About this day nursery

The curriculum is well-planned and ambitious, with staff demonstrating a good understanding of how to support children and build on their existing knowledge and skills. Children are encouraged to be independent and confident, quickly settling into routines.

The nursery excels in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, proactively identifying learning gaps and engaging external professionals and parents to ensure comprehensive support. Funding is effectively used to acquire specific resources tailored to individual learning needs.

Outdoor learning is a key feature, with children developing physical skills through activities such as balancing, climbing, and using wheeled toys, skilfully navigating bikes and scooters while being mindful of others. Staff foster strong communication and language skills through extensive dialogue, allowing children ample time to process thoughts and respond.

They also help children develop an understanding of emotions and the impact of their behaviour on others, promoting problem-solving and social awareness.

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported. Gaps in learning are quickly identified and discussed with parents. Staff are proactive in getting professionals onboard to ensure children and families get the support they need. Funding is used to good effect to purchase specific resources that best support the children's individual learning needs.

Outdoor space

Children's physical skills are developing well. Staff provide opportunities for children to balance and climb, and wheeled toys are made available for children's differing abilities. Children skilfully manoeuvre scooters and balance bikes down the slope and steer between cones, taking account of the space and others around them.

The Pre-school staff are warm and welcoming. They really care about the children at their setting and always have varied and engaging activities for the children each day. I’d really recommend this setting for all children 2 and over.

My daughter attended Netherthong Pre-school and her brother joined her for the Out of School and Holiday Clubs. The staff are really friendly, and it has is a lovely community feel. Our daughter loved her time there, and it really prepared her for moving on to Reception last September.

We couldn’t be happier with this preschool. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and wellbeing. It’s clear that they create a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Our daughter has thrived here—socially, emotionally, and academically. She comes home every day full of stories about what she’s learned and the fun she’s had with her teachers and friends. The activities are creative and engaging, and it’s obvious that a lot of thought goes into helping each child develop at their own pace. Communication with parents has also been excellent. We always feel informed and included, which gives us real peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found such a caring and dedicated team. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and inspiring place for their child!

This is a really wonderful nursery and one of the best options if you’re looking for a nurturing and welcoming environment. My daughter has been attending since September 2025 and has had such a positive experience, she truly loves being there. My daughter has some speech delay, and the staff have gone above and beyond to support her development. Their care, patience, and dedication have made a real difference, and we’ve seen great progress. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and caring setting for their child.
