Teddy's Place Day Care Nursery

The Westover Road premises includes a day care nursery which is licensed to take up to 25 children in the 2-5 year age group. With its own separate entrance in Hinton Road, it is run by well-qualified staff and offers a range of educational and recreational activities, including supervised trips to the local park, gardens, shops and the beach as well as to other nearby attractions. Schemes are in place to enable less well off, single parent families and children with special needs to benefit.

Teddy’s Place has been established for 10 years and is registered with the Local Authority’s Social Services and the Bournemouth Education’s Early Years Development Partnership as a provider of childcare. It is subject to regular inspection from both Social Services and Ofsted, and you are more than welcome to inspect our previous reports.

Teddy’s Place offers a friendly, stimulating environment in which children can develop and a carefully planned curriculum containing a full range of activities. Using a topic-based approach we promote learning in six key areas: maths, language, personal and social development, creativity, physical development with knowledge and understanding of the world. The caring, supportive and fun atmosphere ensures that children learn and develop while having fun and building relationships with adults and other children.

A day with us might include:

Use of the sports hall
Excursions and walks
Arts and crafts
Cookery
Computer and IT play
Large play apparatus
Books and toys
Circle time/music

Cooked meals are supplied at lunchtimes, and children staying on for the afternoon also receive a teatime snack.

Excellence does not have to equal expense! Our rates are reasonable and every penny is reinvested in the nursery or in the wider community work of the YMCA. Government funding can help reduce the cost even further.
