About this day nursery

Angels Childcare, located in Lincoln, offers a good educational environment where children aged 0 to 4 years old grow in confidence and independence. The nursery has successfully driven improvements and is a caring and safe place for children, having achieved a "Good" rating from Ofsted across all areas, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.

The setting aims to provide positive learning experiences that are both fun and purposeful, building on children's existing knowledge and skills. Staff thoughtfully plan resources and provide attentive teaching, with activities designed to increase in challenge and cover a range of learning and development topics.

For instance, babies and toddlers make connections between words and objects through story-telling with props, and older children begin to understand the important role of literacy through relevant books at activity stations. The curriculum is clear and age-appropriate, ensuring children build on their knowledge as they progress.

The nursery also excels in its provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with knowledgeable and trained staff making effective adaptations to teaching and the environment. This ensures all children can access the curriculum and make good progress, laying positive foundations for their transition to school.

The key-person system has been strengthened, with a greater focus on tailoring activities to individual learning needs, supporting children's emotional well-being and security. The nursery offers full day care, operating Monday to Friday, all year round, from 7:30 am to 6 pm.

Angels has been like a home from home for my children. It's an extremely friendly, caring and encouraging place for my son and we are always greeted with a smile and a genuine interest in his life The online learning journal they create is great and allows me to see what my boy is up to and how much fun he's having too. The staff are so helpful, accommodating and flexible. We love it xx

The staff are friendly, trustworthy, caring and go out of their way for everyone. We are so honoured to be part of the Angels family and cannot recommend them enough.

This is not just a nursery .....This is a family. Your not a customer or a client or even just the mum/dad of one of the children they care for your a member of angels. Our girls have been treated like the daughters of those who care for them. With all the love and attention they would show their own. We would recommend angels to everyone.
