About this day nursery

Zoe's Childcare Dallas Street, established in 2013, provides childcare on non-domestic premises in Mansfield for children aged 1 to 11 years. Open Monday to Friday, 50 weeks a year, with sessions running from 7:30 am to 6 pm, the nursery received a 'Good' rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 10th June 2024.

The setting excels in fostering curiosity, particularly through its enticing outdoor environment where children can explore and engage in imaginative play, such as navigating obstacle courses on ride-on vehicles or creating their own games with natural materials. Staff at Zoe's Childcare Dallas Street are proactive in identifying and supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) early on, collaborating with parents and professionals to develop tailored individual plans.

They implement effective strategies like small focus groups to help children gradually build skills and make good progress. The team promotes independence by encouraging children to participate in daily routines, such as pouring their own drinks and using cutlery correctly.

Furthermore, staff are positive role models, fostering kindness and good manners among the children, and swiftly intervene with visual cues to help children manage their emotions effectively.

Wonderful environment for my daughter. She has been in attendance here for 3 years and they have been thoroughly professional throughout whilst maintaining a warm and welcoming environment. Our family was experiencing some private issues and they were flexible and understanding. I cannot thank Zoe and the team enough for the fantastic care they provided. I am sure my daughter will miss her time there as she moves up to the next stage in her educational journey xx

My little boy started in February this year and needed setting in sessions, Zoe and her team made us both feel welcome. it didn’t take too long before he shuts the door behind him without a second look at me ??. My boy has beautiful relationships with all staff but he has one particular worker I think he loves and it’s shows when she’s there greeting him at the door. There is a variety of hot dinners provided some of which my boy will only eat there and not a home. All workers inform me of how his day has been and what he has been doing. The decision to send my child there was made so much easier once I met zoe and her team, they are so warm, trustworthy and understanding.

My son loves going to this nursery he always has a massive smile on his face as soon as i pull up in the carpark i open the door and he is excited to get out the car. All the staff have been very supportive in helping me when it has come to helping my son in getting him to communicate with or anyone else. Even if he choices to not speak he will now communicate it other ways. I will most definitely be keeping him at zoe's nursery for as long as I can.

I have two children and they have been with Zoe's for about 6 years now. The staff are friendly and show genuine care for my boys. The activities are varied and they always try to keep them entertained in the holidays. They are both at full time school now but I still use Zoe's before and after school and in the school holidays as I work full time five days a week. I never worry about my boys when they are in the care of the staff at Zoe's and would recommend them as a childcare provider.
