Helping young minds evolve & shine
Established in Redditch in November 2000, Rhymes Nursery subsequently opened two further settings in Dudley (2008) and Quinton (2012).
About Us
Although there are significant differences that are dictated by each settings location, the ethos of providing quality care in a home from home environment that meets the individual needs of all our families remains prevalent and the number one priority across all three settings.
Owner Judith Partridge, a childcare practitioner with 32 years’ experience oversees highly capable and experienced management and childcare teams that take immense pride not only in the quality of care provided but also their compliancy with OFSTED, government legislation, safeguarding (children and staff) and providing a comprehensive curriculum that ensures all children learn and develop consistently, ready for a smooth transition in to school.
Safeguarding Statement
Safeguarding and Child Protection are paramount within Rhymes Nursery. The most important responsibility we have as an early years setting, and as individual practitioners, is to safeguard and promote the welfare of every child within our care.
At Rhymes Nursery we maintain a safe environment in which children feel safe and secure. Children are confident to express their emotions and ask for help / support. We undertake to safeguard the children and staff from harm and abuse at all times.
Please see our Safeguarding Policy. Safeguarding information is displayed within each room in order to explain the procedure followed if ever a concern or issue is raised.
We build strong safeguarding foundations within each child through learning about and being aware of their own safety and personal wellbeing.
We adhere to the ‘Safer Recruitment’ guidelines and we have a robust vetting and recruitment procedure. All staff and students are vetted which includes full reference and identification checks. All staff, volunteers and students hold enhanced DBS Disclosures. We have a robust induction process for all staff and students which includes a probationary period. All staff are subject to regular supervisions and appraisals.
