Playmates Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Playmates Day Nursery, established in 2018, is a childcare setting in Stoke-On-Trent offering a warm and inclusive environment for children aged 0-4 years. 30pm, the nursery focuses on an effective balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities.

Children are observed to be happy, confident, and making good progress from their starting points, developing strong bonds with attentive staff. The nursery excels in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with staff working closely with parents and other professionals to achieve positive outcomes.

Outdoor learning is a key part of the curriculum, with opportunities for children to develop physical skills and explore in the fresh air, including regular outings to the local park for climbing activities. The curriculum also encourages an understanding of the world, including life cycles and diverse cultures, and children have many opportunities to explore their senses with activities like smelling different herbs.

Staff also support early literacy and language development, fostering a love of books and helping older children with early writing skills.
