About this day nursery
Highgate Day Nursery in Boston provides care for children from birth to ten years old. The day nursery is open all year round, from Monday to Friday, between 7am and 6pm. It was first registered with Ofsted in 2015 and accepts funding for eligible two, three, and four-year-old children.
Ofsted inspected the nursery in December 2022 and gave it an overall rating of 'Good'. The curriculum is designed to encourage independence and broaden children's experiences through activities including woodland exploration. Children spend time outdoors in the nursery garden and local woodland, where they are supported to manage risks and learn about size. The inspector observed that children are happy, with younger ones enjoying parachute games and pre-schoolers described as confident communicators. Staff keep parents informed of their child's achievements with photos and meetings.
What it's like
Children are happy and have fun in the nursery. Younger children laugh with their friends when they run under a parachute that staff hold. Pre-school children are very confident communicators and show their imagination when they tell visitors about an elf they have at home.
