About this day nursery

Linzi's Little Gems in Wakefield provides care for children from birth to nine years old. The day nursery operates all year round, opening on weekdays from 7.30am to 5.30pm. It accepts government funding for eligible two, three and four-year-olds. In its inspection of July 2022, Ofsted rated the setting 'Good', describing it as a welcoming, inclusive, and nurturing environment where babies and children are happy and feel safe. Staff support children's emotional well-being, with key persons moving between rooms with the children where possible. This particularly benefits children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

The Ofsted inspector noted that children are curious, highly motivated, and innovative. As an example, children in the garden were observed threading skipping ropes through the fence, willow, and crates to create a large spider's web. They have unhurried time to make discoveries, and they demonstrate high levels of independence. The report also recorded that parents speak highly of the setting and value the support that they and their children receive.
