Wellbeing

At Sweet Peas, we teach children the importance of living a healthy lifestyle from a very young age. Menus are carefully planned to include a balanced diet of locally sourced wholesome produce and our free flow system (available to our 3-5 year olds) allows children secure access to the outdoor play area at their leisure.

Fresh home-cooked meals prepared every day

All our food is freshly prepared daily in our 5-star commercial kitchens from locally sourced produce. And it’s really yummy!

Meal times are a social occasion at Sweet Peas and all children and practitioners wash their hands before each meal and sit down together. If little ones have their breakfast with us they are encouraged to brush their teeth afterwards.

Our mealtimes are another opportunity for our children to socialise with their key person and friends. The children learn how to eat together, feed themselves and even more reluctant eaters will try the foods they see their friends eating. We encourage babies to explore food, reflecting individual preferences for both purees and finger foods and support baby led weaning.

We cater for a variety of dietary requirements and love to introduce new tastes and textures, incorporating lots of fruit and vegetables at every meal time, which will benefit the children for the rest of their lives.

A variety of healthy snacks, milk and water are offered throughout the day to help improve concentration, growth and development.

Exciting outdoor area

Children love the outdoors and being active plays a key role in staying healthy. Our outdoor activities and games aim to build on abilities, confidence, physical strength and rules. And sometimes it helps to just burn off excess energy!

Our colourful, welcoming garden is designed with a child-friendly, all-weather surface. The garden is used to provide fun, exciting activities and a wealth of new learning experiences for all children from babies up to 5 years of age.

It might be messy play, obstacle courses or improving their cycling skills on our range of bicycles. Whatever their interest, all children have regular access to the outdoors throughout the day, and our 3-5 year olds have access at all times via our free flow system. Playing outdoors after dark can be very exciting for children giving them the freedom to explore and use their senses. It helps them to develop not just physically but mentally as well.

Happy Parents

Lucie has thoroughly enjoyed her time at sweet peas, I have seen her grow and learn so many things while been here. I feel her speech came on really well with her being able to mix with older children in the family room too. She has learnt to be independent which I believe is a big thing going on to school. I am sure she will miss going and some of the friends she has made. Thank you so much to you and the Sweet Peas team for looking after my little girl and guiding her to be the best person she can be. I will be sad to see her leaving, making it more real that she is growing up! Thanks again.

Could you also please pass on my thanks to all the staff in the baby room especially Megan and Bell who have been so lovely to deal with during Bella’s time at sweet peas.

Nicola Robinson

I would like to thank yourself and your team for looking after Charley for the past 3 years. Thank you.

Nichola Rhodes

He has really loved his time with you and I am very grateful for that. Thank you.

Penny Rowe

Isla has been at Sweet Peas since she was 6 months old and we have been so happy with the nursery and all the staff – thank you all so much!

Rachel and Andrew Roo

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent care and teaching Rory has received whilst attending Sweet Peas Nursery. I know he has thoroughly enjoyed his time with you, all the activities he has taken part in and all the friends he has made. The facilities at the nursery are lovely and I hope that Rory’s brother or sister will be able to attend the nursery next year.

Rebecca King

Alfie has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Sweet Peas and his Dad and I are more than pleased with the standard of care Alfie has received whilst with you. Alfie has gained so much over the last 18 months, both socially and academically. We are due to have our second baby and we will not hesitate to bring them to you when we feel the time is right. Many thanks to you and your staff, especially Emily and Laura.

Vanessa & David Stead

I can’t believe Luke only has 1 day left at Sweet Peas, time has gone so fast! He has really enjoyed his time there and we have been really happy with how well the boys are looked after. I’m sure Luke would love to come to the leavers party my mum is looking after him that day as his school nursery has a training day so I’m sure she will bring him along! Thanks see you soon.

Vicki

I would like to thank Sweet Peas for the support you have provided to William over the past two years. He has built some strong bonds with the nursery staff and often chats about Rachel, Emily and Laura at home. I have noticed a marked improvement in his development since joining nursery which would not have happened if he had been looked after by family members alone. I am excited about the next chapter in his life but will be sad to say goodbye to lovely people at Sweet Peas. I have recommended the nursery to all our friends as a lovely environment for children.

We are very happy with the welcome we've had - Chloe and Caroline have both been absolutely fantastic! You are very lucky to have such a great team :) I'm sure Stella will have a great time at your nursery.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Sweet Peas, it will be a sad day on the 19th July. I would like to also say a special thank you to both Emma and Lindsay who have been (and still are) fantastic with Luna - In the early days I wouldn't have made it to work without Lindsey. And now, the feedback and support I get from Emma is outstanding, she truly is a credit to your team.
