Information
We're Here to Help.
At Scribbles, we pride ourselves on being a support system for our families, and thrive to be a place anyone can learn, discuss and access further support for any child in their early years journey. We feel information should not only be free, but accessible - and that's what this page is for! We aim to answer any questions in regard to nursery happenings, childhood development and more. Now, what are you looking for?

When you sign up your little one you agree to our policies, in which we cannot permit these 10 foods into the nursery due to allergies and choking hazards. High risk foods such as grapes should be cut accordingly to ensure children's safety in the setting.

Jelly Cubes
Our Uniform
Does your little one love to get messy? We at Scribbles have a uniform just for that! We work closely with Harrison's School Wear on Southtown Road to ensure you have options, even in colours - yellow or black! Our Uniform is optional but a great way to promote school readiness in our little ones.
Our Apps
We use 'Nursery in a Box' to keep communication between practitioners and parents, for invoicing, holidays and more!
We use 'Tapestry' to track children's progress. We use the app to upload observations and keep track of developmentally phases and progressions, so you can see exactly what your child is learning with us! We also use the app to log any nappy changes, food intake and more!
What to Bring to Nursery
When you bring your little one to nursery, they will need a few things to help them through their day, such as:
-
Spare clothes fit for the weather outside (we love to get messy!).
-
Medication to be given to the office (if needed).
-
Packed lunch.
-
Comfort item (if needed).
-
Wipes, nappies and/or cream (if needed).
Things needed in the summer; a hat, sun cream and spare socks.
