Piglets Day Care

About this day nursery

Piglets Day Care, established in 2007, is a childcare setting located in Holmfirth, offering an all-year-round service for children aged 0-4 years. 30am to 6pm, it closes only for one week at Christmas and on bank holidays.

The nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 12th July 2024, reflecting its commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment. Children at Piglets Day Care arrive happy and excited, quickly forming sensitive relationships with staff who know them well.

The setting provides a rich array of toys, resources, and well-planned activities that foster development across all age groups. For instance, younger children explore sensory materials like sand and soil, while older children engage in activities that build literacy and numeracy skills.

Staff maintain high expectations for children's behaviour, promoting kindness and respect. The curriculum is broad and stimulating, encouraging children to develop strong physical skills through climbing and balancing, and nurturing their independence through daily routines such as handwashing and toileting.

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress, supported by a dedicated coordinator. Outdoor learning is a valued part of the daily routine, with children enjoying imaginative play like creating a pretend bus and actively participating in growing vegetables in the nursery garden, proudly sharing their progress with visitors.

Parents consistently report that their children "thrive and flourish" here, highlighting the positive partnerships fostered by the dedicated staff team.
