Every day he’s fully involved in a wide range of fun, engaging activities that help him learn, explore, and grow. He is always so excited to go in each morning!\n\nThe staff are fantastic - always warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. They make both children and parents feel welcome and supported. I really appreciate how helpful they are and the detailed handovers they provide at pick up. It’s so reassuring to know exactly how his day went, what he enjoyed, and how he’s progressing.\n\nI couldn’t be happier with the nursery and the amazing team who work there. Highly recommended!",

We couldn't ask for more when it comes to the quality of the staff and the environment for our two little ones that attend.\nEvery day at pick up the staff spend time telling us what they've been up to and this is supplemented with detailed posts on their App along with plenty of pictures. Communication is always spot on.\nThe staff are warm and caring and our children love them and it's clear to see why.\nThe setting itself is great too. The children are often in the Forest School playing or building, and they spend time around the fire pit and are taught about fire safety. When not in Forest School they are taking part in activities outside or engaged in learning activities in their respective rooms. Staff provide detailed termly updates about how the children are progressing which feels personal. Their growth, especially emotionally and socially, is a reflection on the staff and their efforts.\nIn short, this is a fantastic setting with amazing staff. Our children always love going in and as a parent I feel relaxed knowing my children are undoubtedly having a great day when they go in.",

With an overall 'Good' rating from its January 2026 Ofsted inspection, the nursery prioritises an enriching environment where children flourish and make significant progress, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

The dedicated staff provide a well-planned EYFS curriculum, ensuring that each child's individual learning journey is supported through a wide range of motivating activities. The setting excels in fostering confidence, independence, and strong social and communication skills.

Leaders are highly reflective and proactive, consistently reviewing and enhancing the provision, with a particular focus on children's welfare and wellbeing.

Our ethos

Our nursery is a calm and nurturing haven, inspired by nature, where every child’s journey begins with love, joy, and wonder. Designed with natural elements, soft tones, and wooden furniture, our space evokes a peaceful, home-like atmosphere.

At the heart of our nursery is a team of caring, dedicated staff who radiate warmth, affection, and professionalism. Every child is cherished, respected, and celebrated as an individual. We put children first in everything we do, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and inspired each and every day. Our curriculum is robust and thoughtfully crafted, blending structure with creativity to spark imagination, inspire curiosity, and promote a lifelong love of learning. We believe in providing magical and meaningful experiences that are both fun and enriching, helping children grow into confident, resilient, and independent learners. We are dedicated to supporting children’s emotional, social, and intellectual development, offering opportunities to explore, discover, and thrive at their own pace. By valuing each child’s unique strengths, interests, and needs, we create an environment where they feel empowered to achieve their very best. Equally, we recognise that staff wellbeing is essential. We foster a supportive, positive workplace where every member of our team feels valued, respected, and fulfilled—because when our team thrives, so do our children. Together, our ethos, vision, and values shape a nurturing environment where both children and staff can flourish.Together, these values form the foundation of our practice, guiding us as we inspire children to grow into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.

My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery, and it’s easy to see why. Every day he’s fully involved in a wide range of fun, engaging activities that help him learn, explore, and grow. He is always so excited to go in each morning! The staff are fantastic - always warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. They make both children and parents feel welcome and supported. I really appreciate how helpful they are and the detailed handovers they provide at pick up. It’s so reassuring to know exactly how his day went, what he enjoyed, and how he’s progressing. I couldn’t be happier with the nursery and the amazing team who work there. Highly recommended!

Deal Nursery and Forest School is a wonderful setting. We couldn't ask for more when it comes to the quality of the staff and the environment for our two little ones that attend. Every day at pick up the staff spend time telling us what they've been up to and this is supplemented with detailed posts on their App along with plenty of pictures. Communication is always spot on. The staff are warm and caring and our children love them and it's clear to see why. The setting itself is great too. The children are often in the Forest School playing or building, and they spend time around the fire pit and are taught about fire safety. When not in Forest School they are taking part in activities outside or engaged in learning activities in their respective rooms. Staff provide detailed termly updates about how the children are progressing which feels personal. Their growth, especially emotionally and socially, is a reflection on the staff and their efforts. In short, this is a fantastic setting with amazing staff. Our children always love going in and as a parent I feel relaxed knowing my children are undoubtedly having a great day when they go in.

We have had nothing but positive experiences with Deal Nursery and Forest school. Both in the baby room and the pre school room our children have settled so quickly and are so happy to come into nursery. The forest school is amazing, they have so many opportunities to be outside and hands on activities planned. Communication is great and we are kept up to date with their daily activities and longer term progress. All the staff have been so kind, friendly and caring and made such a big difference to our children’s progress and wellbeing while at nursery. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

Staff are absolutely amazing. The level of care we've experienced is exceptional. We recieve detailed and caring feedback each day at pick up which is wonderful. My son is always so happy and excited to attend. An additional note which is often overlooked is that staff must be so well supported and looked after. This is abundantly evident by their unwavering enthusiasm and joy.

My son currently attends this nursery and absolutely loves it. The staff are warm, welcoming, and always go above and beyond to make him feel safe and happy. The environment is clean, well-organised, and full of fun learning activities for all the children. Communication with parents is brilliant too, they share updates throughout the day, so I always know what he’s been up to. Highly recommend.
