Tower View Nursery with Peelers out of School Club

About this early years setting

Tower View Nursery, registered with Ofsted in 2005, operates from Old Hall Primary School in Bury, providing childcare for children aged 1 to 11 years. 30am to 6pm, the nursery offers a warm and friendly environment where children are happy and feel safe, as noted in its latest Ofsted inspection on 26 August 2022, which rated the nursery as 'Good'.

The nursery prides itself on an effective key-person system, helping children develop a strong sense of belonging. Staff support children in understanding and managing their feelings and behaviour in age-appropriate ways.

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress, with the curriculum following their interests and encouraging child-led play. Outdoor learning is a key feature, with children collecting herbs from the garden for the cook to use in meals, such as garlic bread.

The nursery fosters positive attitudes towards learning through diverse activities, including building with blocks, sand play, and imaginative role-playing. Children also learn about the world through activities like reading messages in "wonderful me jars" and going on local trips.

The inspectors observed excellent parent satisfaction, with many describing the nursery as a "home-from-home" where staff "really care" and help children "flourish". The nursery also maintains strong links with local schools and external professionals to ensure continuity of care and learning.
