They are so friendly, supportive and professional. I was seriously anxious about putting my child into nursery because we had hardly left him really, having no capable extended family to rely on for support. So it was a big decision, my sister’s child had such a good experience here so through hearing about their experience I knew I wanted my son to come here. And its the best decision I have made, I honestly feel so happy about leaving my son here, so much so I felt confident in the last few weeks to get back to some part time work and up the hours my son is here. In the short time he has been coming I can see a positive change in him, he is more confident to try new foods, plays with a wider range of toys at home and is just growing beautifully. Thank you to all the staff at Rydal, what you do is so important and the trust you have helped me feel to leave my son there is invaluable.

Open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00, the nursery maintains strong community ties, engaging children weekly with visits to the neighbouring residential home, as well as local excursions to the library or shops. This broadens children's experiences and fosters a sense of belonging. The nursery promotes an inclusive culture where children with special educational needs and/or disabilities confidently use signing to support their spoken language. Leaders identify individual needs early through thorough registration processes and make timely referrals to relevant agencies. Staff actively reduce barriers to children's learning with small-group times and the use of signing. Children learning English as an additional language also benefit from this approach, and the setting has achieved accreditation for embedding Makaton across all rooms. Rydal Day Nursery implements the EYFS curriculum, supported by dedicated staff who receive regular training. The environment is described as clean, nurturing, and homely, with an effective key-person system fostering emotional well-being.
