About this day nursery
Pebbles Pre-School & Day Care, located in Mundesley, operates as an all-year childcare setting on non-domestic premises, welcoming children aged 1 to 11 years. The nursery is open Monday to Friday from 8am until 6pm for 51 weeks of the year.
The latest Ofsted inspection, on 26th September 2024, rated the nursery as 'Good' overall, highlighting a strong sense of belonging among children. Staff at Pebbles Pre-School & Day Care prioritise building strong relationships with families, aided by home visits before children start.
This approach ensures that individual needs are met, with routines for babies, such as eating and sleeping, being followed from home. The learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, has been reorganised and enhanced.
Children benefit from ample outdoor time daily, with older children having opportunities to explore a dedicated nature area where they learn about safety, remembering the rule of 'no licking and no picking'. Staff are adept at identifying children who are slower to speak and provide targeted support, including regular focused speech and language sessions with in-house specialist support.
Children are encouraged to be independent, learning self-care routines like handwashing and tidying up. They also develop coordination through activities like safely handling tools.
Staff support children's emotional well-being effectively, helping them manage their feelings and respect others through activities, stories, and discussions. Partnerships with parents are strong, with clear information provided about children's learning and progress.
