About this day nursery

Little Angels Pre-Prep School and Day Nursery, established in 2004, provides a warm and nurturing environment for children aged 0-4 years. 30pm, the nursery focuses on preparing children for their next stage of learning, fostering independence through activities like self-serving at mealtimes and taking off their own coats.

The staff build strong bonds with the children, helping them to feel secure and happy, as reflected in the latest Ofsted report which rated the nursery as 'Good'. Children are encouraged to develop their social skills by playing cooperatively, taking turns, and engaging in imaginative role-play.

The curriculum places a strong emphasis on language development, with staff immersing toddlers and pre-schoolers in a wide range of vocabulary and skilfully developing their communication skills. For children who speak multiple languages, staff communicate in their home language where appropriate, celebrating linguistic diversity.

Physical development is also a priority, with many opportunities for both fine and gross motor skill enhancement, including creative activities like painting with pipettes and outdoor play on climbing frames and bicycles. For children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), staff are quick to identify those who may need additional support, implementing targeted interventions and collaborating with external professionals and parents to ensure comprehensive care and learning.

Parents consistently praise the warmth of the staff and the regular communication, describing the nursery as like a "second home".
