About this day nursery

St George's Nursery School, established in 2019 and located in Oadby, Leicestershire, provides childcare for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery operates year-round, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, offering full-day care.

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support, with staff collaborating closely with parents and other professionals to ensure targeted assistance and progress.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to provide targeted support that helps individual children make progress. The manager ensures that additional funding such as early years pupil premium is used carefully to support any emerging gaps in children’s learning and to broaden their experiences.

Outdoor space

Staff do not plan well enough for outdoor play. Opportunities for children to benefit from fresh air and take part in physical exercise outdoors are not consistent. Some children spend very limited time outside.

EAL / language support

Staff support children to understand similarities and differences, reflecting individual cultures and heritage in planned activities and discussing family photos displayed in children's rooms.
