About this day nursery

30am to 6pm, all year round, providing childcare for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 07/06/2023.

Children are noted to enter the nursery happily and engage in learning with confidence. The dedicated leadership and management team has designed a well-sequenced curriculum that builds on what children already know and can do, helping them to make good progress.

Staff work closely with parents to actively seek early help for children when needed, which supports all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who receive funding, in making good progress. The curriculum includes daily access to a variety of sensory experiences like dough, sand, and water, carefully planned for each age group to build on their skills.

Outdoor learning is a key part of the nursery day, with staff purposefully providing children in each age group with daily access to outdoor space. In a trial, some children sleep outdoors, following research into the benefits of fresh air.

The nursery provides a safe, supportive, and well-structured environment. Staff are professional and caring, and communication with parents is excellent. I am very satisfied with the care my son receives. I’ve noticed such a positive change in his confidence and social skills since he started. Highly recommend!

The best nursery I could have ever asked for for my baby. He comes home everyday so happy and content. The staff are so lovely and are so informative. And the app is full of updates and pictures. Couldn’t recommend this nursery and the fabulous staff enough. Thanks for everything you do for my son

So happy with the nursery, my little boy was at his old setting a year and never settled as well as he has here. He talks about nursery all the time at home and says how he loves the staff. He’s always happy to go in even if he’s been off a couple of weeks for school holidays. So thank you 😊
