About this day nursery

Sunny Bright Day Nursery, located in Sprotbrough, Doncaster, is a HighScope Quality Assured facility dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating educational environment for children from 4 months up to their 5th birthday. The nursery accommodates up to 41 children and maintains strong connections with local primary schools, notably Richmond Hill Primary Academy, to ensure a smooth transition for its attendees.

The nursery offers a child-oriented setting where practitioners foster independence in learning. Sunny Bright Day Nursery is committed to inclusivity, offering equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practices, ensuring all children, regardless of their background or individual needs, are welcomed and supported.

They have established a comprehensive admissions policy that extends to children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), involving consultations with parents, inclusion coordinators, and external agencies to tailor support. The nursery is structured with different rooms catering to specific age groups: the Star Room for infants aged 0-2, the Sun Room for toddlers aged 2-3, and the Rainbow Room for preschoolers aged 3-5.

Additionally, a dedicated Sensory Room provides a calm space for all children. Home visits are available for children with SEND to help them settle in comfortably, and all children undergo a pre-entry meeting with their key person to gather essential information and facilitate a smooth transition into the setting.
