About this day nursery
My Ohana Nursery Gloucester, established in 2014, is a well-regarded childcare setting located near the centre of Gloucester. Operating as a division of Tinies UK Limited, this nursery provides a nurturing environment for children aged 0 to 4 years.
The dedicated team, comprising 10 staff members with nine holding level 3 or above early years qualifications, works to ensure children are settled and engaged in their learning journeys. The nursery is open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Thursday, and 8am to 5:30pm on Fridays, for 51 weeks of the year, closing only for Christmas and New Year.
Children benefit from daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise in a well-resourced outdoor area, where they can develop their physical skills. The management team is committed to continuous improvement, regularly monitoring staff practices and supporting professional development.
While the nursery provides good support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), they are working to enhance communication and language support for children who speak English as an additional language.
Our ethos
We’ve created a flexible curriculum that blends different educational approaches, focusing on child-centred learning, creativity, and holistic development while respecting each philosophy’s uniqueness. It encourages exploration of personal interests within a broad framework, prioritising essential skills and knowledge. Through careful observation of children’s interests and development, we tailor our approach to support their individual growth and learning needs.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Managers make good use of additional funding to meet children's individual needs. They buy resources linked to children's interests. Any gaps in children's development are quickly identified and supported.
Outdoor space
Children have daily opportunities for fresh air and exercise. They skilfully negotiate pathways when using ride-on toys and have opportunities to climb and balance in the well-resourced outdoor area.
EAL / language support
Staff do not always seek enough information from parents whose children speak English as an additional language, and use this to further develop children's communication and language skills at nursery.

1* review for the company, not the staff at my ohana. Gemma and the team are honestly an asset to Gloucester nursery however the company itself are absolutely awful. If you need funding (30 hrs or other) don’t use this nursery as if you have any delays, complications or worse funding is paused for further information the company will demand payment immediately regardless of the funding team asking for time to get it sorted. 6 months of hell from the accounts team due to on going issues with funding where every month they threaten to terminate your place and ask you to find payment yourself and they don’t care where it comes from. Even after being informed funding error was a HMRC issue they still send demanding email and awful calls asking for payment. Avoid if you don’t want a nursery which is only about the £ and not about the family or children
