Sandpit Nursery Holiday Club (1st Safari Day Nurseries Ltd)

Sandpit Nursery sits on the edge of Barnsley town centre and has been operating since 2003 and owned by 1st Safari Day Nurseries Ltd since September 2016. We are based in what used to be a Methodist Church with extensions and modifications to ensure the building is of a suitable desgin to successfully be a childcare setting. We have 4 rooms which provide varied provision and learning experiences which cater for the individual children in our setting. We have a 0-2  rooms, a 2-3 room, a 3-5 room and an Out of School Club. We also have 2 outdoor play areas for the children to access. We have a highly experienced, qualified staff team including staff members with QTS, Level 3, Level 2 childcare and Playwork.  All staff have enhanced DBS checks and complete paediatric First Aid training, Safeguarding training and Food Hygiene training every 3 years. This is alongside completing other training we may access which will support the care and education we give to the children in our care. We offer spaces to children accessing 2 year entitlement, 12 hours nursery education funding and the additional 15 hours funding, as well as offering Short Breaks for eligible children. Children are assigned a Key Person when they first start to nursery - this relationship helps the child to settle in and to make progress in their learning and development. During school holidays we take the children on trips to local areas such as the park, cinema, bowling alley or museum.
