About this day nursery

Naturally Learning Nansledan is a purpose-built nursery in Newquay, Cornwall, designed to provide a calm yet stimulating environment for children from birth to five years old. Situated within the Duchy of Cornwall development, the nursery boasts a contemporary, open-plan design that fosters a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The philosophy centres on nurturing each child holistically, recognising the significance of early brain development. They prioritise children's well-being, fostering positive physical, emotional, social, and intellectual growth.

The nursery offers a spacious indoor environment for free movement and exploration, complemented by extensive outdoor spaces including a walled garden with various play areas, quiet wildlife zones, an outdoor classroom, and an allotment.

Healthy, home-cooked seasonal meals are a cornerstone of their approach, promoting brain development and healthy eating habits. The nursery also provides peaceful indoor and outdoor spaces for rest and reflection, tailoring sleep routines to individual needs.

They emphasise strong relationships with parents and employ well-qualified educators who build authentic bonds with the children, supported by a Key Person system.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff effectively communicate children's needs. For example, they share next steps for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) each week with colleagues. All staff skilfully adapt children's play so children are always challenged and progressing. Children display extremely positive attitudes to learning and make swift progress, including disadvantaged children and children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Staff help all children to develop a love of books and retell stories in exciting ways. For example, they act out stories in the garden area using large play equipment to mimic aspects of the book such as tiptoeing through 'caves' and 'squelching' in real mud.
