About Serendipity's Day Nursery
Serendipitys Bingham operates from two neighbouring properties
on the popular Nottingham Road in Bingham, a shared car park
amalgamates the separate buildings.. Our care is based around the
fact that every child is unique and cherished and our warm and
caring staff team offer high-quality childcare that is tailored to
every child's individual needs. Routines and activities are planned
to ensure that each child achieves their full potential.
Children in the nursery are separated into 4 rooms based on their
age and level of ability. The decision to move children to the next
room is based on a discussion between staff and parents when one
or the other feels the child is ready. There is a fantastic 40msq
purpose-built indoor "soft-play" room which the children share. We
also have extensive outdoor areas which include a mud-kitchen,
large sand-pit, planting and growing areas, safety-surface and a
wonderful natural area where Pre-School children participate in
Forest-School activities. We also make use of the wider community
with walks and outings to local parks and places of interest.
