About this day nursery

Wright Start Day Nurseries, established in 2010, welcomes children aged 0-4 years to its "home-from-home" setting in Ingatestone. 30pm, the nursery provides a warm and stimulating environment where children feel safe and develop a strong sense of belonging.

The latest Ofsted inspection, on 2 June 2023, rated Wright Start Day Nurseries as "Good" overall, highlighting the high standard of teaching and the commitment of staff to ensuring all children make good progress. The curriculum is enriched with real-life experiences, including weekly French lessons, sport, and music sessions, and visits from professionals like dentists.

The indoor environments are thoughtfully resourced to cover all seven areas of learning, with separate areas tailored for babies and older children. The nursery excels in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) through robust and effective assessments.

While children and babies benefit from separate garden areas, with older children enjoying a tall slide, the nursery is working on enhancing the outdoor environment to provide more consistent learning opportunities, such as mark-making and reading for children who prefer learning outside. Parents consistently report excellent daily face-to-face communication and regular updates on their children's learning and progress, contributing to a strong partnership between home and nursery.

The management team are highly reflective and dedicated to delivering an inclusive and safe setting, ensuring staff well-being and continuous professional development.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Robust and effective assessments identify children who may need extra support. All children, including those with special educational and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in all areas of learning.

Outdoor space

Children and babies benefit from separate garden areas. Older children relish the challenge of climbing a tall slide. However, the outdoor environment does not consistently provide the same learning opportunities to support children who prefer learning outside, such as mark-making and reading opportunities.
