About this day nursery

30 am until 6 pm. This Leeds-based nursery for children aged 0-4 years received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted at its latest inspection on 22 March 2022.

The provision is highly regarded for its coherently planned and sequenced curriculum which supports children in making superb progress and developing a strong understanding of the world. Children are highly motivated and deeply engaged in their learning, enjoying rich and purposeful experiences.

A notable strength is the outdoor provision, where children have hands-on opportunities to develop their understanding of the natural world, access a well-organised environment, and use a wide range of resources for physical development. Staff form strong links with parents, using information from inductions and settling-in sessions to tailor learning experiences.

Children are happy, self-assured, and confident, developing excellent mathematical skills through activities like using positional language and discussing shapes, and a strong understanding of healthy lifestyles, including oral hygiene. There is a focus on fostering communication skills, inquisitiveness, and problem-solving.

Children engage in activities such as growing plants and vegetables, searching for minibeasts, and confidently asking questions, even using electronic tablets with staff to find answers. Physical development is also very well supported through access to the outdoor environment and the use of child-sized tools for planting.

We feel so lucky that both our children have spent their early years in the Children's Corner family. Our youngest is coming to the end of his time there and it really has been a home from home where we genuinely felt he has been loved, nurtured and encouraged to learn. Our daughter started school after leaving Childrens Corner's care happy, confident and more than ready to start school having made the most wonderfully special 'first' friendships who remain in her life well after leaving. Staff will always have a special place on our hearts and we could not have asked for more from a nursery!

Both of my children love Children's Corner Headingley. It's a gorgeous space and they're always coming home having learnt something new. My 4 year old's confidence has increased so much in the time she's been here. All of the staff are wonderful but Natalie and Laura in particular are just absolute superstars - so caring and and patient and always have a smile. I wouldn't want anyone else looking after my children

Amazing company! Both of my daughter's attended breakfast club sessions until recently, they always looked forward to going and hated it when I stopped sending them. Would 100% recommend.
