As a leading childcare provider in Colchester, we offer children the opportunity to play and learn in an exciting, inspiring environment, providing children with plentiful resources to explore learn and grow in a home from home atmosphere.
3 months up to two years
Our little explorers will learn and grow with us as they transition through our comfortable, bright and exciting rooms during their Safari Childcare adventure!
Our youngest explorers will join us in either our Cub or Tiger room, and they can will be nurtured during their time in this comfortable, home environment. Our early year’s educators will provide your little ones with the learning opportunities which will serve as the foundations for their early learning and development.
These early years are a critical time for your child, and establishing the foundation for their learning and development during this stage is our top priority, which is why we have designed our Cub and Tiger rooms as a safe environment that will facilitate this growth.
From 2 to 3 years
Once your little one turns two, they will be ready to continue their adventure to our Chimp room. Children in our Chimp room can continue to feel the same comfort and safety that they are used to, but now they will also have the opportunity to grow and develop their own unique character! Our little ones will learn about important topics such as sharing, empathy for others, and early mathematics and literacy skills based on the foundations set in our Cub and Tiger rooms.
3 + years
When our little explorers turn three, they can start their journey into our preschool room. Our preschool room enables children to continue to build on the skills and knowledge they will have gained in our Chimp room.
Our little ones are able to develop their confidence and independence with support and encouragement from our early years educators who will guide them through age and skill-appropriate experiments, games and social situations. By doing this, we are preparing your child for the next chapter in their life and ensuring that once they leave us for primary school, that they have all of the skills, knowledge and excitement that will allow them to flourish in this new environment.
We have carefully devised a scrumptious four-week menu that rotates to ensure that your child will not be given the same meal twice within this period. All meals are freshly prepared within the premises, and all diets are catered for.
Staff that prepare and handle food have all undertaken a food hygiene course, and children are highly encouraged to maintain a standard of hygiene when preparing for mealtimes by hand washing and ensuring surfaces are clean and covered.
Snacks are provided in a sharing tray so the children can choose what they would and would not like to eat, and although we encourage the children to try new foods, there is no pressure to do so.
Additionally, as all the snacks that we offer are all healthy, we can ensure that the children are getting goodness from whatever they decide to eat!
Really lovely nursery, everything you could ask for and so pleased to have found this nursery, my little girl loves it too! She’s learning new things every day, the food is all cooked fresh and my baby eats so well when she’s there! It’s great you can also gain access to the camera in the room so you can watch your little one playing and learning! Couldn’t recommend enough.
I couldn’t recommend Safari Childcare enough. My daughter who is 15 months started in February of this year and I was very nervous due to her only ever being looked after by friends and family. All the staff made us feel so welcomed and made the process so easy. They were always more than happy to answer any questions I had. The communication and details about what your child has been up to that day is amazing and the camera is a lovely additional bonus to keep parents minds at ease. Overall, I am so pleased we joined Safari!
We cannot praise Safari highly enough! Our son started Safari childcare in September and we are so impressed on how well he is doing since going regularly. The staff are lovely and my son is excited to go and is always smiling when we pick him up. We are so pleased with our experience with Safari and long may it continue!
