The dedicated team focuses on an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, building on children's existing knowledge and supporting their development across all learning areas. The day nursery places a strong emphasis on communication, language, and personal, social, and emotional development, incorporating themes like Chinese New Year to broaden cultural understanding. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive personalised support from a highly attentive SENCo who works closely with parents and external professionals to ensure any learning gaps are addressed promptly. While children enjoy weekly physical education sessions and have access to an outdoor area via a courtyard, less-experienced staff are being encouraged to improve their communication pace, especially for younger children and those learning English as an additional language, to ensure full participation. Recent inspections have highlighted a need to consistently reinforce behaviour expectations and strengthen staff deployment to ensure children's behaviour is consistently noticed and responded to promptly. What it's like Children arrive at this welcoming nursery happy and keen to be with their friends. They develop confidence and learn to listen and follow instructions. Kind and caring staff greet them on arrival and quickly comfort children when they need reassurance. Staff use this time to communicate with parents to find out detailed information about their children and to support families.

The SENCo focuses on closing any gaps in children's learning and experiences. She identifies any potential issues early on and seeks external help and advice when necessary. Parents comment that they are fully involved in the process. Outdoor space Children know to walk straight through a courtyard to access the outdoor area. Children look forward to their weekly physical education sessions. EAL / language support Less-experienced staff do not always speak slowly or pause conversations to allow younger children, particularly those who speak English as an additional language (EAL), time to think and respond to their questions or help them to join in. ## Google Reviews of Carmela Coady Childcare 4.2 (19 Google reviews) Lucy Wilson 3 months ago I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Carmela Coady Childcare. Throughout our time there, I never felt that I got to properly know the staff, nor did we ever build any kind of relationship. Communication felt minimal and impersonal, which is very concerning when you are entrusting people with your child’s care. One of the biggest issues was the complete regression in my child’s toilet training. My child was fully toilet trained before starting, yet this went massively downhill while attending. On more than one occasion, my child was left in urine-soaked trousers until collection to the point where they had dried. This is simply unacceptable. I raised these concerns with staff multiple times, yet nothing seemed to change. Despite conversations and assurances, the issues were never properly addressed or resolved. While the staff were always polite, and my child did seem to enjoy making friends within the setting, the level of care in these areas was simply not acceptable. The ongoing issues left me feeling uncomfortable and uneasy about leaving my child in their care. Overall, this has been a very upsetting and frustrating experience, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this childcare setting based on the care we received.

Over his time there, he’s built some wonderful friendships as I have too with some of the other mums. He's learned so much, both academically and socially. The team at the nursery are truly incredible. They're all so kind, patient, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s been amazing to watch my little boy grow in confidence and come home excited to tell us all about his day. We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive environment. Cannot recommend them enough!

Since the change, I’ve noticed significant improvements in his behaviour, which makes me feel that he may not have been receiving the attention he needed at Carmela coady childcare. There were multiple mornings that breakfast was not provided for my child, which was very concerning. On rainy days, he would come out soaked and dirty, which made me question the level of care and attention he was receiving. Additionally, towards the end of his time there, he became very unsettled and anxious about going to the nursery, which was never like him. Another issue was the constant changes in staff and key persons. My son kept having different key persons, and it was unclear who his primary caregiver was. This lack of consistency seemed odd and concerning. Moreover, the manager was EXTREMELY passive-aggressive, especially when I decided not to continue with their services. She messaged me to book a meeting to address my concerns, but the way she approached it felt unhelpful and added to the overall unpleasant experience. I would not recommend anyone sending their children there, they’ll be nice at first and then you’ll realise what’s really going on.
