About this day nursery

Little Angels Day Nursery, established as one of the oldest nursery providers in Essex, offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged birth to five years. The nursery operates with a strong commitment to providing high-quality care and education.

They strive to create a friendly, homely atmosphere where children can learn through play, following Ofsted guidelines. The dedicated team of experienced and qualified staff, all DBS checked, ensure the well-being and development of each child, regularly recording progress.

Little Angels emphasises a collaborative approach with parents, involving them in all aspects of nursery life, and utilising an online learning journal, BLOSSOM, to facilitate information sharing regarding a child's learning journey. The nursery focuses on a wide range of activities to promote physical, intellectual, emotional, and social skills, as well as language development, fostering initiative and imagination through both organised and free play.

Security is a priority, with nurseries monitored by CCTV. They also provide baby units specifically designed for children under two, with a gentle integration process to the older children's area as they approach their second birthday.

Additionally, at their East Tilbury location, they offer breakfast and after-school clubs for children up to 11 years old, including escort services to and from school.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff work hard to ensure the setting is fully inclusive. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive timely interventions. Leaders and staff are knowledgeable and skilled in the identification of SEND and promptly implement strategies to support children. They work closely with external professionals, which helps all children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Children follow good hygiene procedures, washing their hands after playing outside. Young children negotiate a hill in the garden, climbing and slowly coming down, maintaining their balance, and asking staff to watch their achievements.

So I called the nursery today to ask for a visit to admit my 2 year old baby the lady who talked on the phone sound very rude, tired and aggressive kept on saying me to first submit the application then visit I told her I want to see the environment in which my baby will be in while I'm at work after arguing back and forth neglecting my request she hands over the phone to the manager she told me that I can't visit unless I submit their application first in which they'll get government funding! I was so disappointed to be honest I don't think they really take care of the children in the daycare the crying noises I heard in the background by only talking to them I realised something was off! Never admit your babies before visiting the daycare first!
