The team work incredibly hard and are always happy to help. They have helped shape my daughter into a polite, caring and sociable young girl and I cannot praise the team enough. I love the setting of this nursery and feel the grounds offer a welcoming family environment. The nursery is unique in its style and they made me and my daughter feel like part of the furniture. The building encompasses the history and culture of Darlington as well as promoting the modern day necessities children require to support their development. For me, this nursery is different to the others in town as they are extremely family orientated and I have never felt like my child was just a number on a document, which can happen at other nurseries. The staff care about every single child and this is evident when looking around the nursery and participating in activities within the nursery too.",

Inspector highlights

-   Staff are very efficient at helping children to develop their language skills, introducing new vocabulary and modelling good pronunciation. 
-   Children's independence is encouraged; babies learn to feed themselves, and older children serve their own lunch and manage personal needs. 
-   Staff join in make-believe games, supporting and extending children's creativity, such as making soup and cookies in the mud kitchen. 
-   Staff provide many experiences to encourage children to expand their understanding of mathematical concepts, from counting stairs to understanding measurement with local landmarks. 
-   Children learn the importance of keeping healthy through daily routines, including nutritious snacks, collecting fruit from the garden, and regular fresh air and exercise. 

Areas to develop

-   1 strengthen opportunities for coaching and monitoring of individual staff's teaching skills, to improve their knowledge of how to consistently maximise children's learning experiences 
-   2 develop staff's understanding of curriculum intentions to enable them to focus specifically on what children need to learn next, to ensure that all activities challenge children's learning more effectively.

My son has just left Ferndene to start school. Since he started at 9 months old he has developed so well with the care and attention of the staff. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Like an extended family! My daughter has now begun nursery here too and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Such a fantastic setting with the best staff.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for their support they have given me and my daughter over the last few years. The team work incredibly hard and are always happy to help. They have helped shape my daughter into a polite, caring and sociable young girl and I cannot praise the team enough. I love the setting of this nursery and feel the grounds offer a welcoming family environment. The nursery is unique in its style and they made me and my daughter feel like part of the furniture. The building encompasses the history and culture of Darlington as well as promoting the modern day necessities children require to support their development. For me, this nursery is different to the others in town as they are extremely family orientated and I have never felt like my child was just a number on a document, which can happen at other nurseries. The staff care about every single child and this is evident when looking around the nursery and participating in activities within the nursery too.
