About Us
Riverside Community Day Nursery (formerly Riverside Children’s Centre) was established in 1980 by a group of parent volunteers based at the community hut in Alexandra Gardens and initially started as a term time playgroup. In 1984 the nursery became a day nursery and moved to our current site at Cavendish Primary school.
We are situated within the leafy grounds of Cavendish Primary School and are ideally linked between the school’s nursery and reception class.
We are a non-profit voluntary organisation with registered charity status. We are managed by a trustee committee who is made up of volunteers who oversee the important issues regarding the nursery.
As well as the committee there is a Manager, a Deputy Manager, 5 childcare members of staff and a cook who run the daily routine in the nursery.
Our Values
Riverside Community Day Nursery is committed to providing Equal Opportunities and inclusion for all children and their families. We strongly believe that no child should be excluded from activities on the ground of gender, class, family status, means, disability, colour, ethnic origins, culture religion or belief. We always encourage good manners and respect for all.
Facilities
Our nursery is purpose built and comprises of one large nursery area, where a portion of the room is divided for children aged between 15-24months. We have a separate room that is used for group work, quiet time and if your child requires a sleep in the afternoon, it transforms into a sleeping zone to get some well-deserved rest for an hour or so.
A full kitchen area that overlooks the nursery floor, with a divided door attached, is where all the home cooked meals are prepared and served from.
There is a large colourful bathroom with nappy changing facilities and 3 child sized washbasins and toilets.
We have one large outdoor garden play area at the front of the nursery, where there is a wide variety of outdoor equipment for the children to experience and explore their outdoor physical needs. There is a mud area with various tools and logs to enable the children to investigate, a large sandpit area to explore and a balancing beam and a small rolling hill. To explore water play, we have a water butt for the children to access.
To encourage the children to learn about food sources, we have a growing area where we plant and grow our own vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, green beans, strawberries, carrots and a flower bed.
