Our ethos

Here at Nina’s Nursery High Lane, we believe in providing our children the opportunities to be curious and have adopted the ‘Curiosity Approach’ We truly feel that enabling children the freedom to explore the world around them helps them to grow and develop into confident, secure and independent individuals. We do this by providing them with a natural holistic environment which allows them to explore, investigate and develop their own learning pathway. We aim to ensure the children’s play spaces offer a calm and tranquil environment which in turn allows each child to become more engaged in deeper levels of sustained thinking. Our children believe it’s all about TREASURE!!! Beautiful authentic resources rescued from charity shops, car boots and older generations. Here we aim to turn rubbish into treasure. We offer bright shiny beautiful items, random treasures that capture our children and educator’s imagination. These are amazing resources that offer value to play, bringing a mix of textures and stimulus that no plastic counterpart can offer.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff use assessments effectively to quickly identify any concerns about a child's development. Staff have established strong partnerships with parents and other professionals, to support children's development. Timely referrals are made to support staff to make effective adaptations for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND are well supported and make good progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

Staff enthusiastically encourage children to learn on a larger scale as they provide daily fresh air and physical exercise outdoors. Babies pull themselves up to standing as they stretch up high to paint the outside window. Older children giggle with delight as they chase staff during a game of hide and seek. They use their physical skills to squeeze into small spaces to hide.

Both my children have/are attending this nursery. I would highly recommend it. The staff are so nice, helpful and friendly. Amanda the manager is a great manager who is alawys very helpful and supportive. My son has recently started school after attending the nursery and he is doing really well I feel this is because of the great start he had at nursery learning many new skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone.
