Set in a beautiful detached property within the London borough of Havering, New Beginnings Nursery is the perfect choice for families in the Romford area seeking exceptional nursery facilities.
The nursery offers three bright and spacious rooms divided by age group. All rooms have been designed to focus on development through play and exploration, with first-class resources to support your child’s day.
New Beginnings provides children with a well-equipped outdoor space where they can play and explore. New Beginnings has close links with local schools, and we provide regular progress checks with the children to ensure they are well-prepared for the exciting transition to school.
Our environment, team, and nursery-to-home approach provide real opportunities to enhance children’s natural curiosity and focus on key skills, knowledge, and attitudes. We believe each child needs these for a happy, healthy, and successful life.
Bonnie Chalk
Bonnie, our Nursery Manager, has dedicated 15 years to New Beginnings. Bonnie's New Beginnings journey began at the Rainham branch in 2009 where she obtained her Level 2 and Level 3 Childcare qualifications.
Since then Bonnie has gained extensive childcare knowledge & experience, working with children from the baby room to pre-school. Bonnie completed her level management course and has been in her current management role since 2019. Bonnie continues to excel and develop every day.
Her passion for her job is evident, and she takes pride in building strong relationships with every family involved in the nursery. Bonnie delights in witnessing the children as they transition through each room, nurturing their unique personalities.
This room is full of a wide variety of educational toys, books, puzzles, construction resources, and sensory materials to stimulate the children’s senses and challenge their minds. For new children starting with us, we focus on building consistency and stability between home and nursery to ensure a smooth transition for the whole family, and a solid foundation for a wonderful relationship to begin between our family and yours.
In the Bluebell Room, we have a particular focus on allowing the children to lead their own learning using construction, role play, small world play, musical instruments, and natural resources. We also introduce numbers, colours, and letters to the children in a fun and engaging way.
We take advantage of the children’s ever-growing knowledge to prepare them for their next adventure in school. We fulfill this by instilling confidence, independence and encouraging curiosity and exploration through their play.
The snowdrop sensory room is a special room designed to develop a child's sense, usually through special lighting, music, and objects. It can also be used as a therapy for children with limited communication skills.

Parent Communication
New Beginnings nurseries are passionate about the link between nursery and home. We want parents to have the same enjoyable experience with the nursery as the children. We use our online Tapestry platform to record and upload observations of your child's experiences at nursery. We also encourage our families to upload observations on what they have been getting up to while not at nursery. We have daily updates via our care diaries on this app for children 2 and under. Parents can see their child's food/bottle consumption and toileting/sleeping information.
We also use our private Twitter page to post each day what the children have been learning and exploring that day and week.
Safety & Security
It is very important for all our families to know that their child is safe while at New Beginnings. We have several robust policies and procedures in place, all are available to view on our nursery website. These are followed to meet the exacting standards of Ofsted, building and fire regulations, food safety standards, and staff DBS background checks and references.
Our staff are given training during their induction and throughout their time with us at New Beginnings. If staff also wish to further their training in a particular area we can support them with this. We are also part of the Millie’s Mark Accreditation and ensure 100% of our staff are first aid trained.
Nutritious Mealtimes
All of the food we provide our children is prepared on site by our nursery chefs. Breakfast, morning snack, lunch and tea are provided and menus are rotaed every 3 weeks.
We have been awarded the soil assiocaition ealry years soil for life food accreditation for a menus and have taken part in the Healthy Early Years London accreditation and have been awarded bronze, silver and gold.
We pride ourselfs on ensuring children eat a well balanced, healthy and nutritious meals while at New Beginnings.
Key person approach
Every child has an allocated key person. The key person's role is to build relationships with your child and observe them to identify how they play, their next aspects of development, what they are interested in to support their learning and development, and whether there is any extra support needed for them.
Although all children are assigned a key person, all staff within the room take care of them and build strong relationships with them.
Watch us grow
Our 'Watch Us Grow' curriculum and its delivery ensures that children make good progress. Their individual identity is valued and our children are kind and caring, while also aspiring to be the best that they can be.
