Hale Synagogue Nursery

About this day nursery

Hale Synagogue Nursery, established in 2023, is an all-year childcare setting in Altrincham, WA15 8NZ, welcoming children aged 0-4 years. Open Monday to Thursday from 7:30 am to 6 pm, and on Fridays from 8 am to midday, the nursery maintains a Good Ofsted rating for its overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.

The nursery fosters a wonderful sense of community where children of all ages often play together, developing excellent social skills within a calm and relaxed atmosphere. This "home-from-home" environment, enhanced by soothing music during activities, ensures children are settled and happy.

The curriculum is designed with clear intent to create a safe and nurturing space, providing adapted activities, toys, and equipment in each room to offer a good level of challenge. Children are encouraged in their independence, with even young ones taking on roles like "helper of the day" and caring for the pet turtle.

Older children engage in outdoor learning, such as large-scale chalk drawings, developing early writing skills, and all children learn responsibility, including putting away coats after outdoor play. Staff are highly polite, modelling good manners that children learn from and adopt.

The nursery effectively manages SEND provision; staff noticeboards clearly display allergy information, and foods are served separately to protect children with additional dietary needs, promoting a collective understanding of every child's requirements.
