About this day nursery

Rated as Good by Ofsted in its latest inspection on 21 November 2022, the nursery excels in fostering positive relationships and children's self-confidence. The dedicated staff, under the guidance of a passionate manager, plan meaningful learning opportunities tailored to each child, ensuring they build knowledge and skills crucial for their future.

The curriculum is relevant and engaging, with mathematics woven into daily activities, helping children develop a strong foundation. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support, with a dedicated coordinator working closely with parents and the local authority to assess individual needs and implement appropriate environmental adaptations based on professional advice.

While children enjoy exploring the local environment through walks, picnics, and visits to shops, the manager acknowledges the need to enhance the outdoor provision at the nursery to offer even richer learning experiences. The nursery places a strong emphasis on communication development, with staff skilfully teaching language through stories and songs, and providing extra support when needed.

Parents commend the nursery for the varied vocabulary their children acquire, reflecting the nursery's commitment to language development. The nursery also prioritises children's health by offering a healthy diet and accessible water.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. The special educational needs coordinator works with parents and the local authority team to assess individual needs and identify appropriate support. Staff adapt the environment based on professionals' advice.

Outdoor space

Children have opportunities to explore the local environment, going on walks, picnicking in fields, and visiting shops. However, the manager recognises that the outdoor provision at the nursery does not provide as many rich learning opportunities, limiting children's outdoor learning experiences.

My son has attended Channings, Newhey from 9 months old and he is settled and very happy there. The staff are professional and experienced and show care and kindness towards all the children that I have observed. Activities are fun and engaging as well as always having an underlying educational/developmental element. The nursery staff are excellent at communicating with me via phone and email.

Terrible nursery! I’ve found the whole channings childcare chain should be shut down! The staff don’t have a clue what they’re doing and there seems to be a lot happening behind the scenes
