## About this day nursery

Ringwood Day Nursery, registered with Ofsted in 2005 and located in Ringwood, Hampshire, provides full day care for children aged 0 to 4. The day nursery operates from 7:30 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, all year.

With a staff of 21, including 18 qualified to levels 2, 3, 4, and 6, the nursery creates a secure and engaging environment where children are eager to learn and separate easily from parents. A particular strength is the robust support for early literacy, where children from babies to preschoolers are encouraged to engage with books and develop early reading and writing skills.

The nursery also excels in helping children understand and express their emotions, fostering a sense of self and empathy through collaborative activities. Leadership and management are effective, providing continuous professional development for staff and maintaining strong communication with parents regarding children's progress and home learning support.

The curriculum is broad and ambitious, ensuring all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their individual starting points.

What it's like

Children arrive at the setting with a big smile and an eagerness to learn, separating from parents with ease and quickly engaging in interesting activities. They feel safe and secure in the care of kind and respectful staff. Babies frequently approach staff, showing their toys and inviting them into play.

The staff are absolutely fantastic, it’s a lovely setting. I love getting photos throughout the day of all the crazy activities (especially crafts I wouldn’t dare at home!). My daughter loves going in and I never feel worried about her.

Worst nursery ever. The whole place is unclean, the staff looks unhappy and they’re constantly sending kids home for every reason under the sun. Avoid!
