About this day nursery

Springboard Nursery offers care and education for children from six weeks to five years old, aiming to provide a positive experience that supports each child's individual needs. The day nursery encourages development through a wide array of activities, including country days, dance, music, movement, cookery, and interactions with animals.

They operate across three distinct rooms: one for babies, another for toddlers, and a dedicated pre-school area, ensuring age-appropriate environments for learning and play. Each child is assigned a "key person" to facilitate close communication with both the child and their family, fostering strong relationships and ensuring smooth transitions throughout their early years journey.

The day nursery prides itself on its positive, friendly, supportive, and professional approach, committed to maintaining the highest quality of care. Their curriculum strictly adheres to Ofsted expectations and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, preparing children thoroughly for their transition to school in a fun and safe setting.

Staff are highly qualified, with many holding or working towards NVQ Level 3 in Early Years Education, and senior staff often possess higher qualifications. All team members are DBS checked and selected for their enthusiasm and dedication to child development, with staff-to-child ratios maintained in accordance with government guidelines: 1:3 for under twos, 1:4 for two to three-year-olds, and 1:8 for children aged three and above.

Our ethos

Amazing nursery, my little boy has attended since he was 10months old and the care given through all rooms has been amazing. His key workers have always had a fantastic bond with him and help him reach his next steps. They have cared and natured for him as if he was their own. My little one will really miss everyone when he goes to school in September.

I could not recommend this nursery enough… the way they looked after my child from being 13 months old up until he left at 4 for school. All of the staff there are an absolute credit to the children and they are all amazing. I would like to give an honourable mention in particular to Angel, Maddie and last but not least, Sam. the things you have done for my child and got him to where he needs to be in his journey and development I can’t thank you enough and I will forever be grateful. I could sit here and say positive things about each staff member and the bond they have with my child is honestly so special. It’s a bittersweet feeling him leaving but from the bottom of my heart thank you x

Thank you so much for the wonderful preschool graduation that you put on for the children and parents today. There was clearly so much thought and preparation that had gone into it and lots of lovely keepsakes for us to take away. Thank you so much, you all went above and beyond to give the children a heartfelt send off xx
