The  staff are great and really committed, and unlike many nursery's the staff seem to stay here quite a long time, so there is great continuity for the children.  Apparently, the building was purpose built as a nursery so the layout is cool  with different zones where the children can learn and play different toys and learn different thngs. Also the food is good and the outdoor play area  is big enough for really active children to have loads of room to run about.",

The level of care that Chapeltown Community Nursery provides to the children and families is professional and of a very high quality. They  support the child, the family, and the community at large. The purpose built building is spacious and the garden / outdoor play-area has just been re-designed. Both boys love cycling around the garden and play-area on the nursery bikes. They also love the food, we hear about each meal in detail.\nThe nursery is also a community space so there are events which help to connect the children to their surroundings, such as photo exhibitions or music and dance.\nThe staff go above and beyond for all the children.  I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery!",

It can also be hired as a venue and we recently attended a birthday party there, the space was perfect for a kids party as you might expect from an early years setting!",

              "reviewBody": "We have had the pleasure of experiencing several nurseries and sure start centres in Leeds, but nothing compares to Chapeltown Community Nursery. When we moved from Little Woodhouse to Chapeltown in 2009, we looked around and were quickly drawn to this place. It had an amazing outdoor play area with climbing frames, swings, a slide, and a train, which my son loved. It was south-facing and looked onto Reginald Park - the whole environment was green and spacious. The nursery itself had been set up by the local community in the 1970s and was run on a not-for-profit basis with a committee of parents, ex-parents and other community-minded folks. The emphasis was on learning through play, and it just looked like a really fun, happy and family-friendly space. It was also a genuinely diverse place with kids and staff from different ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds. Kids would get freshly-cooked food everyday from the nursery's own cook, and would celebrate all the different cultural and religious festivals. We got on the waiting list and soon were given a place. Our son settled in really fast and genuinely loved his time there. He still remembers the taste of the curry, and his final sports day when he got a medal. He is 13 now but still in touch with some of his friends from there, and occasionally will see his old 'teachers' in the street who remember him and tell him embarrassing stories of what he got up to. I got involved in the nursery committee and stayed on for 10 years. This helped me see the other side of the place and just how dedicated and caring the staff are. They really love the kids and look out for any parents who are struggling with stuff. As an independent, not-for-profit nursery that isn't bankrolled by the council or a big corporate chain, Chapeltown Community Nursery had to go the extra mile to survive the pandemic and was a pillar of support to the local community. If you are looking for a nursery that is more than a nursery, a genuine community of people who care about children and their future, then this is the place for you.",

              "reviewBody": "Chapeltown Community Nursery has such an important place in our life and in our hearts. I've sent my son there from since he was 2, until he started school in September, and my daughter is currently attending.\n\nIt's been an amazing place of support, and like a second home, especially during the pandemic, when our only contact with the outside world was litterally the nursery!\n\nWe love the large outdoor space for the kids to play bikes, climb trees, play imagination games, and pick strawberries in summer.\nBecause it's a non-for-profit, community and parent led nursery, there is a great emphasis on creating art projects involving local talents, that you wouldn't see in your average nursery. For example, last year, there was a photography workshop and fun posh selfie sessions with a professional photographer and this year, there are dance/improvisation sessions with a local dancer and musicians. We feel absolutely privileged that our kids are taking part in such fun and stimulating events.\nLastly but not least, we are very happy with the food, made from scratch by Lynette, the nursery cook. As a vegan family, we are so happy with the meals that have been designed to be tasty, balanced and nutritious. My son absolutely loved the food and used to ask for multiple servings all the time, my daughter is now the same! It's so good to have the peace of mind that your kid ate well at lunch for the times when they can be a bit fussy or overly tired at dinner.  I also feel very grateful that plant milk is provided as an alternative for children who don't consume dairy.",

Safeguarding effective 

What it's like to attend

Children feel safe, welcomed and cared for at this inclusive setting. They arrive happily and settle quickly, supported by familiar adults who offer reassurance and comfort when needed. Children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), separate confidently from their parents and seek support from staff, which shows they feel secure and trust the adults around them. Staff know children and families well and respond sensitively to emotional needs, particularly for children experiencing family changes, medical needs or other challenges.

Inspector highlights

-   Leaders and practitioners identify children's individual needs quickly to tailor support effectively. 
-   Practitioners adapt teaching by breaking instructions into small steps, using repetition, visual supports, and extra time for processing information. 
-   A highly effective key-person system supports continuity of care and emotional security. 
-   Early years pupil premium funding is used flexibly for specialist resources, staff training, and targeted adult support. 
-   Children make progress from their starting points across the curriculum, particularly in communication and language. 

Areas to develop

-   1 Leaders should ensure that the curriculum provides consistent opportunities for children to practise, refine and master their independence skills over time. 
-   2 Leaders should improve the organisation of the nursery environment so that distractions in the environment are minimised and children are consistently supported to develop their listening and attention skills.

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and practitioners identify children's individual needs quickly through daily observations, discussions with parents and regular progress checks. Leaders take decisive action to reduce barriers to learning and wellbeing, adapting teaching by breaking instructions into small steps, using repetition and visual supports, and giving children additional time to process information. This helps children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those facing other challenges to take part fully in learning and routines alongside their peers. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive adapted support, with staff breaking instructions into small steps, using pictures and gestures, and providing extra time for children to respond, enabling them to participate in routines and play alongside their peers.

Outdoor space

Outdoor play supports physical development as children run, climb and balance confidently in the large garden, developing coordination, spatial awareness and strength as they practise and repeat physical skills.

My oldest daughter went here and loved it, and when our second is old enough, we will be sending her here. The staff are great and really committed, and unlike many nursery's the staff seem to stay here quite a long time, so there is great continuity for the children. Apparently, the building was purpose built as a nursery so the layout is cool with different zones where the children can learn and play different toys and learn different thngs. Also the food is good and the outdoor play area is big enough for really active children to have loads of room to run about.

Both my children have been to Chapeltown Community Nursery. My eldest child has just left for school, and my youngest has settled in very well. The level of care that Chapeltown Community Nursery provides to the children and families is professional and of a very high quality. They support the child, the family, and the community at large. The purpose built building is spacious and the garden / outdoor play-area has just been re-designed. Both boys love cycling around the garden and play-area on the nursery bikes. They also love the food, we hear about each meal in detail. The nursery is also a community space so there are events which help to connect the children to their surroundings, such as photo exhibitions or music and dance. The staff go above and beyond for all the children. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery!

My son loved this nursery. Such a lovely community and as a not for profit orgabisation I found it more personal and flexible than other nursery provision I have used. The staff were caring and supportive and the time he spent there really helped prepare him for school. I am looking forward to my daughter attending too and she is excited about the lovely new playground. It can also be hired as a venue and we recently attended a birthday party there, the space was perfect for a kids party as you might expect from an early years setting!

We have had the pleasure of experiencing several nurseries and sure start centres in Leeds, but nothing compares to Chapeltown Community Nursery. When we moved from Little Woodhouse to Chapeltown in 2009, we looked around and were quickly drawn to this place. It had an amazing outdoor play area with climbing frames, swings, a slide, and a train, which my son loved. It was south-facing and looked onto Reginald Park - the whole environment was green and spacious. The nursery itself had been set up by the local community in the 1970s and was run on a not-for-profit basis with a committee of parents, ex-parents and other community-minded folks. The emphasis was on learning through play, and it just looked like a really fun, happy and family-friendly space. It was also a genuinely diverse place with kids and staff from different ethnic, social and cultural backgrounds. Kids would get freshly-cooked food everyday from the nursery's own cook, and would celebrate all the different cultural and religious festivals. We got on the waiting list and soon were given a place. Our son settled in really fast and genuinely loved his time there. He still remembers the taste of the curry, and his final sports day when he got a medal. He is 13 now but still in touch with some of his friends from there, and occasionally will see his old 'teachers' in the street who remember him and tell him embarrassing stories of what he got up to. I got involved in the nursery committee and stayed on for 10 years. This helped me see the other side of the place and just how dedicated and caring the staff are. They really love the kids and look out for any parents who are struggling with stuff. As an independent, not-for-profit nursery that isn't bankrolled by the council or a big corporate chain, Chapeltown Community Nursery had to go the extra mile to survive the pandemic and was a pillar of support to the local community. If you are looking for a nursery that is more than a nursery, a genuine community of people who care about children and their future, then this is the place for you.

Chapeltown Community Nursery has such an important place in our life and in our hearts. I've sent my son there from since he was 2, until he started school in September, and my daughter is currently attending. It's been an amazing place of support, and like a second home, especially during the pandemic, when our only contact with the outside world was litterally the nursery! We love the large outdoor space for the kids to play bikes, climb trees, play imagination games, and pick strawberries in summer. Because it's a non-for-profit, community and parent led nursery, there is a great emphasis on creating art projects involving local talents, that you wouldn't see in your average nursery. For example, last year, there was a photography workshop and fun posh selfie sessions with a professional photographer and this year, there are dance/improvisation sessions with a local dancer and musicians. We feel absolutely privileged that our kids are taking part in such fun and stimulating events. Lastly but not least, we are very happy with the food, made from scratch by Lynette, the nursery cook. As a vegan family, we are so happy with the meals that have been designed to be tasty, balanced and nutritious. My son absolutely loved the food and used to ask for multiple servings all the time, my daughter is now the same! It's so good to have the peace of mind that your kid ate well at lunch for the times when they can be a bit fussy or overly tired at dinner. I also feel very grateful that plant milk is provided as an alternative for children who don't consume dairy.
