An Ofsted registered Good setting - Fit ‘N’ Fun Kids@ Daisy Fays Nursery was launched in 2001 and has continuously provided a high-quality childcare service to our families. Fit 'N' Fun Kids@Daisy Fays Nursery strives to go above and beyond the minimum standards set by Ofsted, regularly reflecting on and developing practice and provision. The embedded ethos ensures that a warm, caring and nurturing atmosphere is consistently established, creating a home from home environment for our children and families. We have a team of dedicated and caring staff, who hold a range of qualifications, ranging from apprentices to Experienced Early Years Teachers, who will place your child’s welfare at the centre of all that they do.
As childcare providers we understand that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their own unique potential. Children develop quickly in the early years, experiences provided between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood full of experiences is paramount. We get to know each and every family, establishing trusting relationships and sharing feedback relating to your children’s achievements and experiences daily. This is provided both face to face and via our nursery software app.
The baby room, Chirpy Chicks, offers two separate areas, one for younger children and one for the children as they start to become more inquisitive. There is a calm sleep room and stimulating surroundings for your baby to learn and grow. The learning environment and activities are planned and delivered by qualified and experienced practitioners who understand how babies learn and develop.
When children turn 2, they transition to the toddler room, Happy Hens, where they are given the time and space to have greater control of their own learning and are encouraged to find their own way of doing things. We believe this empowers them to become confident, inquisitive, and creative individuals. They have access to an all year round outside space where they can develop and explore in different ways.
At 3, the children move to our preschool room, Rising Roosters, where they can develop and extend their development to become independent learners and explorers and confident to communicate. They have access to an outside space, including an area dedicated to forest school style learning with resources such as a mud kitchen, planters, watering cans and drainpipes, and 3 rooms where there is a variety of stimulating and interesting activities planned by the staff of teachers and practitioners. Rising Roosters are getting ready to transfer to reception year and we work together with parents to make sure that the children are well equipped, with the skills to deal with the new challenges they will encounter.
Because children learn most effectively when they’re having fun, we focus on learning through purposeful play. Playful learning can exist in many forms – child-initiated, adult-led, individually, within a group etc. Our team enhance learning through providing support, prompting children to develop thinking, using open questions, and encouraging children to overcome any challenges experienced throughout the day. Your child’s key person will identify each stage of your child’s development and support them through every fascinating and exciting adventure, enabling development at their own pace. We embrace child-led learning, which ensures all our children are interested, motivated and captivated by the experiences we develop and explore together.

Early Years Local Offer response
- Systems and strategies we have in place to identify children that may require additional support
We work closely with our parents in settling our children into the setting and gathering information about their child. A baseline assessment is undertaken within 6 weeks of your child settling with us. This baseline assessment indicates the stage of development the child is currently at and with regular observations, we will track the child's progress to ensure they are meeting their developmental milestones and at which time, we will be alerted to any additional supported needed. We have strong relationships with external agencies where we can access further support if required and also ensure our staff attend regular training in all areas of child development to support needs.
- How we identify and support children's learning and development needs
All our teams support the individual needs of our children. This is undertaken by a key person who is assigned to each child to observe and track their progress. We follow the EYFS and Characteristics of Learning Photographs are taken and added to the Online App which capture the exciting and important moment of each child’s development. We work with an ethos of right here right now which means that although we undertake medium and long term planning, we can adapt this for each individual child, each session, based on what is happening right now in that child’s life and/or what is happening in the world around them. Such planning is put together knowing what each child’s next step is and adapted each session to support and develop each child’s individual needs. If necessary this also ensures that we access internal and external support from professionals to meet additional needs, all of which is undertaken with parental consent.
- Links we have to other agencies
We have strong relationships with external professionals and access their support when necessary and with parental consent.
- How we support children transferring to school
We prepare our children for the transition to school by liaising with Reception Teachers of our local schools. This includes inviting Teachers to our setting, our Early Years Teacher visiting each school, supporting visits with children and parents to taster sessions prior to leaving our setting. Our Early Years Teacher ascertains the learning the children will undertake in relation to number work and phonics to ensure that we are preparing them for a smooth transition to school and a new learning environment.
Learning and development
- Specialist skills or training our staff have
At Daisy Fays Falmouth, training and continued professional development is key to ensuring our staff are kept up to date with childcare knowledge. This includes internal and external training, bespoke to our setting around leadership and management and child related practice. We share best practice and also work with a External Childcare Professionals to ensure our training, particularly around safeguarding, parental engagement and staff development is of high quality. When required, our staff have accessed specific training in relation to the needs of the child. Full details of our staff training can be provided.
- Support we offer regarding children's health and well-being
This setting has access to an outside area which we will use as a free flow option. This space allows children to move and enjoy physical activities, experimenting with different resources. Educating the children on how exercise make them feel and why this may be.
We monitor closely the children's emotions, absences, attachments and relationships and within our child-led learning, supporting the children's understanding of their feelings and emotions.

Within the curriculum, incorporated in the planning each week would be educating the children on how to develop independence, awareness of their own needs, managing risk.
Encouraging and modelling positive interaction and relationships.
We work closely with our families and signpost to further areas of support.
- Ways we inform parents about how their child is being supported
Parents play a key role in their child's development and we ensure we are inclusive in sharing each child’s progression both in the home and at the setting. We do this by forming strong, open relationships with parents, this is initially developed by the settling in sessions, providing the opportunity to get to know our families. Parents are given the opportunity to stay with us during this first session, using this time to share information about their child's experiences etc. and this enables parents to ask questions during this important time. We evaluate the impact and experience of settling in sessions and provide further follow ups in the first few weeks to ensure parents feel they have been included and consulted. We provide daily feedback verbally and also update the Eyparent (nursery software) and our social media platforms / parent closed groups regularly to support forms of communication. Parents evenings are held, where children's learning journey, progress, next steps and the support we are providing are shared and discussed. We also invite parents to celebrate learning and achievements such as pre-school graduation and Christmas nativities, to showcase how we have supported our children's development and provide the opportunity to share this with the parents.
