Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) particularly enjoy the pop-up story books. The provider and staff give good support to children with SEND, understanding each child's needs and working well with other professionals. They also discuss children's plans with parents, which helps them plan what to teach next.
The outdoor curriculum has been developed to better support and extend children's learning. Children enjoy taking their indoor activities outside. They grab clipboards and pencils to go on minibeast hunts, getting excited when they spot ladybirds and earwigs.
This is my honest review, a little long sorry but I think it's important as a parent to give an honest review as I know how important choosing the right nursery can be. I discovered new adventures on the recommendation of another parent. My daughter started in September and has absolutely loved it from day 1, honestly can't praise the team enough. I so wish they were around when my older children were young. They provide wonderful nurturing care, fresh meals, daily updates online and at pick up. On my first tour i really liked the large open space the children are in and the fact they aren't in little rooms , but still seperated by age. There is no outdoor space connected to the nursery itself which I know some parents look for, but it is on the door step of a park which the children do visit very regularly as I receive pictures of them playing in the park and playground which is lovely and gives them that outdoor freedom so that ticked my box. The space is also bright and open and feels like the right environment for our little people to play and learn. They focus on learning through creative play and I can already see my daughters development since joining. I really like the fact you actually get to see the children playing as I know some places you just collect from the door and you don't always get an idea what they have done for the day or how they have been. There are always activities going on and monthly news letters, aswell as the daily updates on their app so I find their communication is excellent. My daughter loves going to nursery and seeing the team and her little friends, it was the best decision picking new adventures and I do highly recommend them, it really is a hidden gem.
Read on GoogleMy daughter attends New Adventurers and absolutely loves it. Everyone there is so kind and caring she speaks lovingly about them all. She’s only been there a few months but her speech has already improved. She’s counting a lot more at home we have noticed and she’s making friends she talks about all the time. I’m also am not sure what they do to get her to eat because we struggle to get her to eat anything at home, hopefully they share some of there recipes with us soon. Highly recommend!
Read on GoogleI went today as a first settle for my son. Sophie and staff made us feel so comfortable. Everyone was so lovely all the children and the adults. She made such an effort with my son he felt so comfortable himself he instantly was getting her involved in his games. I can’t wait for my son to start here fully! He will thrive so much with all the help and effort they make! Thank you so much! Xx

She has suffered recently with seperation anxiety but Sophie really took the time to bond with her during her settling in and now my daughter is enjoying her time there.
