About this day nursery

Brightstart Day Nursery, rated 'Good' by Ofsted on 4th March 2022, provides a warm and nurturing environment for children aged 0-4 years. 30am to 6pm, staff ensure that all children, including babies, settle with ease and build trusting relationships.

A clear, interest-led curriculum is in place, with staff planning exciting learning experiences both indoors and outdoors. For example, children showing an interest in farms might get to grow, harvest, and cook their own vegetables, while babies engage in sensory play with various produce to expand their vocabulary.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on continuous development, supporting children in developing small-muscle control and problem-solving skills. Leaders are committed to ensuring all children, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have full access to their early education entitlement.

The dedicated SENCo works extremely effectively with children requiring additional support, sometimes through one-to-one assistance, to help them make good progress. There is a strong focus on literacy, with children showing a great interest in books and staff supporting language and reading skills.

Partnerships with parents are strong, with daily discussions and support offered for continuing learning at home, leading to parents describing the nursery as 'amazing'.
