About this day nursery

Nurture Nursery & Pre School Mount Hawke, established in 2023, operates year-round from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, providing childcare for children aged 0-4 years. Rated 'Good' by Ofsted following its inspection on 22 April 2025, the nursery offers a broad curriculum designed to foster curiosity and eagerness to learn.

Staff at this childcare setting build warm relationships with children, helping them feel safe and secure while guiding them to progress from their individual starting points. Children of all ages are encouraged to engage in outdoor play, developing coordination and social skills in the fresh air.

For example, toddlers learn to share and cooperate as they pour water between pots in the outdoor 'nature kitchen', and preschoolers can also enjoy quiet time with books both indoors and outdoors. The nursery is committed to supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND); when additional guidance is needed, staff work closely with parents to provide enhanced support.

The curriculum also places a strong emphasis on developing children's mathematics, literacy, and communication skills, preparing them well for the next stages of their learning.

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff help toddlers develop social skills, teaching them to share and cooperate. For example, children take turns pouring water between pots in the outdoor 'nature kitchen'. Preschool children relax, sitting in a cosy corner, looking at books or listening to staff read to them, indoors and outdoors.
