The staff are so kind and nurturing and go above and beyond to support not just your child but you as a parent whenever you need it. My little girl has gone from being shy/anxious with other children to thriving and being full of confidence (because of the extra play plans the nursery put in place to support us with this). My little girl always comes home full of stories of their adventures out in the woods that day, she has so much fun here and I love that she's not cooped up indoors. I will always recommend this nursery and will be here for many years to come!",

              "reviewBody": "Since starting at the nursery December 2024 we have found the staff and the setting at Middlewood Nature Nursery to be amazing for our daughter. She is coming on leaps and bounds with her confidence and skills - and we know a massive factor in her development are the nursery setting & staff, particularly her key worker, who has worked so hard to settle her in successfully (and settle our nerves). We had no idea how we were going to cope with our baby going to nursery whilst we returned to work, but we knew we wanted her to attend a forest school setting. Being outdoors is so important to us, it is where our daughter is her happiest and most content. We’ve also found that our baby is hardly ever poorly, and we’re certain this is because she is spending the majority of her time outside!\n\nFrom the very first contact we had with staff at the nursery we found the staff to be so polite and welcoming. As we are a same sex couple we have found the MNN staff and parent community to be super inclusive.\n\nWe know our daughter has the best days when she is at nursery, she comes home happy and often with new skills or words. Her key worker encourages her signing with Makaton, as we sign with our daughter at home, this helps with consistency and means a lot to us.\n\nThe nursery staff and cook have also been great about allergies and we are confident our daughter won’t eat wanting she is allergic too whilst she’s there!\n\nWe’re so happy we chose this nursery and can’t thank them enough for everything so far.",

She completely thrives in the outdoor setting, the holistic approach so closely aligned to our own core family values that she immediately feels at home whenever she arrives at nursery.\n\nShe and the staff have formed incredibly strong bond, and her development in so many areas, including speech (both verbal and Makaton), confidence, empathy, bravery, kindness, to name but a few, has so exceeded any expectations we could ever have had.\n\nMiddlewood encourages children to ask questions, to self-assess situations, and ultimately make their own decisions; thinking for themselves.\n\nI cannot commend the staff highly enough, constantly ensuring our daughter is safe, happy and incredibly well fed.\n\nThere is such a family feel about this nursery, it is a wonderful place for children to blossom. I cannot recommend highly enough.",

We picked the nursery because of the unique opportunity for her to get lots of outdoor based play and learning opportunities, and she loves her days out with her friends in the woods. She’s formed close bonds with her group, and all the wonderful staff. We’ve found the staff looking after Ivy to be kind, caring and nurturing, and they’ve extended this same kindness to us too. We feel certain that she’s in good hands, and having lots of fun when she’s at nursery.",

## About this day nursery

Middlewood Nature Nursery, which has been operating since 2014, offers childcare on non-domestic premises in Sheffield, catering to children aged 1 to 4 years. The nursery operates all year round, open Monday to Friday from 8am until 6pm for 51 weeks of the year.

The latest inspection, conducted on 14/07/2025, rated the overall effectiveness as Inadequate. The report highlighted repeated weaknesses in risk assessments, child supervision, hygiene practices, and staff training, supervision, and support, indicating significantly poor leadership.

What it's like

The provision is inadequate. The provider has not taken steps to make, or maintain, the improvements required at the last inspection, leading to repeated weaknesses in risk assessments, child supervision, hygiene practices and staff training, supervision and support. This demonstrates significantly poor leadership and does not support children's safety or well-being. The deployment of staff does not meet children's needs, and leaders fail to understand or deliver a curriculum that ensures children make good progress in their learning, resulting in disengaged children who do not make expected progress. Despite weaknesses, children arrive happily and enjoy warm relationships with staff, who share daily information with parents, giving children confidence to explore.

Inspector highlights

-   Staff share information with parents each day about the activities children have enjoyed and their care routines. 
-   Children know to stop and look both ways when crossing a road, checking for cars approaching.

Areas to develop

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff meet with the parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and put in place targeted support plans. However, these plans do not always do enough to ensure children make good progress in all areas of need, and children who need additional support are often left to play for long periods without meaningful adult engagement.

Outdoor space

Children spend time at the local parks each day. When walking there, staff remind them of the rules for keeping safe, teaching road safety. Children make marks in the soil with sticks and climb trees, which helps them to develop their physical skills.

Middlewood Nature Nursery is such a lovely place, my little girl has been there for 2 years now and we've always had a positive experience here. The staff are so kind and nurturing and go above and beyond to support not just your child but you as a parent whenever you need it. My little girl has gone from being shy/anxious with other children to thriving and being full of confidence (because of the extra play plans the nursery put in place to support us with this). My little girl always comes home full of stories of their adventures out in the woods that day, she has so much fun here and I love that she's not cooped up indoors. I will always recommend this nursery and will be here for many years to come!

Since starting at the nursery December 2024 we have found the staff and the setting at Middlewood Nature Nursery to be amazing for our daughter. She is coming on leaps and bounds with her confidence and skills - and we know a massive factor in her development are the nursery setting & staff, particularly her key worker, who has worked so hard to settle her in successfully (and settle our nerves). We had no idea how we were going to cope with our baby going to nursery whilst we returned to work, but we knew we wanted her to attend a forest school setting. Being outdoors is so important to us, it is where our daughter is her happiest and most content. We’ve also found that our baby is hardly ever poorly, and we’re certain this is because she is spending the majority of her time outside! From the very first contact we had with staff at the nursery we found the staff to be so polite and welcoming. As we are a same sex couple we have found the MNN staff and parent community to be super inclusive. We know our daughter has the best days when she is at nursery, she comes home happy and often with new skills or words. Her key worker encourages her signing with Makaton, as we sign with our daughter at home, this helps with consistency and means a lot to us. The nursery staff and cook have also been great about allergies and we are confident our daughter won’t eat wanting she is allergic too whilst she’s there! We’re so happy we chose this nursery and can’t thank them enough for everything so far.

A fantastic EY setting! The staff are all well trained and are always looking for chances to expand their knowledge and expertise. There’s a great emphasis on developing independence skills as well as physical, cognitive, communication, and emotional. My little girl loves spending her days in nature. She has fantastic relationships with staff who nurture and encourage her to be her best brave and cheeky self! Couldn’t ask for more from a nursery. Will always recommend.

Our daughter is 18 months and has attended Middlewood Nature Nursery since she was six months. She completely thrives in the outdoor setting, the holistic approach so closely aligned to our own core family values that she immediately feels at home whenever she arrives at nursery. She and the staff have formed incredibly strong bond, and her development in so many areas, including speech (both verbal and Makaton), confidence, empathy, bravery, kindness, to name but a few, has so exceeded any expectations we could ever have had. Middlewood encourages children to ask questions, to self-assess situations, and ultimately make their own decisions; thinking for themselves. I cannot commend the staff highly enough, constantly ensuring our daughter is safe, happy and incredibly well fed. There is such a family feel about this nursery, it is a wonderful place for children to blossom. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Our daughter Ivy has been attending Middlewood nature nursery for nearly two years, and she loves it! It’s been amazing for her, we’ve found the mixed age groups have really helped her with her speech and language skills, and she has grown in confidence during her time here. We picked the nursery because of the unique opportunity for her to get lots of outdoor based play and learning opportunities, and she loves her days out with her friends in the woods. She’s formed close bonds with her group, and all the wonderful staff. We’ve found the staff looking after Ivy to be kind, caring and nurturing, and they’ve extended this same kindness to us too. We feel certain that she’s in good hands, and having lots of fun when she’s at nursery.
