The day nursery is open all year round, from 7.30am to 6pm. Ofsted inspected the nursery in July 2024 and gave it an overall rating of Good. According to the inspection report, children’s communication and language are well supported through conversations and expressive book reading. Outdoor activities like balancing on beams and climbing over frames help to develop physical skills. The inspector noted that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well and that staff help children self-regulate their emotions using 'zones of colour'. Parents told the inspector they were highly complimentary about the staff and are kept informed of progress through an online system. What it's like Staff prioritise children's confidence, well-being, and learning through strong partnerships with parents and an effective key-person system, ensuring all needs are understood. Children behave very well, quickly learning routines and safety rules within a calm atmosphere where staff gently support them to play and learn together. Staff use 'zones of colour' to help children self-regulate emotions and encourage social skills like turn-taking and kindness.

The staff are so caring, kind and professional, I feel very confident leaving her in their hands! Every morning when we arrive she launches herself into their arms, smiling - a real testament to how much she trusts them and thinks of them as family. Her development and learning as been amazing to see. I love that they are also super flexible and understanding if we need to occasionally swap days. I feel very lucky to have found Playhouse - it's a true gem and a very special place.

All the carers are incredibly kind, professional and patient, and she reaches for them, smiling, every time we bring her in. Ms Aysha, Ms Lucky, Ms Kinjal and the whole team are just amazing, and our daughter calls them her "best friends". It's been amazing to watch our daughter's development since she has been at Playhouse. We feel very lucky to have found it.
