About this day nursery

TAD Children's Day Nursery in Middlesbrough provides all-year care for children aged from birth to eight years. At its inspection in July 2024, Ofsted rated the day nursery as Good. The inspector reported that children arrive happy and eager, welcomed by friendly staff who plan enjoyable experiences. Staff establish secure relationships with children and positive partnerships with parents, keeping them informed about their child's progress. The report noted that there is an ethos of mutual respect, and staff encourage children to develop independence with their self-care needs.

According to Ofsted, the nursery implements a strong curriculum for communication and language, which is tailored to individual needs. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive very good support, with staff working alongside external professionals to help them make good progress.
