About Us
Our story, our approach, our heart
Our Story
Bojangles Day Nursery was established in 1994 and has been a cherished part of the Baschurch community ever since, providing exceptional childcare for families across Shrewsbury and North Shropshire.
With 35 places and a team of nine qualified practitioners — including staff with Level 6, Level 5 and Level 3 early years qualifications — we've created a nurturing home-from-home where every child is encouraged to be themselves. Our management team has a strong vision for the nursery and continually reflects on our provision to identify areas for development.
Partnerships with parents are at the heart of what we do. Parents tell us that our staff are “friendly and supportive” and that their children are “happy and settled.” We share your child's experiences through our online learning journey, so you never miss a moment.
Our Approach
We believe in learning through play, exploring nature, and nurturing each child as an individual.
Learning Through Play
Play is at the heart of everything we do. Staff promote a love of storytelling, using props to spark imagination and recall. Children become absorbed in mathematical concepts through sand and water play, learning about empty, full, bigger and smaller. Children’s engagement in activities is good because our staff know every child very well.
Nature & Outdoors
Children have regular opportunities to exercise and be active outdoors. They access movable climbing and construction materials in the garden, delight in running up and over the grass hills, and explore nature every day. Toddlers push themselves along on ride-on toys, and babies develop their balance using walkers and soft-play equipment.
Individual Care
Every child is unique. Our key person approach ensures each child receives personal attention and support. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported particularly well — all our staff have completed sign language training to aid communication with children who need extra assistance.
