About this day nursery

15am to 6pm, all year round. The dedicated staff ensure a smooth transition for children by warmly greeting them and accommodating home routines, whilst also introducing new nursery experiences.

For instance, children taking their first steps receive supportive encouragement, and all children are exposed to new concepts like snakes and spiders to broaden their vocabulary. The provider and manager are deeply committed to delivering high-quality care and stimulating learning.

There is a strong focus on fostering communication skills; staff model good manners and use sign language for words like 'please' and 'thank you', particularly benefiting those children who may find communication challenging. Staff take the time to get to know each child and their family, even conducting home visits before a child starts, which helps build strong relationships and a sense of emotional security.

Furthermore, the day nursery promotes an understanding of healthy eating and nature, with a cook providing nutritious, freshly prepared meals, and opportunities for children to learn about growing fruit and vegetables in the garden. This understanding is extended through initiatives where children can take home seeds, soil, and pots to grow sunflowers.

We couldn't recommend YBR more! As a military family, we've moved around a lot and my children (6, 5 and 20 months) have attended various different nursery settings and childminders, YBR stands out a mile as the best. The staff are outstanding and like second parents to the children, the food is cooked on site and always of amazing quality. My 3 children absolutely love coming here and it's so comforting to know how happy they are. Sarah the manager is great, always having the childrens' wellbeing at the heart of everything she does and is so approachable. Michelle and Lee have worked so hard to provide the best nursery in the area and it really shows.

Fantastic nursery. Beautiful setting, the most caring staff who treat your little one like their own, owners who heavily invest in resources and the setting, as well as hosting free extras like parties and gifts for Easter/Christmas. The best by far. My little ones have attended since babies.

This was the fourth Nursery we had viewed and we knew immediately that this was perfect for our then 18 month old. It was clear that the professional way in which the Nursery was being run was entirely based around the child's experience. Everything from feeding, playing and interacting is thought out and inclusive. Our son adores the staff as they are extremely friendly and dedicated. Our needs are met and exceeded every day, no concerns are too trivial and the attention to care and documenting our Sons development is superlative. I would highly recommend this Nursery, as we have used a few before settling on this excellent one! Thanks for everything YBR!

My little one has attended this setting for 6 years, staff are amazing and genuinely care for each child, encouraging their development and expression. Children get free extras like parties, prize box, Christmas gifts.

Staff are great with the kids no issues. Shame about the owner (Michelle), all she cares about is her own pocket and her fancy cars. She is constantly lying to the parents and her own staff. It’s disgusting.
