Treetops Worksop

About this day nursery

Treetops Worksop, located in Worksop, S81 7AZ, is a childcare setting on non-domestic premises that received a "Good" rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 14 February 2023. 30am to 6pm, catering to children aged 1 to 4 years.

Children at Treetops Worksop eagerly participate in activities, developing close attachments with key staff, which helps them feel safe and secure. They are active in their play, building good physical skills and developing confidence.

Outdoors, children use their spatial awareness to run and jump, while indoors they demonstrate precision in activities such as making Valentine's Day perfume with tweezers. Staff excel at getting to know children and their families, even providing resources to support transitions like the arrival of new siblings, which children proudly share.

They are also responsive to children's emerging interests, using them to extend learning and encourage sensory exploration, such as smelling flowers. Children behave well, understanding nursery expectations like ‘walking feet’ and ‘kind hands’, and are offered opportunities to develop independence, for example, by serving their own food and drinks during mealtimes.

However, the report noted that staff do not always offer clear instructions when children are getting ready for outdoor play or during handwashing. Parents commend the friendly staff and the strong relationships their children build with their key person.

The nursery provides home learning packs to support learning about feelings, shapes, and letters. Leaders ensure staff have access to extensive e-learning and internal training, including specific training for working with babies, enhancing their understanding of the key person's role.
