About this day nursery

Lily's Nursery Ltd in Batley, West Yorkshire, provides childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 1 to 4. Registered in January 2024, the nursery provides a welcoming and homely setting where children feel safe and happy.

The dedicated staff team prioritises children's well-being and development, ensuring routines are well-established and understood by all. For example, babies learn independence by removing their shoes on arrival, and older children confidently manage their plates at mealtimes.

The setting fosters positive behaviour through Makaton signs and songs, with staff acting as excellent role models. With a strong focus on individual progress, Lily's Nursery Ltd ensures all children, including those with special educational needs or those who speak English as an additional language, receive tailored support to help them flourish and achieve their developmental milestones.

The nursery cultivates a positive safeguarding culture where everyone is responsible for children's safety and well-being. Parents are kept informed of their child's progress through an online app, receiving photos and weekly updates.

How they support every child

Staff quickly identify where children may require additional support and plan interventions to help all children make steady progress. Leaders and staff have appropriate training and expertise to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and engage with external professionals where necessary.

Outdoor space

Children confidently navigate the climbing frame and ride push bikes around the outdoor space. There is a dedicated movement room to support children's physical development.

EAL / language support

The nursery supports children who speak English as an additional language by teaching them simple words in their home languages, which is particularly helpful when they first start.
