Whether your child is napping at home or with us, we’re here to support you with some helpful tips for safe sleep...

Change is a natural part of life, especially in the early years. Whether it’s starting nursery, welcoming a new sibling or moving to a new home! These important changes can significantly impact a young child’s emotional and developmental well-being.

At WRAP Nursery, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive. One of the challenges we often encounter is biting—a common behaviour in young children that can cause concern for both parents and carers. Understanding why children bite and how to address this behaviour effectively can help alleviate worries and promote a positive atmosphere at home and in all settings.

As we approach the summer, our WRAP Nursery team is working hard to ensure that our oldest nursery children are ready for their next exciting adventure—starting school! Come September, they will be embarking on a new journey, joining various schools across the city. To make this transition as smooth as possible, we focus on equipping them with essential skills that will set them up for life.
