Happy Days Nursery
In purpose-built facilities, Totton College provides a Social-services approved 40 place nursery for children aged between three months and five years old.
Happy Days Nursery is also open to the children of non-students and is available 50 weeks of the year.
Our Ethos
We strongly believe that children learn through the enjoyment of play and we actively promote their independence, including them in them in the decision making process throughout the day.
They are encouraged to care for themselves as well as other children and adults within the nursery. Every child is given the same opportunity to play, learn and develop.
We also aim to offer the children new and exciting experiences that they may not have elsewhere.
Our Aims
- To create a safe, caring and stimulating environment for all the children in our care.
- To actively promote the development of positive self image and self esteem within each child.
- To provide positive images of ethnic groups, abilities, cultures and genders through posters, books, toys,food and festivals.
- To provide an atmosphere that makes the child and parent comfortable within the nursery, enabling a strong partnership to develop
- To offer a variety of activities and opportunities that will enable the child to progress and reach their full potential
