Welcome to Tick Tocks Day Nursery in the South Dorset towns of Charmouth and Axminster.

Tick Tocks Day Nursery is jointly run by Lynn Knight and Alison Coleman. The Nursery is registered by Ofsted, and will be run following the standards and guidelines laid down by them. Our main aim is to provide a happy, caring and secure atmosphere where children learn and develop to their full potential through play and structured activities.

Tick Tocks Day Nursery first opened in Charmouth in September 2002, and is registered for 18 children. In February 2005 we opened a second nursery in Axminster, Devon, which is registered for 35 children. Some of our staff work between the two nursery’s and use their experience and knowledge to ensure we provide a home from home atmosphere within both settings.

Axminster is a great location for Tick Tocks, we take full advantage of being near the library, park and railway station and have regular outings to them. The building has two levels, upstairs includes our Pre–school room, bathrooms, sleep rooms and office and the spacious downstairs area is divided into a playroom, bathroom, cloakroom and food/messy area which opens out onto the garden.

We provide day care for 0–6 year olds enabling parents and carers to either return to work, study or simply have a well earned break whilst allowing their children to have fun and interact with others.

Lynn and Alison are both parents themselves and appreciate the anxiety parents have when leaving their children in the care of others. We both take an active role in the nursery and like to get to know the children who attend. When we cannot be on the premises the Supervisor’s are in charge of the nursery and staff. We constantly monitor the staff and children to ensure you are getting the best care possible. We offer an open door policy so if parents have any worries or would like to discuss their child with us please do so.

Throughout the day there will be a number of activities for all the children to become actively involved in should they wish to do so. All of these activities will be planned with the age and stage of development of the children in mind, to help them to progress to their next stage of development. Children will be able to take home their work that they have created during the day. They will have worked hard on these creations and your praise will give them all the encouragement they deserve.

Child Protection.....

The needs of the children always come first. Should we, at any time become concerned with the child’s emotional and physical state, then we will pass our concerns to the relevant professional bodies
