YMCA Fairhorne Group Hampshire

A Family of Nurseries

YMCA Fairthorne Group is committed to providing an outstanding level of Early Years care at all six of our Day Nurseries.

• Fairthorne Manor Nursery, Curdridge
• Weston Park Community Nursery, Southampton
• Townhill Early Years Centre, Southampton
• St Vincent's Early Years Centre, Gosport
• Little Whale Nursery, Portsmouth
• St Mary's Nursery, Isle of Wight

Although very different, each of our six nurseries share a common ethos that bonds them together and separates them from other childcare providers.

Early Years Development

At YMCA Fairthorne Group nurseries, every child is encouraged to;

• Learn through play and exploration
• Develop independence and self confidence
• Make their own choices
  
• Interact with and inspire their peers
• Use their natural surroundings to learn and develop.

Our experienced and enthusiastic childcare practitioners are committed to;

• Providing innovative, exciting and stimulating learning activities
• Promoting healthy child development
• Providing care to children and families that responds to their individual needs
• Aiding children in developing essential life skills

These practices and commitments mean our nurseries are safe, friendly and inspiring places for young people to be. Children spend as much time outside as they do in and free choice is encouraged whole-heartedly.

• Be healthy
