Pixieland Mannamead

About this day nursery

Pixieland Mannamead, established in 1996, is a childcare setting in Plymouth offering care for children aged 0-4 years. Open 51 weeks a year, from 7am to 6pm, the nursery provides all-year provision.

Babies at Pixieland Mannamead enjoy discovering the sensory room and developing their physical skills by exploring elements like the "discovery board" and musical bells. Older children engage in cooperative play and develop independence, from feeding themselves to locating their own pegs.

The nursery places importance on outdoor learning, providing good opportunities for all children to be outside and engage in physical exercise. Staff discuss the benefits of exercise and good oral health with the children, and older children participate in yoga sessions, pretending to be insects.

Parents have commented that staff "go the extra mile" and that their children have made strong progress since starting. The nursery effectively partners with parents, sharing detailed information about children's learning and celebrating achievements through displays with fictional characters.

Children's horizons are broadened through learning about other cultures and traditions, with opportunities to explore different languages, celebrations, and foods from around the world. Secure safeguarding measures are in place, including a fingerprint entry system, and children are taught about personal safety.
