About this day nursery

30pm, all year round. The day nursery welcomes children aged 0-8 years.

Staff warmly greet children and parents upon arrival, fostering a happy and settled start to the day. An ambitious curriculum, designed by leaders with excellent knowledge of children's skills, guides learning and development.

Indoors, staff provide resources to spark imagination, leading to good progress and an eagerness to learn among the children. The day nursery prides itself on high expectations for children's behaviour, resulting in self-confident, self-esteeming children who behave impeccably.

Communication and language skills are a strong focus; staff engage in back-and-forth discussions and allow ample time for children to respond. When difficulties arise in speech and language, staff quickly seek support, including working with parents and other professionals, helping children to catch up and become confident communicators.

While outdoor interactions primarily focus on supervision rather than extending learning, there are many opportunities for children to develop large physical skills. The nursery also provides nutritious home-cooked meals by a trained chef, tailored to meet unique dietary requirements, with recipe ideas shared with parents to encourage healthy eating habits at home.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

When children encounter difficulties in their speech and language, staff swiftly seek help and support. This includes working closely with parents and other professionals. As a result, children quickly catch up and all children are becoming confident communicators.

Outdoor space

Interactions outdoors are more concerned with supervising children, rather than extending their learning. As a result, children's learning is not as well supported while playing outside. That said, there are many opportunities outdoors for children to develop their large physical skills.
