Pathways Nurseries and Childcare Centres Ltd is a well-established (1989) family run group of children's nurseries offering an inclusive combination of high quality early education and childcare, to meet the individual needs of children and their families. Our provision is inspected by Ofsted and in our most recent inspections, all five of our settings were judged as being 'Outstanding'. At Pathways, every child matters and is treated as a unique individual. Our quality is based on strong leadership, clear inclusive principles and a drive for ongoing improvement. We work with and listen to parents/carers and other professionals, striving for every child to receive the best possible start and to reach their potential. Our settings are located in Solihull and Warwickshire.
In addition to the nursery provision we also offer some 'Out of School Provision' including breakfast club, after school club and holiday provision for children aged 3-11 years, known a Kidzones Pathways Kidzones. These meet all the national childcare requirements.
Our priority during the COVID-19 pandemic and national restrictions has been to maintain the health, safety and well being of our Pathways 'family' and community. We have and will continue to keep up to date with and follow the Public Health/ NHS guidance. We are committed to reducing the risk of transmission of infection through rapid testing, and robust risk assessments, whilst promoting the Prime Areas of learning and development in partnership with parents and carers. We are proud of how Pathways, staff, parents and our children have risen to the recent challenges and we have developed our own 'Road Map' as we travel forward from this difficult period. The children's resilience has been outstanding and they have been a credit to their families.
We look forward to meeting you and your child, subject to our COVID-secure visitor procedure.
