About this day nursery

Little Einsteins Day Nursery in Doncaster, established in 2006, provides childcare for children aged 0-7 years. The nursery fosters a positive environment where children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make steady progress in their learning and development.

The dedicated staff act as strong role models, promoting warm and respectful relationships and encouraging cooperative play. Leaders have designed a thoughtful curriculum that supports communication, emotional development, and school readiness, and they regularly review their practices to enhance outcomes for the children.

The nursery offers a "school room" for small group activities focusing on key skills for school. While the nursery excels in many areas, leaders are working to further support children who speak English as an additional language by implementing consistent high-quality teaching strategies.

Little Einsteins is open Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and benefits from positive parental feedback regarding its welcoming atmosphere and kind staff. The setting meets all safeguarding standards, ensuring children feel safe and secure.

What it's like

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make steady progress in all areas of learning and development. They are settled and happy in the nursery.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from planned interventions and consistent routines, making secure progress from their starting points. Leaders also work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to identify and respond to children's individual needs, including implementing targeted interventions and using specialist equipment to support children.

EAL / language support

Some children, such as those who speak English as an additional language, do not always benefit from consistently high-quality teaching, which can prevent them from achieving their full potential. Leaders should implement further strategies to support children who speak English as an additional language consistently and help them make the best possible progress in developing communication and language skills.

I can see at home how much nursery helps his development. He is learning so many new things every day, and it truly makes a difference. Everyone there is wonderful, caring, and very attentive to the children. We are very grateful for all the support and dedication.

We were very disappointed from our experiences. The nursery was very inflexible about food and their record keeping about incidents was very poor. The management usually blame the directors for setting policies which they have to follow. From September to November my two year old Grandson continually came home covered in bruises and occasionally bites. In the end we sent him, as others have to another nursary. On the first day he said 'Will my new friends hit me Grandad.' He told us that he used to hide under the slide so that a 5 year old wouldn't hit him. I have 35 years teaching experience and I inspect schools for SMSC. I don't lightly make this post.

I took my child there for the 1st day without an assessment put in place before second visit they told me to come in for an assessment which was OK then the second day came for my child and I got a phone call saying come pick him up as he was upset so I went and I was told from the resption lady to go and collect so which I did and as I look through the class room my child was locked outside and the teacher was over him and he was retrained by the arms leaving him with hand marks on his Wrist he was crying just to come in and he had had a toilet accident which he was toilet trained from 2 years and I don't know how that happened. I asked the teachers do u know anything about my child they said no we dont which made me think as before him starting a report was sent from portage as he has development problems . They said they haven't received anything from Portage which i knew they have because i was in the meeting with Rosie and she had it a day before which that was a lie to my child has nightmares after this and he isn't settled I would never let my child nowhere near this place. To see my child that is 3 with on going issues Restrained it was so heart breaking I didn't know what to do I stayed calm and just wanted to leave without any other child elected as what my child was going through all the children was witnessing so I just left and as I was leaving I was told they couldn't handle him for 2 hours to bring him in for 1 and that I should get a job there as my child was calm with me. Well my child was calm with me as he was told that everything was OK on his leave not over him like a giant and holder down.
