About this day nursery
Field House Day Nursery - Tommies Childcare, rated Good by Ofsted on 8th July 2024, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. 30am until 6pm, the day nursery offers a friendly, relaxed and inclusive environment.
The dedicated staff build strong bonds with the children, fostering a sense of belonging and promoting high levels of confidence and self-esteem. Children are encouraged to be independent, from choosing their own breakfast to managing personal care as they get older.
The nursery has strong provisions for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) who collaborates with external professionals to create targeted plans for individual children. There is a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, with children spending long periods in the fresh air.
The garden provides opportunities for physical development, such as negotiating obstacle courses and using a tyre swing, which helps to build muscle strength, balance, and coordination. Babies enjoy independent play with ride-on toys and climbing on the outdoor slide.
The curriculum is well-sequenced and adapted to meet the changing needs of the children, with a focus on making learning fun and supporting mathematical development, healthy lifestyles, and physical skills. Parents consistently praise the nursery for the progress their children make, particularly in developing confidence and independence.

My children have been going to Field House Day Nursery for 2+ years and I couldn't recommend it more. The staff are attentive, kind and supportive of each childs' developmental needs. They have helped with their speech, eating, confidence and social interactions. It's hard to trust someone with your children but I know they are in good (safe) hands and they have the best time in a setting where their independence is nurtured through child led play and learning.

I would highly reccomend Fieldhouse. My Daughter left in September 25 for school and absolutely thrived. The staff were great with feedback and letting me know how her day was. My Daughter always came our smiling and telling us how much fun she had with the staff. My son is currently at the setting and has thrived since being here. His speech has come on tremendously and he has settled in really well. The nursery is clean and a home from.home environment with a great outdoor space.

We have had our kids at Fieldhouse nursery now since 2020 and couldn’t recommend it more! My son went from aged 9 months until he was almost five and my daughter is currently attending aged 22 months. They have both been very happy there, and absolutely love the staff. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, they really supported me through the settling in process. You can tell they really care and know the children and their personalities. Communication is great. I love the week designed outdoor space too. I’ve never had any problems and I feel totally safe waving goodbye to them! I also feel like my son was well prepared for reception and has been thriving at school.

We moved our daughter to Fieldhouse after she did not settle well at another setting and I am so happy we that we did. The whole team especially Jade, Patience and Beatrice have been so accommodating and ensured that our daughter has fully settled in. It is so lovely to see her happy on pick ups and we love seeing the pictures of what she has done each day. Furthermore I feel that they are so invested in supporting her growth and development and highly recommend them to other parents.

We love Field House - they were so accommodating when we were moving to the area and had to keep changing start dates, and little one settled in brilliantly. They have regular focuses on our child's development, the garden area is fantastic for getting them fresh air every day, and the staff are all really lovely. Would highly recommend!
