Recipient: The Wendy House Day Nursery - Wythall
Date: Friday 16 Sep 2016
The Wendy House Day Nursery, located in Wythall and Lynwood, scooped a prestigious Nursery World award at a glittering ceremony on Saturday evening at The Brewery, London. The Nursery World awards, which shine a light on best practice in early years education and child care, recognised The Wendy House’s excellent contribution to pre-school education through its innovative Foundation Unit concept.
Foundation Unit is a fully structured pre-school environment with a strong learning and development ethos, within a private day nursery setting, which means busy working families have the certainty of full-time child care combined with a full-scale pre-school education, for a further year before they start school.
Thanks to the dedication of The Wendy House’s teaching team, the children in Foundation Unit are flourishing; as Ofsted observed earlier this year, 'Children develop the essential skills for their future learning at school….children develop exceptional skills in early numeracy and literacy….they have excellent attitudes to learning…children make...exceptional progress from their starting points.'
