About this day nursery

Westside Day Nursery, established in 2013, operates during term-time, Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, catering to children aged 2 to 4 years old. The nursery received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 26/10/2023.

Children are warmly welcomed by staff who understand their individual needs and interests, fostering an environment where children happily engage in activities upon arrival.

Resources are easily accessible, encouraging children to make their own choices. The robust outdoor learning environment allows children to explore their surroundings, such as using magnifying glasses to observe worms in the garden.

The nursery also places importance on healthy eating, oral hygiene, and general well-being. An experienced Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) works closely with key persons, families, and external agencies to provide timely interventions and targeted support, ensuring that all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

As a result, children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their learning and development. The nursery's special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) is experienced in her role. She is knowledgeable about the children who attend that require additional support. The SENCo works closely with each child's key person, families and agencies to ensure that they receive timely interventions and targeted support to meet their development needs. This ensures that children continue to make good progress in their learning and development.

Outdoor space

For instance, when children find a worm in the garden, they collect magnifying glasses to watch as the worm goes into the soil. Children proudly demonstrate how they put on their own coats.

Lovely nursery. My daughter and nephew loved being in there, always learning and having fun. My daughter left when she was 4, now she's nearly 7 and keeps talking about the lovely staff and friends she left there. Can't wait to bring my little one to start her nursery journey with them.

Westside day nursery is an excellent nursery, it has fantastic outside play area that the children can access any time they like. Lots of things for them to enjoy inside too from cosy corners for story time to lots of ways to be crafty and creative. Each child is nurtured and encouraged. The food for the children is great and they are only too happy to accommodate any extra needs your child might have. The staff are wonderful, helpful and reassuring. They have days through the year when parents can go and play alongside their children and see a bit of what they get up to. They also have had fun days with bouncy castles and face painting. This really is an excellent nursery and we love it
