About this day nursery
Hoglets Daycare Ltd in Austerfield, Doncaster, registered in 2025, offers a nurturing "Childcare on non-domestic premises" setting for children aged 0-4 years. Open all year, the nursery prides itself on a child-centred curriculum that fosters resilience, independence, and strong communication skills, particularly benefiting from its natural environment.
Children are encouraged to explore the extensive forest school areas, where they can engage in physical activities like running, jumping, balancing, and den building with natural materials. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on language and communication, with staff modelling rich language and introducing new words to enhance vocabulary from an early age.
This focus ensures children make steady progress in their communication, physical, social, and personal development. Hoglets Daycare is committed to inclusive practice, with targeted interventions and adaptations for disadvantaged children and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
The dedicated special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) continuously develops professionally and shares learning across the team, while leaders make timely referrals to external agencies to provide additional advice and support. The nursery effectively utilises funding such as the early years pupil premium and SEND inclusion fund to remove learning barriers, ensuring all children can access the full curriculum and thrive.
Leaders are keen to further develop the outdoor provision to include more opportunities for learning about planting and growth.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Disadvantaged children and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make steady progress through targeted interventions. Leaders typically act early to remove barriers, and staff generally adapt routines and teaching so every child can take part. Individual play plans are followed, and all children's progress, including those with SEND, is assessed regularly to identify and support learning gaps effectively. Staff understand the graduated approach, using assessments to plan targeted interventions. The nursery utilises additional funding such as the early years pupil premium and SEND inclusion fund to reduce learning barriers. The dedicated special educational needs coordinator engages in continuous professional development and shares learning across the team to strengthen inclusive practice. Leaders evaluate provision continuously and make timely referrals to external agencies for additional advice and support.
Outdoor space
Hoglets Daycare offers ample opportunities for physical development in its forest school areas, where children can run, jump, balance, and build dens with natural materials. Leaders plan to further develop outdoor provision to include more opportunities for learning about planting and growth.
