Carlisle Here at Parkfield Nursery , we provide professional childcare to children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Our owner, Anne Hooper-Brown, started the business in 1984, after 9 years of working in the childcare sector. Since then, the nursery has only expanded, and we now have 5 classrooms and 2 outside play areas for the children to enjoy.
Our Childcare Nursery Parkfield is run by friendly, professional women who will always put the needs of your child before anything. We always strive to have a close, positive relationship with all our children's parents and carers, so we can form a strong unit for the child to put their trust in. All of our childcare staff are fully trained in first aid, to ensure the children are safe, and to put your mind at ease.
"My little girl started at Parkfield at 9 months old. This was a very daunting experience for me but the reassurance from the girls made me feel much more relaxed and at ease. They are all highly dedicated and passionate. I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my little girl." - Rachel Farmer.

The Four Cs The Four Cs are something we try to remember when taking care of your children. They stand for:
CONFIDENCE - We must teach the child how to gain independence, how to feel secure, how to feel confident in leaving their parent/carer, and how to feel confident in their work: especially writing letters and numbers.
CONCENTRATION - We must teach the child how to finish tasks like jigsaws, games & creative activities, as-well-as how to listen to others during circle or story time.
CONVERSATION - We must encourage the child to socialise with both peers and adults, to listen & understand instructions, and to join in during "chat time".
CURRICULUM - We must plan and develop the curriculum so the children enjoy a wide variety of experiences.
By remembering these four pointers, we feel we can help each child reach their full potential. We want them to be able to start school feeling confident & able to socialise with others, as-well-as ready to learn.
Meals at Parkfield Nursery All the children's meals are freshly prepared, with their five-a-day always in mind. The lunches are spread across 2 courses and include both traditional foods and meals from other cultures. We know only too well how fussy children can be with food, but we've found that eating with their peers will encourage them to try new foods that they usually wouldn't at home.
We never serve anything processed or food and drink containing high levels of sugar or additives. We even have our own garden at the nursery, where we grow our own produce that is often included in meal times.
Each child is offered a nutritious snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. This always comes alongside a glass of milk or water; although water is available to the children all day via our water dispenser. Every time a child has a birthday, the birthday boy/girl bakes a cake with one of our staff and shares it with the other children at snack time. We've figured this is a great way to boost confidence, social skills, and to teach the children to share.
