About this day nursery

Yellow Ribbon Pre School in Ripon, established in 2009, offers childcare on non-domestic premises for children aged 1-4 years. Open Monday to Friday all year round, sessions run from 7:45 am to 5 pm, with flexible hours during school holidays.

The setting provides a well-resourced environment where children can safely explore both indoors and outdoors, developing independence by, for example, putting on their own shoes and wellingtons for outside play. Children here form very good relationships with staff, openly seeking support and engaging confidently in activities.

Staff provide a wide range of experiences that enable children to lead their own learning, fostering positive behaviour and high expectations. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those receiving additional funding, make good progress, with thorough reviews and action plans in place to support their learning journeys.

The pre-school consistently focuses on supporting children's communication and language skills, employing diverse strategies to aid emerging speaking abilities. Parents speak highly of Yellow Ribbon Pre School, commenting on the incredible care and excellent start in life their children receive.
