About this day nursery

Channings Childcare Ltd Kingsway, registered in 2020, operates as a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in Rochdale, catering to children aged 0–4 years. 15am until 6pm, offering term-time care.

The curriculum is thoughtfully sequenced to ensure children develop the necessary skills for their next stage of learning, with a strong focus on exciting and engaging opportunities. For instance, younger children explore sensory resources and build with irregular shapes, fostering determination and resilience.

Older children engage in activities such as threading and practising writing their names. The nursery places a strong emphasis on physical health and well-being; children go outside in all weathers for fresh air and exercise, including balancing on beams in the garden and going on local outings in a multi-seated pram.

The staff are adept at targeting learning gaps, especially in communication and language, utilising additional funding for specialised training and targeted sessions. The senior SENCo provides support for implementing tailored learning programmes and making prompt referrals to outside agencies when needed, ensuring all children make good progress.

Staff also support children who speak English as an additional language by using familiar objects to introduce new words. Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff demonstrating a good understanding of various risks, including online dangers, and advising parents on safety measures at home.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Effective use of additional funding helps to target gaps in children's learning. Leaders spent additional funding on communication and language training for staff. Staff provide targeted sessions that children enjoy to enhance their communication skills. Leaders oversee the staff's assessments of children's progress and work together to swiftly identify any gaps in children's learning or potential developmental delays. The senior special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) supports staff to implement specific programmes of learning for each child. Prompt referrals to outside agencies are made, if required. All children are making good progress.

Outdoor space

Children go outside in all weathers and have plenty of fresh air and exercise. Young children are excited as they clamber into a multi-seated pram ready to go on a local outing. Children capably balance on a beam in the garden.

EAL / language support

Staff support children who speak English as an additional language (EAL) to understand and use English. For example, they use familiar objects, such as a nappy, to help children to understand new words. However, staff do not consistently provide opportunities for children to use and develop their home language in the nursery.
