The day nursery operates from 7:30 am until 6 pm on weekdays, 51 weeks a year, offering an all-year service. The latest Ofsted inspection, on 2nd March 2023, rated the nursery as 'Good'. Children are welcomed into a warm and happy environment, quickly supported by kind and caring staff who help them settle in for the day. Strong bonds are formed between children and their key persons, providing comfort and a sense of security. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour, fostering kindness and consideration towards others from a young age. This is evident as toddlers are praised for sharing and pre-schoolers show affection toward their friends. The nursery promotes positive attitudes to learning, with children showing good levels of engagement in activities, from eagerly joining in songs to recognising familiar objects. Staff regularly assess each child's progress, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), allowing for prompt recognition of any learning gaps and swift implementation of early intervention strategies. This ensures all children make good progress. The curriculum is broad and builds on children's knowledge and skills, incorporating child-led activities to maintain engagement. Healthy lifestyles are prioritised, with children having access to drinking water and enjoying nutritious meals, adapted for dietary requirements. Outdoor learning is a daily occurrence, with activities such as mark-making with water and brushes for younger children and wheeled toys for older children, supporting physical development. Parenting partnerships are a strength, with parents feeling well-informed through regular updates and invited to nursery activities. They value the relationships staff have with their children, who enjoy their time at the nursery. What it's like Children arrive happy at this warm and welcoming nursery.

The staff are amazing and keep me updated throughout the day via the online app and also in person. They share photos of my child’s day and how they interact within activities and with their friends. My son absolutely loves the staff in toddlers and pre school! They have really taken the time to get to know him and his needs which has made a huge impact on him settling in. When we speak about going to nursery he gets so excited when we go through all of the teams names. My daughter is so comfortable in the baby room, she is already bossing everybody around! I can’t thank them all enough for the love and care they show. The staff plan in depth activities for the children and also are able to link these in with what we get up to at the weekend as a family which is so lovely. They eat the yummiest meals which are freshly home cooked on site every day, this is amazing and puts my mind at ease that they will always have a full tummy. As a new mum of 2 very young children still learning everyday it’s so nice to be able to share this with the staff at kidzrus irlam and they are always on hand for advice or a chat when ever it’s needed. Thank you to everybody at Kidzrus Irlam for all you do for my babies!

Communication is fantastic also, I always get pictures and little updates through out the day and when wren asks them to “show mummy” they are quick to send me pictures to make her happy.

Our little boy has been going here since he was 9 months old. It was the best decision we made. Every single member of staff have been and are amazing with all the children and parents. You can tell they generally care about every single child. They’ve been so supportive especially with us as our child went through the neurodevelopmental pathway they were with us every step of the way to help the process a little less daunting. A special mention goes towards the nurseries Senco Helen, she is the absolute best. She’s guided us through the process of the pathway and then his EHCP ready for school as well as just working with him and the staff to make every day he attended absolute wonderful. He’s loved nursery for the entire almost 4 years he attended. We loved it so much our little girl now attends and she’s coming on leaps and bounds!!

Our son was sent home multiple times with blistered, sore skin from being left in soiled nappies. We raised concerns verbally on several occasions, but nothing changed. When it happened again, we raised an official complaint. The nursery apologised and claimed they were putting in new procedures — then it happened yet again. By this point, our trust in their ability to provide even basic care was gone. Rather than acknowledging failings, we were met with a dismissive, policy-driven response. No compassion. No responsibility. Just repeated references to “we followed policy” — as if that makes neglect acceptable. The Nursery Manager, Charlene, has been consistently unhelpful throughout, hiding behind policy, refusing to take accountability, and completely ignoring the actual impact on our child. The Area Manager has been no better — we’ve tried to escalate to her numerous times and have been ignored at every turn. Frankly, she’s been as much use as a chocolate teapot: all title, no action. The point we were making that the frequency of nappy changes should be increased if a child is starting to show signs of a sore bum, was overlooked each time we raised it and they consistency replied that they checked the cameras and our son had his nappy changed. We know he had it changed, the point being that he hasn't had it changed frequently enough as he has been sat in his own faeces for hours! We took the decision to remove our son from his sessions, because we no longer trust them to keep him safe. Their response? “You still owe us the money.” When we requested a refund for sessions we paid for but could no longer safely use, we were ignored completely. When we raised the possibility of escalating to Ofsted, we were told: “Well, they won’t get your money back.” That’s the attitude — not “how can we fix this?”, but “you still owe us money.” No ownership. No accountability. Just a wall of policy excuses and silence. We’ve now been left with no option but to report the nursery to Ofsted in the hope that no other child has to experience what ours did. Do not send your child here. Policies should never come before a child’s wellbeing.

Just a wall of policy excuses and silence.\n\nWe’ve now been left with no option but to report the nursery to Ofsted in the hope that no other child has to experience what ours did.\n\nDo not send your child here.
