FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right setting for your child is a big decision, and we want you to feel completely confident in your choice. Below, we’ve gathered answers to the questions parents ask us most. If there is anything else you’d like to know, our door is always open please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What are your opening hours, and do you offer extended care?

While our standard nursery day runs from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, we know that modern family life doesn’t always fit. For those who need a little extra flexibility, we offer our Early Birds session starting at 7:30 am and our Night Owls session which runs until 6:00 pm. You can mix and match these to create a schedule that works perfectly for your family.

What is on the menu at White Stork, and how do you handle nutrition?

We believe that healthy bodies lead to happy minds. Our menus are carefully designed to meet and exceed government nutritional guidelines, featuring freshly made meals prepared with high-quality local produce. While we stick to the basics of balanced nutrition, we love to broaden our storks' horizons with an enhanced global menu, introducing them to delicious flavours and textures from around the world.

We’ve enjoyed our tour! What are the next steps?

We are so glad you’ve chosen to join our family! Once you’ve decided to fly with us, the journey begins with a home visit. This allows your child to meet their key person & buddy in the environment where they feel most confident. Following this, we begin our tailored settling-in process, where we work closely with you to ensure your child feels safe, secure, and excited to start their nursery adventure.

What are the different areas of the nursery?

We offer a spacious open-plan nursery designed to grow with your child. For our littlest ones (under 2), we have a dedicated Hatchlings Area a cozy, sensory-rich space for early development. As they grow, children move into our Main Nursery, which is filled with endless resources and activities designed to spark curiosity and learning. The fun continues in our Outdoors Area, where children can explore the fresh air and enjoy nature every single day!

What are the staff ratios and what do they mean for my child?

Safety and individual attention are our top priorities. We strictly adhere to government-mandated ratios, which ensure there are enough adults to provide the care and education every child deserves. But at White Stork, it means more than just numbers; it means your child will always have a dedicated pair of hands to help them, a friendly face to encourage them, and a trained professional to guide their unique learning journey.
