About this day nursery

Lewsey Nursery, established in 2013, provides a nurturing and inviting environment for children aged 1 to 4 years. 30pm, the nursery focuses on creating active learners who make independent choices from a wide range of resources.

Children quickly learn routines through joyful songs, helping them transition between activities. The nursery, rated Good by Ofsted on 17th October 2022, effectively supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) through a cohesive approach, working with other professionals and a dedicated special educational needs coordinator, ensuring good progress for all.

Children benefit from regular access to the outdoor area, where they learn in the fresh air and develop healthy habits during initiatives like "healthy fitness week," building obstacle courses and strengthening muscles. Staff promote good communication and language skills by providing narratives and introducing new vocabulary, actively supporting children who speak English as an additional language.

The curriculum focuses on building skills for future learning, such as manipulating dough to develop hand strength for early writing. Furthermore, staff foster independence and self-care, encouraging children to pour their own drinks, serve meals, and practice good hygiene, preparing them for school and future learning.

Parents highly value the nursery, appreciating guidance on development and access to a lending library to support learning at home.

I can't say enough good things about Lewsey Nursery! My son has been attending for a short while, and we are already seeing wonderful progress. The staff are incredibly friendly and caring, creating a warm and welcoming environment for the children. From the very first day, my son felt comfortable and happy, thanks to the nurturing atmosphere provided by the dedicated team. They genuinely care about each child’s individual needs and development. It's clear that they go above and beyond to ensure the children are not only learning but also enjoying their time at the nursery. We've noticed significant improvements in our son’s social skills and confidence. He’s always excited to share what he’s learned and the fun activities he’s done during the day. It's a joy to see him so engaged and thriving. I highly recommend Lewsey Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and positive environment for their child. The staff's commitment to the children's well-being and development is truly outstanding. Thank you, Lewsey Nursery, for making such a positive impact on our son's early education!
