Learning Activities
Music Teacher for all ages
Children at Scallywags have the input of a specialist Music teacher, Mary, formerly of Music Play Time. Mary specialises in teaching music to children up to the age of 9 but is otherwise a qualified teacher.
Outdoor Play
Our large garden is reached by going through the jungle walk and is situated at the back of the nursery. There is an outdoor toilet block for the children’s convenience and rainy day wear and umbrellas so that they can enjoy outdoor play come rain or shine.
The area has been specifically designed to provide fun learning opportunities. Imaginative open and covered play equipment allows the children to enjoy outdoor play in most weathers and provides special little places for them.
Communication
There are plenty of opportunities for children to learn a new language and communicate with each other as we have small group - focussed activities which involve story sacks, rhyme time and sharing toys.
Every day, both the toddlers and babies participate in Music Playtime, which all of the staff have been trained to deliver by our qualified music teacher, Mary who also visits us once a week.
Baby Yoga
We have a qualified baby yoga co-ordinator for the under 2’s. We feel it is very important for all children, including young babies to be able to express themselves. Our babies love the quiet time, the stretching and the physical activity of learning some basic yoga moves with our staff and discovering what their bodies can do.
So when you come to pick up your child or just to visit, you may walk into a room with lots of bums in the air. Please don’t be alarmed, it’s only our baby yoga class! You may even want to join in!
Parents' Testimonials
I can't recommend Scallywags enough. Our little boy has loved it from when he started six months ago. The staff are all amazing; he has formed lovely relationships with those he sees on a regular basis and they seem to genuinely like having him there too! Best nursery in Sheffield.

My little boy absolutely loves it here. The staff are amazing. He has settled in perfectly.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, out of the 10+ I went to see it was a cut above. Now he has been going 6 months I can safely recommend highly.
