About this day nursery

Our Village Nurseries strives to be more than just a childcare provider, aiming to foster a strong sense of community and support for families. They offer a nurturing 'home-from-home' environment where children aged 3 months to 5 years (at the Docklands location) are encouraged to learn, grow, and build confidence through engaging experiences.

The nurseries prioritize a family-focused approach, understanding that raising children is a collaborative journey. Highly qualified staff deliver a rich curriculum that includes activities like languages, cooking, and local excursions, alongside nutritious, freshly prepared meals catering to all dietary needs.

They also connect families with valuable community services, encompassing health and wellbeing resources, ensuring comprehensive support for the entire household. The emphasis is on creating a safe, inclusive space where every child feels valued, and strong partnerships with parents are cultivated to ensure children receive the best possible start in life.

What it's like

The nursery's motto, 'Every child is unique and aims for the highest standards of personal care, warmth, safety and well being', is promoted well throughout the nursery. Children cannot control their excitement as they find their friends and show high levels of self-confidence.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work well with other professionals to provide consistent support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They identify professional development opportunities, such as undertaking training, to assist them. This ensures that children make the best progress in their learning and development.

Outdoor space

Children delight in opportunities to climb, jump and balance on apparatus, indoors and outdoors. During children's free-flow play, staff are not always organised in a way that enables them to recognise when children require extra support and to attend promptly to their needs.
