Greenway Nursery

Uniqueness of Greenway Nursery

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.

                

The HALO Excellence Award:
Greenway nursery has been taking part in the Healthy Active Little Ones (HALO) programme and had the opportunity to apply for the Halo Excellence awards. As an Early year setting, we have been supporting the health and wellbeing of children, families and staff who attend our nursery.

I'm pleased to announce that we have Achieved the Halo Excellence award.

We have been recognised for our continued improvement and the embedding of best practice across a range of health and wellbeing areas, such as healthy eating, physical activities, oral health, children's well-being, independence, self-care, immunisations, speech, language and communication, and adult well -being. Staff took part in various training sessions and we were also chosen for a case study on speech, language & communication.

We will also be featured in the HALO Newsletter as one of the lucky settings who are the first to gain the recognition of this award.
 
Please see below comments from the HALO awards panel:
 
"The amount of work put into this programme through such a difficult time has been absolutely fantastic. As a setting Greenway Nursery have demonstrated a real drive to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of the children in their care and have worked well with parents, sharing information and upskilling knowledge."

- Taken from staff survey 2024

Over the 6 years I’ve been here my life really changed. Doing voluntary work I loved meeting people and making friends FSN is non-judgemental and caring.

- Volunteer survey 2023

I enjoy coming to PACT, meeting other parents so we can share our experiences, it helps us get out of the house too. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. When my baby is old enough for nursery I would like to volunteer to help run a group.
