Green Shoots Oldfield Park
About the childcare provider
Description
Green Shoots Pre-school opened in September 2013 in Bear Flat. Judy Scott is the company Director and Pre-school Manager. She has over 25 years experience of working with children aged 0-7 years including supporting children with Special Educational Needs, a BA Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies and a wealth of knowledge and experience as a practitioner, manager and parent. Judy and the wonderful team at Green Shoots have a clear vision and set of values that underpin everything they do.
Now with an additional premises, Green Shoots has a second site placed in the heart of Oldfield Park. The Ascension Church Hall on Claude Avenue offers a great location, with easy access to bus routes, the city centre and other local facilities. The hall is spacious and inviting, we share its facilities with local community groups linked to the Church of Ascension.
Green Shoots Oldfield Park is a 28 place pack away setting. We use the main hall and our large engaging outdoor space for the daily pre-school provision and the children attend as a Tadpole (2-3yrs) or as a Froglet (3-5yrs). We have sole use of these areas Monday to Friday All Year Round (47.5 weeks of the year). We are OFSTED registered and offer Early Years Entitlement (EYE) places for two-, three- and four-year-old children.
We are very lucky to have access to local areas such as the Linear Line, Moorland Road, local parks and meet the children and team at Bear Flat at the Bloomfield allotments. We encourage being outdoors in all weathers and regularly go on outings, exploring wildlife and learning about healthy lifestyles. Our key person system allows every child to feel special and included. We plan activities that link in with children’s individual interests and needs.
