About this day nursery

45pm all year round. Located in Oldham, OL4 4QS, the nursery has achieved an overall "Good" rating from Ofsted, with its latest inspection on 16/09/2022 highlighting many strengths.

Children are observed to be eager and excited upon arrival, happily engaging with staff and showing enthusiasm for the day's activities and explorations. The nursery excels in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), working tirelessly with external agencies to ensure children receive the support they deserve, with parents fully involved in targeting any learning gaps.

Leaders have transformed the outdoor space into an "oasis of fun and adventure," where children delight in making "mud pies" and "magic potions," while pre-schoolers enjoy assault courses and babies explore sand and water. The strong focus on emotional well-being is evident through initiatives like the "zen den," which helps children discuss their feelings and build secure friendships.

Parents consistently praise the staff for going the "extra mile," and the team describes the nursery as "one big family," a testament to the supportive leadership and inclusive atmosphere where children learn about differences and similarities.
