About this day nursery
Bright Beginnings Nursery, located in Skelmersdale, provides a warm and welcoming environment for children aged 0-4 years. Open all year round, Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, the nursery ensures children feel safe and secure, happily waving goodbye to parents and eagerly engaging in the day's activities.
Established in 2012, Bright Beginnings Nursery was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in its latest inspection on 18th July 2022. " The nursery continually reflects on its practices; a recent development includes a separate outdoor area for babies, providing younger children with continuous access to outdoor learning.
While the curriculum is ambitious and children generally make good progress, the nursery is working to strengthen its approach to ensure all children's abilities and developmental needs are consistently met, particularly in group activities. Staff also support children in learning about diverse experiences, including those of friends who speak English as an additional language, by learning key words to aid communication and foster a sense of inclusion.
Children at Bright Beginnings Nursery demonstrate good behaviour, learn "golden rules," and develop strong social skills through friendly interactions and respectful communication.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Occasionally, staff do not fully consider how they may adapt opportunities to meet all children's abilities and development needs, particularly in group activities. Therefore, some children do not benefit as much as others.
Outdoor space
Staff have recently developed a separate outdoor area for babies. Younger children now have continuous access to the outdoors, with greater opportunities to explore and extend their learning.
