Opportunity Group Frome & District

About this day nursery

Opportunity Group Frome & District, established in 1975, is a well-regarded childcare setting located on the grounds of Hayesdown First School in Frome, Somerset. Serving children aged two to four, the group operates during term time, from 8:55 am to 3:10 pm, Monday to Friday.

The setting has consistently maintained strong partnerships with parents, who have observed their children becoming more independent since attending. With a dedicated team of eight staff, the nursery ensures children receive high-quality education and care; the manager holds early years professional status, and all other staff hold childcare qualifications at either level 3 or 4.

The group has shown continuous improvement, moving from an 'Inadequate' rating at its previous inspection to 'Good' in its latest report on October 6, 2022, demonstrating effective leadership and a commitment to children's development and well-being. The nursery focuses on providing a broad curriculum tailored to children's developmental needs and emerging skills, fostering confidence, self-esteem, and positive attitudes towards learning through a variety of engaging activities.
