What parents say

Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection

Parents report that communication sharing and practitioners' support are excellent.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

A strength of the setting is the support it puts in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Practitioners swiftly identify children who would benefit from additional support. This leads to a first-class support programme and extremely effective partnership working with a range of professionals and parents and carers. Managers use additional funding well. Children with SEND achieve the best possible outcomes.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact on children's learning. Children's laughter and excitement can be heard across the field. Practitioners provide activities on uneven ground, which supports young children to develop their balance and coordination. Practitioners encourage older children to climb the climbing frame. Children develop resilience and learn about risk. Children are fascinated as they dig in soil and curiously search through leaves and debris looking for insects.

Triangle House Day Nursery is wonderful. It's just wonderful in every aspect. The staff, communication is excellent, the space, activities, the whole environment is safe, it's fun, it's kind. I genuinely could not be happier with the care my son receives here. My little boy only goes one day a week, and that might feel like he should get lost/they don't know him as well - they know him inside out. He loves all the staff, they know his needs and how he likes to play. The food is genuinely fantastic, he eats well. He talks non stop about his day, and his little face lights up as soon as we turn the corner towards the building. Zero stress dropping him off/picking him up. It's just a lovely support for my family. Thank you.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Triangle House Nursery and would highly recommend to other parents. Mason's settled in brilliantly and we've had nothing but positive experiences. All the staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely excited to see Mason in a morning. Every interaction we've had with the nursery has been positive, and it's clear that the staff truly care about each child's wellbeing and development and it’s obvious he enjoys being there. Rachel’s weekly menus deserve a special mention - the food is nutritious, balanced and varied every week and it’s a good feeling to know he’s eating well while he’s at nursery. We love the app to see what he’s been up to in the day and to get updates on his development but it’s handy for the practical bits like holidays and easily contacting his key workers too.

I couldn't recommend Triangle House more. 18 month old starting nursery after being with his mum full-time certainly was a daunting prospect. But the whole team made it honestly such an easy process. We were reassured and made to feel welcome the whole way through. Just a month later and our son ends every day with a smile on his face and has formed great bonds with everyone at Triangle House. All the children are happy and so are the staff it's a lovely home from home setting with great safe access to the outdoors. If you are thinking about a nursery locally just go and look around and you will see exactly what I mean 😊

We joined Triangle a few months back having moved here from London, They have been so attentive with my son’s learning and development that we’ve seen remarkable improvements in a very short space of time. No two days are ever the same -lots of play, lots of activities, cooking classes, reading, outdoor play, arts and crafts! Having tried a couple of other nurseries - where his development was largely stagnant, Triangle, by far has been outstanding. Staff are always very responsive, taking the time to talk us through his day, his development goals, what he did, what he learnt etc. It’s very much a joint venture between parent and nursery. I couldn’t be happier - my son loves going. We feel very reassured that he’s in safe hands. Our only regret is that we didn’t put him in sooner! Overall - great nursery! Great staff! Great environment! Highly recommend.

I couldn’t ask for anything more from a nursery. Triangle House is exceptional in everything they do. Not only do my boys love their time spent there, they are also learning an incredible amount. Not to mention the beautiful, nourishing food they are fed every day. The staff are so nurturing and amazing at what they do. Thank you for taking such good care of my little ones.
