Business Update - The Sign Is Up

This month we have been busy collaborating with the various governmental agencies, in particular, The Care Inspectorate, ensuring we meet and indeed exceed the strict standards laid down in their registration process. As part of this, extensive alterations will be undertaken on the premises. The aim is that we provide the ideal layout, environment and facilities for our staff and children.

We are delighted to report that our “Building Warrant” application was approved by the City Council Planning Department on the 10th May. In addition, the Care Inspectorate has informed us that we have completed the first phase of registration. Whilst we are on schedule to open in the second half of the year, it should be emphasised that we are not yet advertising an opening date.

An area of focus for May has been the nursery garden and its facilities. Our large, safe and secure garden will offer endless opportunities for our children to partake in outdoor activities. One such activity will be growing vegetables and herbs in our allotment, whilst learning how to care for our environment.

The development of our website www.flyingcoloursnursery.co.uk is on-going. Features will be continuously added as we progress through the registration process and details become available.

Although not confirmed, several details are in the process of being finalised. 

• It is envisaged that Flying Colours will open from 8am – 6pm Monday – Friday. 
  
• Meals will be prepared on the premises in accordance with our healthy eating policy.
  
• Charges will be in line with other privately operated nurseries. 
  
• Flying Colours will apply for partnership status to offer 600 pre-school education hours to eligible children.
