Start Day Nursery - Doncaster Robin Hood AirportQuality Day Care 0-11yrs.Welcome
Flying
Start Day Nursery is Situated at the heart of the exciting development of
the Doncaster Robin Hood Airport. We opened this nursery due to the demand
generated from our first Nursery eight miles away, Coneygarth Farm Day Nursery
at Haxey. We were inspired to open our first nursery as we had three young sons
(triplets!!!) and as working parents we knew the difficulty of finding excellent
childcare.
Flying Start Day Nursery was opened in 2001 and is situated
at the heart of the exciting development of the Doncaster
Robin Hood Airport.
In January 2008 Flying Start Day Nursery was successful in
its application for funding through the Department for Children,
Schools and Families (DCSF) to work towards becoming a Workplace
Nursery, one of 8 in the UK. The funding will be used to extend
and completely refurbish the existing premises increasing
it’s capacity to 80 children.
Facilities at the new look Nursery will include; 3 large
activity rooms, a 12 place baby unit, large separate outdoor
place areas, vegetable garden, sensory garden, soft play area
and large grassed area. Within the Nursery there will be sliding
doors giving access to the outdoor area, in addition the large
open indoor play area will be accessible from all rooms. The
baby unit will be very homely, having its own kitchen area,
changing room and sleep room. It will also have the benefit
of under floor heating.
This exciting project will also include developing links
with local Businesses to enable them to offer their employees
Employer Supported Childcare in the form of ‘Workplace Nursery’
places. This can result in employees enjoying significant
savings on their childcare costs. Flying Start Day Nursery
will also continue to offer non Workplace Nursery places as
well as additional Nursery, Out of School and Holiday Playscheme
facilities in conjunction with it’s sister nursery Coneygarth
Farm . This provides local businesses with an all round childcare
solution for their employees. The 3D plans can be seen in
the photo gallery.
We have close links with our sister nursery at Coneygarth
Farm and the children go for trips there to see the cows and calves, ewe and lambs,
horses, chickens, dogs cats and kittens! There is always something to see. Martin
