging an active lifestyle and outdoor play. This might be small world play exploring the theme of the week in the setting of the garden, or engaging in gardening activities such as seed planting and watering.

At our nursery, every moment spent is an opportunity for your child to develop essential skills and aptitudes that not only prepare them for their journey into formal education but also ignite a lifelong passion for learning.

Let us show you how your child can experience this great start with us at The Old Station Nursery Iver by coming along for a personalised tour of our nursery to see the environment and enhancements that we offer.

Our enriched curriculum embedded into every nursery

The Brighter Learning Approach (BLA) is unique to The Old Station Nursery group and is our advanced approach to the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and core pedagogy. It differs from traditional nursery teaching methods by providing real-life opportunities to enhance children’s natural curiosity, with emphasis on hands-on experiences, child-led learning, and whole development.

The six core areas promote active engagement and critical thinking whilst encouraging exploration, creativity, and collaboration. Each child learns at their own pace and is challenged and extended at appropriate times.

The best place to see the BLA in action is via our local nursery Facebook page, where each post explains which part of the curriculum the children are working on. Our parents also receive updates on the Parent App too.

Clubs and enhancements at The Old Station Nursery Iver

Iver nursery offers a unique combination of clubs and enhancements to provide the very best in nursery care and education in the local area.

Budding Scientists at Iver nursery

Children learn so much during their early years and take great joy in exploring the world around them. At our nursery they’re immersed into the world of Science through age appropriate hands-on experiments and activities designed to spark their curiosity.

Budding Musicians at Iver nursery

Budding musicians can explore different instruments at our children’s nursery, as well as enjoying rhythmic games, and participating in interactive sing-along sessions. They’ll discover the joy of creating melodies, understanding beats, and expressing themselves through music. Each activity is carefully crafted to inspire a love for music and develop their auditory skills in a fun and engaging environment.

Budding Movers at Iver nursery

At our children’s nursery our Budding Movers dive into a variety of activities including dance, sports, and beyond. These engaging experiences are adored by both children and practitioners, seamlessly integrating movement with structured learning to enhance coordination, build confidence, and foster a sense of joy at nursery.

Cookery at Iver nursery

Cookery enhancement means that the children follow a set curriculum, using child-safe equipment. It is evident from watching the children how much enjoyment they get from cookery activities.

They gain early maths skills by measuring ingredients and listening skills from following instructions. We really enjoy watching them succeed and our parents love to see their children in their chefs’ hats and aprons as they whip-up their next delight.

Montessori inspired at Iver nursery

The Montessori method emphasises five key learning areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Each of these areas uses specific learning materials and practises, which are introduced in phases to our Iver children.

An example might be learning to lay and clear away the table for lunch. Through these activities our children become competent with everyday tasks, and their confidence soars.

Languages at Iver nursery

Age-appropriate language lessons now feature on our timetable including baby-signing and language songs, stories and books which can also be shared with parents to continue the learning at home.

Our children leave for their next learning stage at primary school feeling confident about exploring languages and participating in class.

Super Star Sports at Iver nursery

The brilliantly energetic Super Star Sports team join us each week to engage the children in catching, throwing and kicking balls just like the children will do in a P.E lesson at school.

We have lots of equipment for biking, scooting and hooping. Once all the energy is spent there are plenty of calm activities for the children to breathe and get some downtime.

Yoga at Iver nursery

Breathing and stretching our bodies is a life-skill that sadly us adults often forget about as we age.

Introducing children to yoga poses may help form a lifelong appreciation of the practice and is a good, calming activity in a busy environment.

Budding Artists at Iver nursery

Messy Mornings is a firm favourite for the children and our parents tell us they would rather have the mess on our nursery floor rather than on the home carpet! These activities can include anything from paint to flour to leaves, playdoh, lentils, shredded paper and glue to name a few. In essence, Messy Mornings uses items that the children love to get their hands on, bringing their creative development and fine motor skills to the fore.

Budding Gardeners at Iver nursery

There is something really grounding about putting our hands in soil and the children are certainly calm and focused when we teach them about the different stages of growth cycles and explore the different tastes and textures of the produce.

As Budding gardeners, children learn about the environment and gain lifelong sustainable growing skills and enjoyment, which they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Our promises at The Old Station Nursery Iver

Parent Communication

Our nursery group is passionate about the link between home and nursery; the nursery experience is just as much about the parent as it is for the child. The Old Station Nursery Iver commits to verbally updating you about your child’s day at pick-up time and also via digital updates on the parent App.

We are here at any time should you wish to call us or want to discuss any area of your child’s care. Our aim is to look after our parents as well as our children, so you can carry on with your day, work and career with a sense of peace.

Safety First, Safety Always

First and foremost, you and we need to know that your child is safe. Before we can deliver the excellent curriculum that makes our nurseries so special, robust policies and procedures are followed to meet the exacting standards of Ofsted, building and fire regulations, food safety standards and the checking and training of all staff.

Nursery Mealtimes

Nutritious hot meals are prepared on-site at The Old Station Nursery Iver by our cook and menus are rotated every three weeks.

Our Budding Gardeners enjoy growing herbs all year round so that we can then use the herbs in our menus, teaching the children about garden to table.

Key Person

Every child has a nursery key person who knows them best and who will be the child and parent’s main contact. Your key person at our nursery will update you about your child’s day and is there to answer your questions.

When your child moves to the next age group room, we hold several settling sessions with a new nursery key person. We encourage our parents to view the new room too and we will work with you to discuss the new routines, just like we did when you first started nursery.

Next Stop School

It is wonderful to nurture and see our children graduate to primary school. Part of the unique offering of The Old Station Nursery Iver is our focus on the next stage of your child’s learning journey.

We prepare the children through school activities, teacher meet and greets and graduation ceremonies.

Our commitment is to support our parents too by providing child learning journey updates, parents evenings or one-to-ones and home link learning kits to enhance the link between nursery and home.

Nursery Activities

All our nurseries follow the Brighter Learning Approach, our bespoke version of the Early Years Statutory Framework and within this, each nursery chooses extra clubs, activities and enhancements that are suitable for their space.

At The Old Station Nursery Iver we offer the three exciting enhancements of Cookery, Languages and Montessori inspired which truly makes our nursery unique in the Iver area.  We also thoroughly enjoy role playing and you will often find us creating florists or cafes out of recycled cardboard and a lot of imagination.
