About this day nursery

Kiddiwinks 16, registered with Ofsted in 2016, provides childcare from non-domestic premises in Guisborough for children aged 2–8 years. Rated as 'Good' by Ofsted following its latest inspection on 19 March 2024, the day nursery operates Monday to Friday during term time from 7:30 am to 5:45 pm, with flexible hours offered during school holidays.

The manager and staff have significantly enhanced their safeguarding knowledge, ensuring a safe and happy environment where children benefit from a caring and nurturing approach. Children have access to a wide range of exciting resources and activities, which they can independently explore, including role-playing.

The setting focuses on developing children's personal, social, and emotional skills, working closely with families to promote continuity in children's care and learning. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a particular focus on developing children's speech and language skills through modelling and introducing new words during activities.

Staff utilise assessments, such as the progress check for two to three-year-olds, to identify and support children with potential developmental delays, and they swiftly refer concerns to other agencies for support.
