Kids Planet Great Boughton

About this day nursery

Staff at Kids Planet Great Boughton create engaging learning environments that spark children's curiosity, skilfully playing alongside them to model and extend learning. The curriculum is designed to support children in being active, with examples such as low-level furniture encouraging babies to pull themselves up to standing.

Children benefit from significant outdoor time, where they are seen confidently climbing steps and engaging in cooperative play with wheelbarrows. The setting excels in fostering positive behaviours, with staff offering calm and consistent expectations, and providing reassurance for those who need support with their emotions.

Children at Kids Planet Great Boughton develop strong bonds with staff and peers, playing cooperatively and initiating games. The nursery places a high importance on developing children's fine motor skills through various fun activities, from babies grasping toys in foam to older children using dough for creative play and engaging in mark-making.

Staff also instil a love of books, stories, and rhymes, leading to children becoming confident communicators with well-developed language skills. Independence and self-assurance are highly valued, with children confidently managing their belongings and serving meals.

The nursery makes specific provisions for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with leaders discussing targeted support strategies. The staff demonstrate a good understanding of what each child knows and needs to learn next, using children's interests to support their development.
