Opening hours
8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday
Spring Bishops Hull operates from a portacabin on a school site in Bishops Hull, Somerset. Established in 2022, this childcare setting provides full-day care for children aged 1 to 3 years, open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, all year round.
The nursery provides a broad curriculum that supports children in gaining confidence and a curiosity for learning through their play. Children respond easily to staff, who offer a caring and reassuring approach, helping them make good progress from their starting points.
Staff effectively encourage communication and language development, reinforcing words and phrases for children with English as an additional language, although they are working to further enhance opportunities for children to use their home languages. Outdoor play opportunities are provided daily, allowing children to enjoy activities such as crawling through a colourful pop-up tunnel and playing hide-and-seek in a wooden tepee, and older children learn about road safety while on ride-on toys.
The nursery focuses on supporting children's personal, social, and emotional well-being from a young age, and parents consistently comment positively on staff and communication.

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents comment positively about staff and say communication is very good.
Inclusion & environment
The range of outdoor play opportunities is sometimes limited and does not promote all areas of children's learning consistently well, such as in supporting those children who learn best outdoors. Children have opportunities for daily exercise, including crawling through a colourful pop-up tunnel and playing hide-and-seek in a wooden tepee. Older children develop good control of their ride-on toys, learning about road safety.
Staff reinforce words and phrases for children with English as an additional language to encourage their speech. However, they have not fully considered providing opportunities for them to use key words from their home language to support them to develop their speech and understanding more effectively.
