Greenway is located in the heart of Hastings Town shopping area on good local bus and train routes. It is situated in the Hastings Town Family Hub which offers a range of services to families. It also benefits from having Alexandra park within a 3- minute walking distance. A 42 -place nursery Greenway offers all- year- round provision and some term-time only provision, supporting the different needs of children and their families.
Greenway has a lovely baby room which is cosy with a little private garden area. Both spaces offer a view of the older children at play which helps with the transitioning when the babies move through the nursery. The routine and environment is designed around the individual needs of the child.
In contrast the busy 2-5’s room has access to a small, but well- designed outdoor play space adjacent to the railway line which is a never ending topic of conversation as the trains go by. It also has a small, indoor quiet space for children to rest in. Offering a flexible service, the rhythm of the day changes from a fast moving core day between 9-3pm and slows down for those children staying later for tea.
Another unique aspect to Greenway is that the building site and nursery has very good accessibility both inside and out.
If you are looking for childcare to support your working patterns, a cosy homely environment for your baby or if your pre-schooler enjoys making friends, then Greenway is the place for your family.
