Swansea Singleton

Victoria Richards, Nursery Manager

Despite being one of the larger sites, parents often comment on how calm and tranquil the nursery is. We pride ourselves on our nurturing environment and open play spaces for children to explore – even when we’re busy, there’s always an opportunity to relax and unwind and let our exploratory minds wonder and grow. Our peaceful place is undoubtedly in part, due to our lovely location, at the edge of Singleton Park with views beyond to the beach. Vicky and her team inspire children to have a genuine love for the outdoors and to feel excited about discovering more.  When Vicky is not in work she loves to have fun with her daughter and both seek mini weekend adventures together!

Vicky’s career has been one great adventure, with 20 years early years experience this has led to a journey of personal growth and fulfilment.  Passionate about Schoolhouse’s vision and values, Vicky and her team are here to make a real difference by putting children and their families at the heart of everything they do.

Building long term relationships with families has always been key at Singleton (although sad when they grow up and move on!) We pride ourselves on working in partnership with parents and love to welcome new families, create new connections and nurture children from tiny babies all the way up to our Playscheme children.

We’re so proud of our nursery.  Inside, we have created a friendly ‘home from home’ environment that invites our children to explore, try new things and spark their imagination.  Vicky’s favourite spot is in our cosy corners with a book! She spreads her joy of reading and the magic of books with our little people and will often be found sharing her favourite story “Finish the story Dad”.

Our indoor space

We’re housed in a local authority building with a beautiful atmosphere, having formerly been a primary school at the heart of the local community. As you enter you’ll be drawn by our natural colours, plants and earthy tones whilst the delicious smell of homemade cooking entices the taste buds!  Vicky further promotes her love of books by having a lending library for our nursery families to use.

Our open plan Under 2’s room offers a sensorial experience, equipped with lots of special learning opportunities for exploring and discovery. Toddlers and Pre school children benefit from large and airy play rooms with a wide range of inspiring play adventures.

Our outdoor space

The children are spoilt for choice with our outdoor facilities as they have a large enclosed outdoor play space with partial safety flooring from which we are fortunate to have beautiful views of Singleton park and the beach.  The children enjoy summer picnics and creative messy play.

All children enjoy time to explore, imagine, create and be physical during our daily outdoor activities.   We have a dinosaur pit, mud kitchen and sand area with diggers, and with close proximity to the park the children frequently go on woodland walks and nature trails – scurrying squirrels often greet us as we play!

Free car parking bays offering convenience for drop off so there’s no stress before the day begins!
