Copmanthorpe Childcare Centre Ltd is an all-year childcare setting located in Copmanthorpe, offering a warm and welcoming environment for children aged 0-4 years. Open Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, the nursery focuses on nurturing confident and independent learners through strong, trusting relationships between staff and children.
The caring team places a clear emphasis on children's personal, social, and emotional well-being and development. Children benefit from a stable and long-standing staff team, a continuity which parents highly value and remark upon.
The nursery effectively includes all children in learning opportunities, with a particular focus on supporting those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The dedicated Special Educational Needs Coordinator works closely with children to ensure they receive the support they need.
Although relatively new to their current building, having re-registered in 2022 after previous registrations nearby, children and staff are settling in well, with prolonged periods of calm, purposeful play and learning observed. Outdoor learning is an integral part of the curriculum, with staff ensuring children learn about keeping themselves safe through effective risk assessment, reminding them to check ahead when riding bikes and encouraging care when climbing.
This nurturing approach helps children to happily engage, settle easily, and develop good language skills and very good behaviour.
