About Us
The Early Years Community ltd was founded in 2023 by three dedicated Directors, Lisa, Sarah and Sophie; who have 60 years combined experience working within the childcare sector. The Early Years Community works in partnership with The Early Years Academy Ltd, who operates an outstanding childcare setting in Derby city. We believe in delivering high quality childcare and education for all children regardless of individual circumstances, we believe that all children deserve the best start in life! We ensure that our nurseries are a great place to explore, learn and grow for all children, everyday.
The Early Years Community was founded by the community, for the community, with an aim of providing high quality childcare for families, enabling families to return to work, creating jobs for the local communtities that we serve and supporting young adults as they enter the childcare workforce, through placements and apprenticeships.
We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and that working together in partnership with parents/carers and other professionals only increases a childs chance to reach their full potential.
Our Ethos
A GREAT PLACE TO EXPLORE, LEARN AND GROW
Explore
We create environments full of awe and wonder where children are able to connect, explore and interact with the world around them. Our dedicated staff team support and extend children's natural curiosity to explore in safe environments.
Learn
We create opportunities and experiences where children are able to use all of their senses to enhance their play. Our approach of 'learning by doing' enables children to have a can do attitude and build their independence skills.
Grow
From babies to preparing for School we encourage children to grow into confident learners of the future. Our staff team work in partnership with families and other professionals to ensure every child grows to their full potential.
