About this day nursery
30pm, providing childcare for children aged 0-8 years. The nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 27th June 2023.
Staff offer a warm welcome, creating an enjoyable atmosphere where children readily engage in activities. For instance, children become intrigued when guessing hidden objects, fostering a sense of pride in their achievements.
The nursery focuses on sensory exploration, with younger children engaging with materials like rice and learning descriptive words such as "soft" or "hard," which supports their language development. The curriculum is broad and based on children's interests, with assessments effectively identifying and addressing learning gaps to ensure good progress.
Children also gain an understanding of their emotions and develop emotional resilience, learning what makes them happy during group times. Humpty Dumptys Nursery Limited places importance on preparing children for school by promoting independence through daily tasks like pouring water at lunchtime and serving their own meals, alongside encouraging self-care skills.
The dedicated Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities Coordinator (SENDCo) ensures that all children with SEND have appropriate plans and receive swift support through partnerships with other professionals, leading to expected developmental progress. Children enjoy being physically active in the garden, skilfully manoeuvring on bicycles to develop gross motor skills, and manipulating play dough to build muscle strength for early writing.
Parents consistently speak highly of the care and support their children receive, praising staff for their responsiveness to questions about progress and for implementing appropriate support.

Excellent nursery. My children attend holiday club and are always happy to go in. Excellent nutritional meals. All staff are extremely caring and know my children well. Couldn’t feel more comfortable in leaving them :)

I am very happy with Humpty Dumpty. My son (2) was upset to start with but the staff were so kind and professional that he settled in really quickly and he loves going now. They plan fun activities for the children and provide good wholesome meals. Thanks for being such a great team!

Lovely "home" atmosphere. Staff are lovely and welcoming throughout childs education, not just at sign up. My son has learnt a lot while attending and his confidence has soared. Really good meals and very helpful with food intolerances. Definately recommend

The girls there are lovely. My daughter is starting to enjoy being at nursery. She is starting to settle in very nicely. She tells me all about her day once i pick her up.

Two. I use to go here when I was a kid and some of the children were really ignorant. But most importantly, the lady there with the blonde hair was extremely rude to me to the point I would play she would be angry and scare me. Whenever my mom would bring me here I would cry, she then found out what the lady was doing and transferred me somewhere else, now I am 15 and sometimes see that woman around. And I just hope she has changed
