Toddler Town

An open-plan play space and a large garden shape Toddler Town’s offer in Hornchurch. Expressive arts, role play and exploration provide the main ingredients of the nursery day, with resources chosen around children’s interests and developing skills.

Toddler Town has capacity for 33 children aged two to five. No Ofsted inspection has been published for this setting yet.

Learning and Activities

The EYFS Statutory Framework for Learning and Development guides activities across seven areas of learning. For children, that means opportunities to develop language, movement and relationships alongside early literacy, mathematics, creative expression and understanding the world.

Questions are encouraged, and mistakes are treated as part of learning. The emphasis is on enquiry: children can explore ideas rather than simply receive answers. Role play and expressive arts give them different ways to communicate and experiment.

Outdoor and Community Life

A large garden provides space for active and imaginative play. Indoors, the open-plan layout supports movement between play opportunities, while resources respond to children’s interests. The open-plan layout gives families a concrete feature to consider alongside the garden.

Emotional development features in the planned day. Adults model ways to handle disagreements, cooperate and build friendships, giving children examples they can use in their own interactions. Managing emotions and developing confidence are explicit aims of the approach.

NURSERY KITCHEN supplies meals prepared by professional chefs, with an early-years nutritionist involved in their creation. Menus accommodate dietary needs and introduce flavours from different parts of the world, making mealtimes another opportunity to explore.

Sessions and Attendance

Toddler Town’s address is Hillview Meeting Hall, 9 Hillview Avenue, Hornchurch, RM11 2DN. Opening hours are 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday, with operation across 51 weeks of the year.

The contact form accepts enquiries, and a separate tour-booking form collects a child’s date of birth and the days a family requires. These provide practical starting points for discussing attendance.

• Shared play space. The open-plan layout is central to the offer. During a visit, consider how your child would respond to this arrangement and the garden.
• Age range. The current age range is two to five. Families seeking care for a younger child should establish whether their child can be accepted before making plans.
• Funding and total costs. What funded childcare arrangements apply to your proposed attendance, and how are meals and non-food consumables charged?

Toddler Town suits families seeking an open-plan nursery day with garden play, creative activities and an emphasis on language and relationships. Its meal partnership adds a concrete practical feature. The absence of a published inspection remains an important part of the decision, alongside whether the shared environment suits your child.
