About this day nursery

Emscote House Day Nursery, located in Warwickshire, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery operates all year round, open Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, offering a welcoming and friendly environment where children are happy and settled.

The latest Ofsted inspection, on 14th February 2022, rated the nursery as 'Good' in overall effectiveness, reflecting the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Children at Emscote House Day Nursery engage in a variety of age-appropriate play activities based on their interests.

The well-resourced environment encourages children to explore and develop their own ideas, with activities including pre-schoolers creating rockets with scissors and toddlers enjoying yoga sessions. Babies settle well and form strong bonds with staff who follow home routines and provide cuddles and reassurance to help them feel emotionally secure.

Outdoor learning is a key part of the experience, with children enthusiastically participating in activities such as ‘bear hunts’ and games like hide and seek. The nursery is proactive in identifying and supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language, working with other professionals to ensure children receive the support they need.

Staff also focus on developing communication and language skills through frequent conversations, clear language modelling, and sharing stories. Older children are supported in developing independence by managing self-care and assisting with small tasks.

The nursery provides healthy meals and snacks, accommodating dietary requirements, and makes mealtimes sociable events, where older children can help set the table.

My daughter started at Emscote House nursery when she was 1 year old and she's been there a 10 weeks now. It took her a few weeks to settle in but the nursery were so good and really helped her settle and now she absolutely loves it! The staff are all excellent and I can't thank them enough. The communication with parents is really good and I not only feel like my daughter is having fun and learning at nursery but also being supported and they genuinely care about her and have built a great bond. The parent involvement has been much better than I anticipated woth the weekly memos, pictures and updates on the app, a chat at the end if the day and the paperwork of that they have done that day. It enables me to really be involved in what she does and things she's learning so I can follow the same at home so although she's there 5 days a week I don't feel like it's too much. I would highly reccomend this nursery and I am so glad I chose here for our daughter.

Amazing staff, beautiful facilities, my son relocated here from another town and transitioning has been so easy. Can’t speak highly of this place enough. Dedicated and caring staff go above and beyond to be the best for the children and always have their best interests and development at the core of everything they do.

The staff in the Caterpillar room are great. The management haven't always been helpful and appear to be defensive and rude when issues are raised with them.
