Leaps and Bounds will be offering more spaces from September 2025.
This project is funded through the Department for Education in Partnership with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.
Because we believe that children should enjoy their day and all their daily experiences we provide a home from home environment where children feel confident and secure.
At Leaps and Bounds each child is allocated his or her own key worker as we find that this is the most effective method of monitoring the child's development and needs.
For children aged two, three and four years old funding can be used at Leaps and Bounds . Each child is entitled to a total of 15 funded hours per week, per term.
We also offer extracurricular activities such a music and movement, sport sessions and visitors such as ambulance staff, fire engine and firemen, police and a lollipop person. Also every year we have a duck hatching activity. The children get to watch the eggs hatch and help care for the ducklings - its always an amazing experience for the children and parents.
" My girls both went to Leaps and Bounds and enjoyed it so much they had so much fun playing & learning, the setting at Leaps and Bounds is the best I’ve seen with lovely areas for different types of play. My girls enjoyed lots of day trips with Leaps and Bounds they were well supervised, enjoyable and affordable. The staff are amazing and I felt confident leaving my treasures in their care. I could go on all day how fantastic I think this nursery is. It was the foundation that made my girls ready to go to school with confidence, being able to socialise, play kindly and enjoy playing & learning. I cannot reccommend highly enough. "
Leaps and Bounds strive to provide a well planned and organised stimulating environment which is secure, friendly and above all happy. By offering a safe setting where children can experiment, explore and make decisions for their own benefit we can encourage their development by stimulating their creativity through a variety of play and activities.
