The Meadow Nursery page on the Sure Start Millmead website is out of date. To help keep Thanet's information local web a bit more useful here is a short guide to which you are welcome to add additional information via the comments form.
Meadow Nursery is part of the Sure Start complex in Millmead, Dane Valley. Meadow Nursery is a purpose built Nursery featuring a large outside play area and a full compliment of dedicated equipment to help children learn while playing.
Meadow Nursery take children from a very young age starting with Buttercup Room. Meadow Nursery's Buttercup Room is for children under two years of age. It has dedicated staff, nap area and a seperate outside play area.
Meadow Nursery's Bluebell Room is specifically for children aged two to three years. After their third birthday children are eased into the ajoining room called Primrose Room. Meadow Nursery's Primrose Room is for children aged three years and above and they will be here until it is time to leave for school.
Meadow nursery constantly receive a very high offstead rating and have achieved a number of other marks of excellence. If Sure Start Millmead had updated the website in the last nine months I could tell you what they were exactly.
Statistically the nursery's results speak for themselves. Consultation with a local school showed that around half (about 50% although I lack the figures to hand) of children starting school were at or above the minimum level set out by national legislation and so forth. Meadow Nursery's outgoing children in that year had 97% at or above the level required with the remainder being made up of children with significant additional challenges and needs.
This result from Meadow Nursery is perhaps the best indicator that Early Years Intervention is effective and likely in the medium to long term to help break the cycle of poverty in Thanet.
