Is Trimdon's Little Tykes suitable for under-twos?

The setting takes children from 0 to 4 years old, so it does accept under-twos. This age range covers babies, toddlers and pre-school children within the same full-day care provision.

What outdoor space does Trimdon's Little Tykes have?

Outdoor learning is a clear focus. Children use natural materials and tactile resources outside, and the area supports climbing, balancing and jumping. They also work through obstacle courses with crates and planks, which helps them practise sharing and taking turns.

What type of nursery is Trimdon's Little Tykes?

It is registered as childcare on non-domestic premises and operates as full day care. That places it in a nursery-style setting rather than care delivered from a home address.

Open hours at Trimdon's Little Tykes?

The setting opens Monday to Thursday from 8am to 4.30pm, and Friday from 9am to 2pm. It runs for 50 weeks each year and is open all year rather than term time only.

How did Trimdon's Little Tykes do at its last Ofsted inspection?

The latest overall judgement was Good, following the inspection on 03/05/2023.

How does Trimdon's Little Tykes support children with SEND?
