About Us

Welcome To High House Nursery, Bishop’s Stortford
High House Nursery is a private nursery situated in a farmhouse, on the borders of Hertfordshire and Essex, near Bishop’s Stortford, close to Stansted Airport.
We are open full-time from 8am–6pm caring for children from three months to five years.
At High House Nursery we work in partnership with parents to achieve the best possible outcomes for all the children in our care. Our high-quality service ensures children develop socially, intellectually, culturally, physically and emotionally in a homely, caring and secure environment. Our environments and development programmes are tailored for each age range, providing a range of creative activities.
At The High House Nursery, we operate a Key Person system. Your child will have an individual Key Person who will observe progress and development. The Key Person approach gives every child the reassurance to feel secure and cared for, helping them to become familiar with the Nursery environment and to feel confident and safe within it.
They offer security, reassurance and continuity and are usually the one to support and soothe their key children where needed. They are in the best position to understand children’s individual needs and to share information with parents about their child’s experiences in Nursery. Parents and carers are a vital aspect of children’s learning and development. As the primary carer and educator for their child, it is essential that parents and carers play a part in nursery life and the care and education that takes place within the setting. Electronic Learning Journals are an efficient and effective method for parents and carers to be ever more involved and in touch with their child’s learning and development. Staff within the nursery routinely capture photographs and videos as part of their observation process. These are then enhanced with a description of the skills that are being demonstrated and the learning that is taking place, based on links made to the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Through an app on their smart phone, tablet or computer, parents and carers have 24-hour, unrestricted access to their child’s learning journey and all of the observations and assessments completed within it. Simply downloading the app and logging in via their registered details is all that parents need to do. To allow parents and carers to contribute even further, the home observation feature provides a means to share photos, videos and information with the setting that the Key Person can use to inform their individual planning for each child. Children learn skills and their interests can change rapidly, so a simple and effective way for parents and carers to share this information from home only strengthens the opportunities available to their child.
