Ratios weren't being respected and we saw many things we considered to be dangerous around pick-up time - fences broken in places, tyres used as \"barriers\" left out as a trip hazard, etc.\n\nThis was finally acknowledged by ofsted in December, which led to a welfare requirements notice being served. I would take your child somewhere else while this nursery works itself out.",

## About this day nursery

Dryden Street Nursery, established in 2012 and located in Manchester, M13 9AU, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery operates Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 17:30.

The setting prioritises children's physical development, offering daily outdoor access and a well-equipped area to support large-muscle development, which has improved children’s confidence. Children are encouraged to learn about healthy lifestyles and personal safety, including road safety.

The nursery also fosters an early awareness of diversity, with children engaging in conversations about differences in appearance. While the EYFS curriculum is followed, recent inspections highlight areas for improvement in teaching and curriculum implementation, particularly for children with SEND.

Leaders have recently appointed a new senior leadership team and are working to address these areas, with an action plan in place to bring about necessary improvements.

What it's like

Children do not make secure progress due to low expectations and lack of ambition from staff. Their learning is incidental, and they are not well prepared for their next stage in learning. Staff do not build on what children already know and can do, leading to widening gaps in children's learning.

-   Children have daily access to the outdoors and learn about healthy lifestyles. 
-   Children talk about personal safety, including road safety and strangers. 
-   Children develop an early awareness of similarities and differences between themselves and others. 
-   Children begin to show some levels of independence, such as blowing their own nose and putting on their own coat. 
-   Safeguarding standards are met, with leaders fulfilling their responsibilities and establishing an open safeguarding culture. 

Areas to develop

-   1 Children do not make enough progress across all areas of development. Gaps in children's development are widening, particularly for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. 
-   2 Children's progress in communication and language is much slower than is typically expected. 
-   3 Staff are not confident enough in their ability to ensure that children are supported to regulate their own behaviour. 
-   4 Some staff fail to teach children about the importance of getting along with their peers. 
-   5 Care practices are inconsistent. Although a key-person system exists, it does not reliably meet children's emotional needs. 
-   6 Leaders' oversight of care routines, including sleep arrangements, is weak. 
-   7 Staff lack the skills and knowledge needed to teach children how to recognise and express their feelings. 
-   8 Children, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are not supported in their learning to make secure progress. 
-   9 Leaders are too trusting in staff's understanding of what children need to learn next, and the curriculum does not cater for all areas of children's learning. 
-   10 Early identification and help for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are inconsistent. 
-   11 Staff lack the knowledge and skills to ensure that learning is tailored to meet the needs of all children. 
-   12 Some parents and carers are not aware of how the setting supports their children's needs. 
-   13 The provider has failed to meet previous actions set by Ofsted. 
-   14 Leaders have not ensured that staff have a secure understanding of what they want children to learn.

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Gaps in children's development are widening, particularly for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Early identification and help for children with SEND are inconsistent, and leaders fail to act promptly to obtain professional support. Staff lack the knowledge and skills to tailor learning to meet the needs of all children, and children with SEND are often left without learning, placing them at a disadvantage.

Outdoor space

Children have daily access to the outdoors, and their physical skills are supported in a well-equipped outdoor area. Leaders have purchased resources to support children's large-muscle development, leading to improved confidence and physical ability, particularly when using outdoor apparatus.

EAL / language support

Children develop an early awareness of similarities and differences between themselves and others. For example, they talk about the differences in skin, eye and hair colour.

This nursery went steeply downhill while my child was here, with many staff resigning and a lot of locum staff who weren't around for long either. Ratios weren't being respected and we saw many things we considered to be dangerous around pick-up time - fences broken in places, tyres used as "barriers" left out as a trip hazard, etc. This was finally acknowledged by ofsted in December, which led to a welfare requirements notice being served. I would take your child somewhere else while this nursery works itself out.

I am so happy with this nursery! The staff are incredibly helpful and kind, always going above and beyond to support us. After having bad experiences with other nurseries in the past, I can’t express how grateful I am to leave my child in such good hands. The care and professionalism here are outstanding. Highly recommend this nursery, especially for families connected to Manchester University—it’s truly a wonderful environment!

My baby girl has been at holyrood dryden street nursery for nearly a year now, and I’ve seen such a positive change in her. she’s growing in confidence every day. She absolutely loves being there and adores the staff. I really appreciate all the care and hard work they put in. I trust them completely and would recommend this nursery to everyone! Mr&Mrs Din.

My daughter has been in this nursery for almost a year and she is very happy and content here. Staff are always helpful and special requests always accommodated. It's quite small so has a nice family feel to it as you get to know everybody that works here over time. Would definitely recommend.
