Teepee Childcare Lytham Road

About this day nursery

Teepee Childcare Lytham Road is a good-rated nursery in Blackpool, registered with Ofsted in 2022, offering full day care for children aged 0-4 years. Open all year round, Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm, the day nursery provides a warm and welcoming environment.

Staff are dedicated to creating individualised settling-in procedures for new children, offering both practical and emotional support to help them build trusting relationships and feel secure. The day nursery prioritises communication and language development, employing a diverse range of teaching methods such as basic sign language and introducing new vocabulary to children.

The curriculum is well-designed and sequenced, ensuring that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are well-prepared for their next stage of learning. Children with SEND receive strong support, benefiting from close collaboration with external professionals and staff who access targeted training for personalised care.

Partnerships with parents are a key strength, with an effective key-person system fostering deep familiarity with each child and their family. While staff effectively support children's physical development, particularly in early mobility, there is a recognised need to consistently plan the outdoor curriculum to build on children's existing knowledge and skills.

Similarly, hygiene practices are promoted, but there is an opportunity to strengthen these to ensure children consistently learn about maintaining good health.
