About this early years setting
Yew Tree Pre-School is a day nursery in Oldham for children aged from two to four years. 20pm.
The setting was inspected by Ofsted in September 2025 and received a 'Good' rating. The inspector found that children arrive to a well-organised environment and are supported by staff who act as positive role models.
The curriculum is designed to prepare children for school. Planned and spontaneous activities help children to develop their large and small muscles, with outdoor play providing opportunities to run and climb.
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported through individualised strategies and close partnerships with parents and other professionals. To improve its practice, the pre-school was asked to ensure staff interactions consistently promote communication and language skills, and to more consistently manage behavioural expectations.
