About this day nursery

City Road Community Childcare provides a caring and supportive environment where children aged 2–4 years are happy and eager to learn. Leaders and staff have high expectations and ambitions for all children, fostering a keen and motivated approach to learning.

The setting places a high priority on the development of children's language skills, including the use of Makaton to support all children. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from a thoughtfully spent SEND funding, which provides a curriculum tailored to their needs, such as exploring the 'Sensory Den'.

Targeted interventions are also in place to support language and physical development. The nursery operates Monday to Friday, 8am until 6pm, all year round, except for bank holidays and one week at Christmas.

Children engage in a rich curriculum, both indoors and outdoors, which supports their problem-solving and mathematical development. Strong partnerships with parents are a hallmark of the nursery, with many commenting positively on the care and attention their children receive.

This helps to ensure children are well-prepared for school, developing good social skills and forming friendships within the nursery community.

This is the Best place I could ever choose as first nursery for both of my children. From very friendly and clean environments to absolutely amazing staff. Everyone is so helpful and understanding. My kids growth up there, they learnt many things and brought very good behaviour. We will miss every part of it when we will need to move from there.

Absolutely beautiful nursery with beautiful staff! My son has attended here for almost 3 years and I cannot fault the place. The staff go absolutely above and beyond for both the children and the parents. Very glad we are staying here for holiday clubs as I think my son would feel lost without you all!

My son started at City Road a few months ago and we absolutely love it! The staff are amazing during the settling in period, not just with the children but with parents anxiety as well. My son is always excited to start his day and always talks about his teachers and friends at home.
