Thorndike provides a personal experience where children and their families feel welcome, at home and special.Where early learning and development can flourish.

Based in Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset it strives to provide a high standard of childcare with quality resources and a bright and clean environment where learning is taking from the interests of the children with continuous provision in every room.

The overall aim of Thorndike Day Care is to offer a range of activities, opportunities and experiences that will enable all children that attend, to develop skills, confidence and independence.

We will endeavour to provide suitable materials and equipment to enable staff to prepare a plan and carry this out.

Activities - These will provide the children with the opportunity to work together, they can experiment with different materials and they have the opportunity to help with planning, preparing and clearing away. We also aim to encourage the development of language, co-operation, problem solving and self-esteem, to produce something to take home and/or to learn from.

Experiences - These will enable all children to have the opportunity to participate in unproductive activities. This is particularly important with very young children. These may include things like natural materials, walks, story sessions and singing.
Children learn through their senses. We therefore need to stimulate this as early as possible. It is also nice to do things with the children which are fun as well as educational. This will be the foundation for when they go to school and begin to do formal curriculum work, as an example playing with water, sinking and floating (science).

Opportunities - The above will be offered to all children regardless of sex, ability or age. Children with developmental delay will be given any extra help that the Nursery staff feel is necessary. All children will be encouraged to participate in activities etc., but will never be forced to do so.

Our ultimate aim is to have happy, confident children who will leave us to go to school with a variety of skills and abilities that will enable them to cope as they go forward in life.

At Thorndike we can offer individuals the chance of an apprenticeship to gain NVQ Level 2 or NVQ Level 3 qualification - please contact Hayley Edgecombe for more information.
