Welcome to the Top Nursery in Newark

Serendipitys Newark operates from a large Victorian detached house on Appleton Gate, Newark.

Serendipitys Newark operates from a beautiful Victorian house on Appleton Gate, Newark. We are situated opposite Newark Northgate train station and less than ½ mile from the historic Newark town Centre. A private car park at the rear of the property provides ease of drop-off and collection. Children are cared for in 3 different room based on their age and level of ability: Babies (0-2’s), Toddlers (2-3’s) and Pre-School (3-5’s). We also have an exceedingly popular soft-play room which all children access.

Outdoors we have 2 large play areas, one which is shared by the Under 3’s rooms which includes a safety-surface area along with a mud-play area. Pre-School children have patio doors leading directly to their outdoor area which includes a mud-kitchen, planting and growing garden and large sand-pit. We also make use of the wider community with walks and outings to local parks and places of interest. 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.

Our aim is to give all children the best possible start to their early education. We do this by providing the highest level of care in a warm, loving environment so that they feel safe and secure to seize the opportunities provided for them. Our skilled and friendly staff team establish warm relationships with children and their families to ensure each child’s learning is tailored to their individual needs and interests. Each room in nursery has been designed to create a warm homely feel with resources and play equipment which encourage children to explore and investigate and make their own little discoveries. We are guided by Ofsted regulations and the requirements of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Fees

We are open Monday to Friday for 52 weeks a year, with the exception of all Bank Holidays and the afternoon of Christmas Eve and New Years Eve (if they fall on a weekday)

Fees are due on the 1st of the month in advance. It is the childcare place and not a child’s attendance that is charged, fees are calculated over 52 weeks.

A late payment fee of 15% of the outstanding balance will be applied to fees not received by the 7th of the month. Non payment or repeated late payment may affect your child’s place.

We do not make any deductions for non attendance due to Bank Holidays, sickness or holidays. However, we do offer an alternative session for bank Holiday and Festive half day closures 2 weeks either side of the date (subject to availability).

Two Year Funding
We are registered with the local authority to access 2-Year-old Funding and provide Free childcare for eligible children. Two year funded Free childcare is provided as 15 hours per week term-time Free of Charge (15 hours x 38 weeks = 570 hours per year) or as 11 hours per week all year round (11 hours x 52 weeks = 570 hours per year) Free of charge.

Nursery Education Funding for children over the age of 3 is provided by Nottinghamshire County Council. Universal entitlement of 15 hours (570 hours per year) is stretched and offered as 11 hours per week over 52 weeks. The extended entitlement of 30 hours (1140 hours per year) is stretched and offered as 22 hours per week over 52 weeks. We offer a limited number of term-time only places.
