Registered with Ofsted on March 27, 2024, the day nursery prides itself on fostering an environment where children thrive and develop independence. The setting promotes a "can-do" attitude, encouraging children to take pride in their achievements, such as confidently navigating stairs or managing their own coats. Communication and language skills are supported through interactive songs for younger children and opportunities for older children to express complex ideas. The nursery has a strong focus on inclusion, with staff actively identifying and meeting individual needs, particularly for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They adapt teaching approaches and resources, such as a sensory tent funded by the early years pupil premium, to ensure all children can make choices and learn alongside their peers. The nursery also prioritises children's welfare and emotional wellbeing, utilising tools like "feelings cups" and incorporating discussions about personal safety and healthy eating. Parents speak highly of the nurturing environment, noting effective communication through daily handovers and an online app, which strengthens the home-nursery partnership. What it's like Children thrive at this warm and welcoming setting, settling in with ease and confidence due to secure, trusting attachments with the nurturing staff team. They delight in sensory exploration, investigate the properties of ice, and learn to manage their own coats and select water bottles. Children are safe and secure, exploring suitable outdoor areas freely and developing physical confidence.

My little boy has been attending for just over a year, and in that time he has learnt so much and continues to develop beautifully. He’s always so happy there and greets every day with a big smile. The staff are all wonderful—so friendly, caring, and welcoming. I felt completely at ease returning to work, knowing he was in such good hands. They’re also incredibly accommodating, especially when I’ve needed to add an extra day at short notice. I would absolutely recommend Ashbourne Day Nursery to anyone looking for excellent childcare!
