About this day nursery

Aylesbury College Day Nursery is located in Aylesbury and provides care for children aged from one to four years. The day nursery is open from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5.30pm, all year round, except for bank holidays and a period at Christmas. Ofsted inspected the nursery on 17 January 2024 and judged its overall effectiveness to be Good. The inspector reported that children settle well, feel secure, and form strong relationships with staff, who provide flexible settling-in processes.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff provide a strong level of support to all children, including those who need extra help and support. They work very closely with parents and other professionals to understand and successfully meet the needs of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The managers understand their roles as the special educational needs coordinator very well. The provision for children with SEND is strong. Children have access to a sensory room and staff carefully plan tailored activities for them. For instance, staff provide 'bucket time' activities to promote children's language, listening and attention skills. They use additional funding successfully, including providing new experiences for children and meeting their individual needs.

Outdoor space

At times, staff do not fully consider how routines may impact on children's care and learning needs. For example, pre-school children waited for all their friends to get ready to go outdoors. This led to some children waiting, who were ready to engage in play.
