Safety and security parents can trust
The nursery is Ofsted registered and every member of staff is DBS vetted, so your child is always in capable and caring hands. The building uses the latest safety and security systems, including access controls and CCTV, keeping the setting secure throughout the day.
Through our Millie's Mark accreditation, all staff are trained in lifesaving paediatric first aid, a standard held by only a small number of nurseries. It is one of the reasons Leyland and Chorley families choose The Hub with confidence.
Learning through the Early Years Foundation Stage
In Upper Buckshaw, our preschoolers follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which provides all of the education required for starting school. Children learn through structured play, building the confidence, independence and early skills that give them a strong start in reception.
Progress is tracked closely. Each child is assessed between the ages of two and three, and again before they complete the EYFS, so parents always know how their child is developing. Discover more about the wider Hub with our Buckshaw nursery in Chorley and preschool in Chorley pages.
