About this day nursery

Children's Corner (Harrogate) Limited, established in 2022, operates from an office park in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, offering childcare for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery is open Monday to Friday, from 7.30am until 6pm, closing only for one week at Christmas and on bank holidays. In their latest Ofsted inspection on 31st July 2024, the nursery received an overall rating of 'Good'.

The nursery's curriculum is designed with the ethos of developing happy, independent learners. Staff focus on the individual skills children need at each stage of their development, from babies learning physical skills to walk, to pre-schoolers refining fine motor skills like fastening buttons. The setting includes both indoor and outdoor spaces, and children particularly enjoy outdoor activities. The nursery provides support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with staff swiftly identifying any areas of delay and working with professionals to create tailored learning plans. The dedicated special educational needs coordinator provides support to staff to meet individual needs effectively. Parents have provided positive feedback, highlighting the fantastic communication from staff, who they feel go above and beyond to support their children.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have high expectations for all children who attend and swiftly identify any areas of delay. They work alongside other professionals to provide tailored learning plans to help close potential gaps in children's learning. The special educational needs coordinator knows children well. She provides support to staff to help them work with children and meet their individual needs.

Outdoor space

Children show enjoyment in activities in the nursery, particularly outdoors. For instance, young babies show delight as staff sit with them to sing songs. Toddlers explore the sand pit and concentrate as they use pencils to draw the different types of food they enjoy.

I can’t speak highly enough about Children’s Corner Harrogate; the entire team are lovely. My two boys have been attending since 9 months old and started in the baby room with Beth and Evie, who were incredible as their key carers and massively helped their development. My boys love attending the nursery and are very happy. All the team from Lexie, (manager) to Becky (chef) are just so friendly and caring. It’s clear they all genuinely love what they do.

Our little boy has been attending for over 1 year and we can genuinely say he loves being there. The toddler room team are lovely, it really feels like they all individually know him and his needs/likes/dislikes and staff turnover has been really low. The setting both inside and out is great, a really happy little environment.

Nothing but good things to say about the Harrogate nursery. The staff are very caring and attentive, taking time to get to know both of my children as individuals. The facilities are new and numerous compared to other nurseries I've seen. Couldn't recommend more.
