CTY Nursery

About this day nursery

CTY Nursery Ltd, established in 2015, provides childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 2-4 years. Open term-time only from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, the day nursery offers a broad and ambitious curriculum.

The latest Ofsted inspection, on 1 May 2025, rated the day nursery as 'Good' overall. Children are warmly greeted and settle quickly into engaging activities, and staff work closely with other settings children attend, sharing diaries to ensure consistent learning as children prepare for their next developmental stage.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on communication and language development, with staff delivering the 'WellComm' programme and hosting workshops for parents on extending their children's vocabulary. Mathematical development is also well-supported, with positional language and counting incorporated into daily tasks.

Support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is excellent; staff are proactive in identifying children who may need additional help and work with the local authority for timely referrals. Children also benefit from daily trips out of the setting to local parks, shops, and chemists, helping them understand their community and the world around them.
