Country Rascals Nursery

About this day nursery

Country Rascals Nursery, established in 2016 and located in Saltburn-by-the-sea, provides a nurturing childcare setting for children aged 1 to 4 years. Open all year round, Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm, the day nursery creates a home-from-home environment where children eagerly settle and delight in exploring both indoors and outdoors.

The dedicated staff engage children in lively conversations, making them feel valued and welcome. The day nursery prioritises outdoor learning, offering ample opportunities for children to engage in physical activities like running, climbing, and balancing in the garden.

Babies are encouraged to develop their motor skills by safely navigating carpeted steps and a gentle slope. The curriculum also focuses on sensory exploration, with children tasting vegetables grown in their garden, experiencing different textures, and creating art.

The support for all children is particularly strong, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring that all children thrive and make good progress from their individual starting points. Parents consistently praise the high level of care and support provided by staff to the entire family, as well as the effective communication from their child's key person.

Children benefit from fresh air, exercise, and nutritionally balanced snacks and meals, promoting healthy physical development. The nursery also fosters independence, with babies and children practicing self-care skills, preparing them for future learning.

The manager and staff ensure a highly inclusive environment and provide flexible settling-in sessions.
