About this day nursery
Hollybrook Childrens Nursery Limited, established in 2019, provides a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for children aged 0-4 years. Open all year round, it operates Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6 pm, closing for one week at Christmas and on bank holidays.
The nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 19/05/2022. Children at Hollybrook thrive and form strong bonds with staff, confidently moving between indoor and outdoor learning environments.
The curriculum encourages children to lead their learning, with staff tailoring experiences to support individual progress. A particular strength highlighted by inspectors is the nursery's focus on mathematical development, where children are encouraged to think critically and solve problems through play.
Parents consistently praise the nursery, feeling included in their child's learning and reporting that their children feel safe and happy. Staff act as positive role models, fostering good manners and behaviour among the children.
However, the inspection noted that the curriculum for communication and language development in the toddler room could be strengthened to further support children's emerging speaking skills.
