Seesaws Day Nursery in Sutton Coldfield

About this day nursery

Opened in March 1994, Seesaws Day Nursery in Sutton Coldfield provides a welcoming environment with a strong family feel, caring for children aged 1 to 4 years. 30 am until 6 pm all year round, closing only for one week at Christmas.

With a "Good" Ofsted rating, the nursery excels in providing a nurturing and stimulating setting where staff build positive, supportive relationships with children and parents. They have developed an ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum that aligns with children's interests, ensuring strong progress across all areas of learning.

A key strength is the early identification and support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff work closely with parents and professionals to provide timely support, effectively utilising additional funding for extra resources and increased adult input to meet individual needs.

Outdoor learning is also a significant feature; children are encouraged to respect nature and learn responsibility by caring for living things and growing fruit, vegetables, and flowers in the garden allotment. Staff also promote positive behaviour through clear, consistent expectations, teaching children that running is reserved for outdoor areas.

Daily circle times using tools like "feelings monsters" help children explore and label their emotions, fostering self-awareness and emotional regulation. The nursery also maintains strong community links, enriching children's experiences and deepening their understanding of the world, for instance, through visits to a nearby retirement village.
