About this day nursery

The latest Ofsted inspection, carried out on 17/01/2025, rated the nursery as 'Good' in overall effectiveness. Children are observed to enter the nursery with excitement, eager to participate in the diverse educational activities available.

Staff adeptly welcome families and assist children in preparing for their day. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, with staff demonstrating a clear understanding of children's learning needs.

Small-group activities are implemented to foster focus and concentration, such as babies enjoying short stories and toddlers engaging in nursery rhymes with sign language. Pre-school children are introduced to the alphabet and phonics.

Outdoors, younger children explore mark-making in the sand tray, using tools and toy cars to create patterns, while older children practice writing their names using shaving foam, developing their hand-eye coordination. The nursery effectively supports service families, using strategies like specific books and emotion beanbags to help children understand and express their feelings when a special person is away.

Parents commend the friendly staff, noting how quickly children settle, the daily updates on their child's learning, and the helpful advice provided, such as guidance on potty training.
