Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
Parents are particularly delighted with the weekly Spanish session, which helps their children to learn about other languages.
They also appreciate the various events that staff organise, such as stay-and-play sessions and sports day.
Inclusion & environment
Following training, some staff have learned how to use Makaton signs to promote children's language skills. This has had a positive impact, particularly on younger children.
The manager is currently working on extending the outdoor curriculum to further enrich children's learning experiences. The inspector accompanied staff and children on their walk to the local park.
Our son just loves Yume. He started at 9 months old and the care and attention that the staff give to the children is excellent. The management staff are very friendly and personable and always greet the children with a big smile on their faces. The photos we receive daily show all the varied and fun activities they get up to during the day, as well as pictures of their daily trip to the park. His speech and behaviour has come on leaps and bounds in the last 6 months, which is down to Yume. I would recommend Yume to all families with young children.
Read on GoogleOur son started at Yüme just after he turned one and has been there for nearly two years. He absolutely loves going there! Every morning he arrives happy and excited, and we leave knowing he is safe and cared for. The staff are warm, and nurturing, and it truly feels like a family community. We couldn’t have asked for a better start for him, and we will miss the nursery deeply when he leaves. Highly recommended 💛
Read on GoogleWe can’t speak highly enough of Yüme Nursery and the entire team. Our first son joined in 2023 at a very young age, and within the first few weeks it was clear that we had made the right choice. The caring and attentive team consistently goes above and beyond to support the children, all driven by one shared purpose: providing high-quality education in a safe, friendly environment within a wonderful community. Our son has now been there for three years, and each time he transitioned to a new class, we felt fully supported and consulted. Every change was handled smoothly and thoughtfully. Our second son is about to join, and we couldn’t be more excited for him to learn and grow following in his brother’s footsteps. The activities are well designed and age-appropriate, the children go outside daily for fresh air, and you can genuinely see how happy they are there. The educators are always open to discussion and collaboration, working closely with parents to adapt and support each child’s development. For us, Yüme feels like a second home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you to the entire Yüme team and management — we feel so fortunate to be part of such a caring and dedicated community.
Read on GoogleWe’ve had such a brilliant experience at Yüme. Our daughter started at 3 months old and received such excellent care and attention. The staff are all wonderful and in the early months it made such a difference dropping her off with a team of people who are all so warm and friendly and who I felt looked after her as if she was their own. The team at Yüme are always so warm and caring and our daughter has blossomed in the time she has been there. They have helped with all the big milestones, like walking and introducing food and have been a huge support to us as new parents finding our way. I would thoroughly recommend them as a safe place for your child to grow and learn.
