About this day nursery
ABC at Leeds FC, established in 2014, is an all-year nursery operating Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm, closing only for bank holidays and a week at Christmas. Serving children aged 1 to 4 years, the nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 8 December 2023.
Children settle happily into the nursery environment, forming strong bonds with staff, and engaging readily in play and learning. The setting offers a calming sensory area and a dedicated space for babies to explore.
The curriculum motivates children to play, explore, and make new discoveries, with activities such as creating pizzas to develop fine motor skills and using a parachute in the outdoor area for gross motor development. The nursery prioritises physical activity outdoors and includes trips to the local library to support children's understanding of the wider world and different cultures.
The Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCo) is highly skilled, collaborating closely with parents and the local authority to implement individualised plans. Parents consistently report that their children's needs are met, and they make good progress in their learning.
Our ethos
ABC at Leeds FC is dedicated to fostering development through play within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The nursery aims to encourage independence and provides individualised attention in a warm, family-like atmosphere.
