Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Does anyone know of a site where they list the names of day-care settings. We are in a new building and we need a name! Any wonderful suggestions that reflect community and lots of natural and outdoor resources?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I don't know about a list for names, maybe a google search for 'nursery' may come up with some. When I opened my group 5 yrs ago I wrote loads of ideas on a flip chart and mulled over them for a few days, adding and deleting. I ended up with Foundation Years Preschool ( after the FSC) However, because it is in a sense jargon to parents, I did find that a few would forget and taught their children to call it Peggy's Preschool, or Peggy's Place. Also because of the Preschool title not many parents think I am open all day (8:45-15:15) or take children aged from 2 years. So good question. names are so important and say so much don't they. Recently I took a photo of a child looking through a magnifier glass and my daughter said " If I had a preschool, I would call it "Little Explorers" which I thought really summed up what all the children do. Don't know if this would be suitable or found on any list though. Good luck, remember to mull over ideas for at least a few days, let us know what you come up with if you don't mind losing some anonymity on the forum.

Running Bunny Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I don't know of any lists, but you could do a yellow pages search for different areas to get some ideas. You could also check out the NDNA list of members for more suggestions. You could always run a competition in the nursery or community and get some publicity in the local press?

Marion Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 This might be a starting point http://www.near.co.uk/nursery-school/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Go on to this and do a Childcare Search in different areas to get an idea. How exciting coming up with a new name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 We need a name for our day care nursery. It needs to reflect quality, care ,community and a love of the outdoors. Is there such a name ? Maybe there is a site for names? Any inspiration from you brilliant people out there? Thanks Sunshine. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I actually like your name 'Sunshine'...maybe you could incorporate that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Bunny Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 There has been a request for this before but it won't let me link to it. If you do a forum search for 'nursery names' it will come up with the post. Hope that helps. Try and be original and not too obvious - especially as competition for places is high, a good/catchy name could help the business (on a superficial level) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
