Catering to children aged three months to five years, the nursery provides access to the school's diverse facilities, including playgrounds, gardens, and the school hall, encouraging children's participation in school activities. The nursery’s philosophy centres on creating a warm, friendly, and secure atmosphere where both children and parents feel welcome. They are guided by four core principles: recognising each child as a unique and capable learner, fostering positive relationships, providing enabling environments that support development, and acknowledging that children learn and develop in varied ways and at different paces. The nursery aims to lay strong foundations for early childhood development, guiding children from infancy to becoming confident school leavers. What it's like Children thrive in this nursery. Staff develop strong relationships with parents and carers and use their shared information to make the child's introduction to nursery a positive experience. Staff quickly get to know the children and promptly raise any concerns about a child's development with parents, seeking early help to prevent learning gaps.

[Claim this listing](/claim?nursery=buxton-nursery-ltd-sk17-6qb-2702981) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported by the staff. Staff understand how children communicate and can interpret their needs, responding with understanding and sensitivity. They work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure a consistent approach to the children's needs. Outdoor space When exploring ice and snow outside, staff talk to older children about the thawing process, and youngest children are gently introduced to the sensations of touching the ice. Outdoor play is less well thought through in terms of the resources selected for children to use, and staff are, at times, unclear what they expect children to learn using the available items. ## Parent Reviews of Buxton Nursery 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVNXLzDi4iMJwvEb_UrdxU_3bJzRMS4Em7wjuVlwmPGJzV6xYAf=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Gem Allen 7 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN3Z1BqVUZnEAE!2m1!1s0x487a31232b8f714f:0x1e1a5dfa6fce75db) Reviews from Google for Buxton Nursery.
