About this day nursery

Taywood Nursery School Seedlings, re-registered in Burnley, Lancashire in 2016, is a nurturing childcare setting for children up to two years old. The nursery operates during term time, from Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 6 pm.

The dedicated team of four childcare staff, all qualified to at least Level 2 in early years, focuses on supporting children's communication and language development within a language-rich environment. The curriculum is carefully designed to be aspirational, building on each child's existing knowledge and abilities, and giving priority to their progress across the prime areas of learning.

Staff use their strong understanding of child development and children's interests to create engaging activities, and employ core stories and puppets to animate learning, fostering communication and early literacy skills. There is a strong partnership with parents, who regularly comment on the progress their children make in communication and language.

The setting has an overall 'Good' Ofsted rating, with 'Good' ratings in all areas, and was previously rated 'Outstanding'.
