Newlands Early Years Centre opened in September 2021 after The Early Years Group took over from Footprints. The setting will continue to operate the same way it has done for over 40 years, enabling children to grow & develop to reach their full potential.
The setting is based within the grounds of Newlands Primary School in a purpose-built building, catering for up to 28 children aged between 2 to 5 years old. The centre is bright with lots of natural lighting, & a mixture of lamps & fairy lights to create a cosy, inviting space for children to play & learn with fully resourced areas inside & outside.
Each child has an assigned key worker who communicates closely with parents & carers to ensure they can follow the children's interests & development each day, giving them peace of mind that their child is in excellent hands. Each key worker has an allocated colour, which is reflected in their registration star so that they quickly become familiar with their key person & the other children in that group as well. As the team is small, all the staff know each child extremely well, & once the child is settled with their key person, they then build strong bonds with the rest of the team, who are familiar of where they are within their learning & development as well as current interests.
The setting is extremely fortunate to have access to a wrap around garden which has been separated into three different areas, one area for play with resources, woodwork, stories etc, one for scooters and ride on cars & the the third area for large loose parts. The centre is currently working with the primary school on site to develop a shared area into a sensory garden & have also secured a regular scheduled time to take the children to the schools playground and field.
Snack & lunch time are social occasions where there are discussions about the day and what to do next as well as sharing jokes from their yoghurts!

My little girl has settled in so quickly, it's like she's been there for years! The transition to here from a previous preschool was something I was quite nervous about, but I had nothing to worry about the staff has been nothing short of amazing.
The staff are friendly and approachable, with regular updates on the app. But most importantly my little girl is genuinely so happy here, seeing her thrive in such a nurturing and joyful environment means a lot.
Thank you for creating a place where little ones feel safe, confident and supported every step of the way. We're very lucky to have found this preschool and to continuing to watch my little girl go from strength to strength!

The staff are approachable and helpful, supporting with toilet training and always on-hand to offer any advice or guidance to help our little ones grow.
Communication is excellent and the staff keep us updated with any changes.
There have been several visitors to the pre-school as well as little outings to the library and to see the adjacent primary school Christmas production which is so lovely to have the little ones involved in.
The facilities are great with both indoor and outdoor spaces accessible to the children.
I highly recommend Newlands Early Years.

I don't have a bad word to say about Newlands Early Years Centre. Two of my children have attended Newlands and one still does. They have both thrived, the staff are friendly, approachable and all around fantastic with the children. They are always compassionate and not only care about the children attending the nursery but the whole family and will go above and beyond to accommodate. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for my boys. I highly recommend them.
I absolutely love Newlands Early Years Centre and all of the staff, 3 children through the doors in the last 7 years, and I have one more to join in a few years time.

I absolutely love Newlands Early Years Centre and all of the staff, 3 children through the doors in the last 7 years, and I have one more to join in a few years time. My 2-year-old is currently in 3 days a week and going full time in September, I couldn't imagine entrusting any other setting with my children. The learning is wide and varied and they always encourage all the children in the setting to try new things and to get involved with all the activities. They can't do enough for the children and the parents alike, communication is fantastic its just an all-around wonderful preschool for all children. And as it's next to Newlands School it's been a fantastic feeder for my 2 eldest children. I cannot recommend Newlands Early Years Centre enough.
My son has changed nursery due to moving house. He enjoyed his last nursery so I was worried about changing and had the dreaded mum guilt. From the moment we visited Newlands, he felt comfortable enough to walk off and explore with the staff without giving me a second thought. I knew from then he...
Since starting the nursery in September he has really enjoyed himself, the staff are all lovely, welcoming and encouraging.
My son has announced without being asked that his school is good and that he enjoys it. I feel confident and comfortable leaving him there and was thrilled when he said he prefers this school to his last. I would absolutely recommend this nursery/preschool.
We feel so lucky to have found Newlands. We moved our oldest son there in January 2023 after a bad experience in another setting. When he joined he was non-verbal, in nappies and really struggling with frustrations surrounding communication. Newlands was absolutely incredible at supporting him....
Our two-year-old is there now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind and they really care. I cry every time I take my oldest son back to pick my younger son up because the love they have for him is incredible. Thank you, Newlands!
