About this day nursery

The Haig Day Nursery, situated in Bulford, is an Ofsted-registered facility accommodating up to 65 children. They welcome children aged 6 months to 5 years and operate 50 weeks a year, closing for two weeks at Christmas and on Bank Holidays.

The nursery provides tailored settling-in sessions for new families, with the duration determined collaboratively between parents, the room Senior, and the child's key person, ensuring a smooth transition into nursery life.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They know each child's individual needs and specific requirements. Staff's ongoing relationships and collaborative working with other professionals are effective in meeting children's needs.

Outdoor space

Younger children enjoy reading stories outdoors and use small containers to transport mud into a tray to play with the toy dinosaurs. The setting has enhanced the outdoor environment by displaying letters of the alphabet and plans to improve the outdoor area further to support children who prefer to learn outside.

EAL / language support

Staff support children who speak English as an additional language. Staff use children's home languages alongside speaking English, to help children's understanding and extend their English vocabulary.
