About this day nursery
Noahs Ark, established in 2017, provides a welcoming and organised environment for children aged 0-4 years. 45pm, the nursery focuses on ensuring children feel safe and secure, fostering close relationships between children and staff.
The curriculum is designed to be flexible and engaging, with resources carefully chosen to spark children's interests and curiosities, allowing them to make independent choices in their play. The nursery places a strong emphasis on communication and language development, with leaders and staff committed to giving every child the best possible start.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive individualised support from their key person, and leaders collaborate effectively with external agencies to ensure timely and tailored assistance, utilising additional funding to enhance development. Outdoor learning is a key part of the provision, where children can develop physical skills, independence, and resilience by engaging in activities like running, steering cars and bicycles, and navigating tyres in a large open space.
Parents consistently praise the setting and staff for their friendliness, daily feedback, and the excellent progress their children make, particularly in vocabulary. The overall effectiveness of Noahs Ark was rated as Good at its latest inspection on 13th November 2024.
