About this day nursery

Chipmunks Nursery Osc Ltd, established in 2017, offers childcare for children aged 0–11 years in Telford. The nursery operates year-round, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, closing only for one week at Christmas.

Ofsted rated the nursery as 'Good' in its latest inspection on 9 April 2025. Children are welcomed into a vibrant and busy environment, where a strong key-person system helps them form close bonds with staff, fostering emotional well-being.

The curriculum is rich, stimulating, and well-sequenced, building on children's existing knowledge to spark their curiosity and interest. Children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) receive robust support through adapted teaching methods and targeted learning plans, with parents highlighting the staff's support and collaboration with outside agencies.

Daily outdoor play is a key feature, with children of all ages developing physical skills. Older children are encouraged to take appropriate risks safely, with inspectors noting their excitement as they 'ski' down small outdoor slopes using metal trays.
