Noah's Ark was delighted to be rated as 'Outstanding' in all areas of its work
by OFSTED which came to inspect the group in October 2009.
We encourage a very calm, gentle atmosphere which helps the children to be kind and
considerate to each other, learning from our teaching style.
Every child has a key worker assigned to them to ensure their well-being, and many start
to learn how to share and make friends for the first time.
Our activities are always fun and follow the requirements of the Early Years Foundation
Stage (EYFS).
We have done everything from making bear puppets, singing songs about goldilocks, and playing with oats in the sand tray, to doing
jigsaws, play dough and outdoor playtime.
Our staff team are well-trained; Gill Randell, Manager, is a qualified teacher and all our staff are required to have an NNEB or Level 3 NVQ in children-related work.
We aim for every child to become aware of the love of Jesus which they experience through songs and stories at the group.
Noah's Ark meets on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday every week, during term time, from 9:10 am until
12:10 pm at St James' Church Hall, Widney Close, Bentley Heath, Solihull.
Each session is £12.60 and we accept nursery vouchers for the term after children reach 3 years old, which are supplied by Solihull Council.
