## About this day nursery

Pamphill Pre School Nursery, established in 1992, operates during term-time, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 3pm, catering to children aged 2 to 4 years. The nursery, which primarily operates from the Pamphill First School hall, received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its latest inspection on 10 June 2022.

The curriculum is rich and varied, tailored to individual needs, with staff having very high expectations for what children can achieve. The nursery excels in supporting children with additional needs, working closely with parents and other professionals to ensure individual requirements are met and children make excellent progress.

A highlight of the setting is its strong connection with the school, allowing children and staff to utilise facilities such as the meadow and forest school for enhanced learning experiences. This outdoor learning is further encouraged with activities like measuring volume and capacity in the water tray using various equipment.

Parents frequently commend the staff for their excellent communication and deep understanding of each child. The nursery’s dedication to providing an exceptionally stimulating environment means children are motivated, independent in their learning, and ready for their transition to school, supported by highly skilled staff who adapt activities to suit all abilities.
