About this day nursery

God's Grace Daycare, established in 2012, is a childcare setting located in London, SE16 3LA, catering to children aged 0-4 years. Open all year round, the nursery operates from 7.15am to 6.30pm each weekday, providing a consistent and nurturing environment for children's development. Following its latest Ofsted inspection on October 18, 2024, God's Grace Daycare proudly maintains an overall rating of 'Good'.

The nursery's curriculum is thoughtfully planned to promote a wide range of essential skills across the early years. Staff are skilled in tracking children's development and providing tailored opportunities for practice when needed, ensuring children make good progress. The setting places a strong emphasis on language development, with staff expertly teaching new vocabulary through stories and songs, fostering confidence and fluency in communication, including for children who speak English as an additional language. The welcoming atmosphere supports children's emotional security, and inspectors noted that children feel happy and enjoy strong relationships with staff.

God's Grace Daycare is committed to inclusive provision, understanding that some children require additional support. Staff collaborate closely with leaders, parents, and external professionals to identify and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring every child receives the necessary resources to thrive. The nursery's approach extends to promoting independence and respectful behaviour, with staff guiding children to share, take turns, and consider others' feelings. Parents consistently report that their children develop warm relationships with staff, gain confidence, and make progress in their social and emotional development, with information provided by staff enabling them to extend learning at home. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are utilised to deliver a comprehensive educational experience.
