All grown up…

For more information please call us on 0161 3127474 to book a time to visit the nursery when we can discuss your childcare needs.

Stella Wilson is our Orange Room Team Leader. She has been at Superkids since 2019 and has a BA Honours degree in Early Years.

“I have worked with 0-5 years since 2008 and really enjoy helping children to grow , learn and develop by providing exciting opportunities and activities to help them . I have always wanted to work with children as I was inspired by some teachers when I was growing up and I always wanted to do the same and inspire children. When I’m not working I love spending time with my family and friends. My hobbies include swimming , cooking and reading.”

We share part of our building with Sure Start, who organise groups for local parents. This becomes our Orange Room when they are not using it. We can offer fully funded places in Orange Room for 15 hours over three days.

Where does the time go? Before you know it, your baby will be on the point of going to school. This is when we work hard to achieve our aim of seeing well-rounded children who are emotionally, socially, educationally and physically ready for the next stage. School readiness skills are a key aim at this stage, building on the work done earlier on in the nursery to build confidence and independence. For example, the children have the chance to prepare their own snack, when they need it, from the ‘snack bar’, rather than all children having a snack served to them.

We work closely with local schools to make sure the transition to school is as smooth as possible and so they know what talents and skills your child has already gained at Superkids.

Our Preschool Rooms are packed with fantastic equipment to make sure our children have access to every area of the Early Years Curriculum. Our team plan activities carefully to help all children reach their potential within each area. We will discuss your child’s progress through daily feedback with your child’s key worker, as well as the chance to attend a more formal meeting.

All children are encouraged to think critically, solve problems independently and take controlled risks, both inside and outside in our superb outdoor areas. The outside spaces are designed to mirror the learning areas set up inside, so that activities can be developed by the children themselves in either area. This means our ‘classroom’ reaches beyond four walls.

And we want it to extend to your place too. We love it when parents tell us what their child’s been up to at home as it helps us to put their learning into a real context and allows us to have a joint approach to achieving a child’s full potential.

We love a good sing-along at Superkids and you’ll probably be hearing your little one practising at home. Join in – it’s fun! It also helps develop self-confidence and language skills, all good for when they start school.

Also in the Preschool Rooms are:

• Clearly labelled toys for increased choice of activity
• Large role play area to develop social skills and imagination
• Comfortable book area for relaxed reading
