Safeguarding standards are met, with leaders and staff fostering an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, ensuring children feel safe and concerns are managed effectively. Children at Clarence House Tattershall engage in a variety of activities that help them develop skills and knowledge for future learning, including physical activities and creative play.

Staff expertly support children's emotional well-being, especially during transitions, and use different techniques to guide behaviour across all age groups. Mealtimes are a social occasion where children learn healthy habits and safe use of cutlery, while staff adapt interactions to meet individual needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

The curriculum is designed to build on children's interests and existing knowledge, promoting early speaking skills, physical development, and mathematical language. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals, including health professionals, to support children with SEND and manage transitions, such as moving on to school, ensuring children are emotionally ready.

Children's attendance is monitored and encouraged.

I would highly recommend Clarence House Day Nurseries. I believe that my daughter is truly cared for. The staff are compassionate, patient, understanding and they really do an amazing job. I feel that the team are easily contactable should I need to chat to them about anything - nothing is ever too much. I feel that my daughter thrives at Clarence House. She has made great connections with her peers and the staff team too. I appreciate what they do for my daughter and I. She plays and learns every day!
