Clifton-Upon-Teme Nursery

About this day nursery

Clifton-Upon-Teme Nursery Limited provides a warm and nurturing environment where children from birth to four years thrive in a setting that operates Monday to Friday, all year round, closing only for one week in August and another in December, with sessions from 7:30 am until 6 pm. Children are happy and eager to engage in the diverse experiences offered, demonstrating a strong sense of belonging and connection upon arrival, as they are warmly welcomed by peers and staff alike.

The nursery excels in supporting all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), by working closely with professionals like speech and language therapists. This collaborative approach, supported by a dedicated SENCo, ensures swift identification of additional needs and fosters comprehensive development across all seven areas of learning.

The well-constructed and ambitious curriculum is delivered by staff who feel extremely supported by leaders and benefit from dedicated training time. Children greatly benefit from outdoor play, enthusiastically exploring the natural environment and learning about safety, for instance, understanding why large equipment cannot be used when icy.

The nursery is praised by parents for the strong relationships between staff and children, and for the notable progress children make in their speech and language development, a testament to the staff's role as strong communication role models.
