Collingbourne Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Collingbourne Day Nursery, operating since 2016 in Birmingham, B36 8PE, provides a nurturing environment for children aged 2-4 years, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm, term-time only. The nursery has made significant improvements since its last inspection, ensuring a high quality of experience for all children.

Staff warmly welcome children, showing a deep understanding of their individual needs, offering extra support or a comforting cuddle when necessary, which helps children settle in easily and feel secure. The nursery has robust SEND provision, with staff effectively using communication tools to identify and address any learning gaps for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, or those learning English as an additional language.

They collaborate closely with parents and other professionals to implement strategies that quickly bridge these gaps. Children enjoy a varied outdoor experience, engaging in activities such as riding bikes, climbing, and imaginative play in the mud kitchen.

They also have opportunities to dig in soil and sand, fostering both physical development and early mathematical skills through counting. The nursery’s commitment to continuous improvement and strong partnerships with parents, maintained through verbal communication, newsletters, and a parent partnership book, ensures children thrive in a supportive and engaging atmosphere.

Overall, significant improvement has been made since the previous inspection to help raise the quality of experiences provided for children.

As a result, children separate from parents with ease and demonstrate that they feel happy and secure.
