About this day nursery

Marble Hall Little Angels Day Nursery, situated in the historic Rolls-Royce building on Nightingale Road in Derby, is the second addition to the Little Angels family. Known for its quiet, calm, and cosy environment, the nursery places children and their families at the heart of its operations.

The facility caters to babies (12 months to 2-year-olds), toddlers (2 to 3-year-olds), and preschoolers (3 to 5-year-olds). It boasts a calming sensory room designed to support children with additional needs, and a large outdoor area divided into three sections for secure learning and exploration.

The nursery provides nutritious hot lunches daily from its sister site and offers both 15 and 30-hour funded sessions, alongside non-funded options.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. Highly skilled staff work closely with a range of external professionals to seek the help and support that children need. They know children well and create targeted support plans which helps them deliver suitable activities. Staff use a range of strategies to ensure they are always inclusive and consistently adapt their activities and the environment to meet the needs of all children. Consequently, children with SEND make excellent progress from their starting points in learning.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, children learn to throw and catch a ball. They enjoy practising scooping and pouring with sand. Children recognise their own coats and put them on before playing outdoors.

EAL / language support

Staff use a range of tools to support those who may find communication more difficult, such as children who speak English as an additional language. They use visual aids and sign language to help children express their wants and needs. As a result, all children make good progress with their communication.

I've had 3 of my children go here, and to say there amazing is an understatement. They love each child, and encourage them to be the best they can be. All my children have thrived here. Made friendships that have lasted and continued into school. You never have to worry about your children at this place. They treat each child as there own. The love they show the children is reflected massively. Highly recommend!
