About Us

DSCN0395 A Day at Ladybird Nursery Follybrook House.jpeg

Philosophy

We are passionate about ensuring that every child receives the best start in life. We build on their unique strengths and interests with age-appropriate education opportunities to let each child develop at their own pace to reach their full potential. A variety of activities and specially-designed spaces give your children the space to play, learn and flourish.

Your partners in childhood education

Our role is to support parents and carers as your child’s first and most important educators. We achieve this by involving you in nursery life and your child’s education as much as possible. We always aim to be homely, caring and welcoming nurseries that above all, value strong partnerships with parents and carers.

Our Folly Brook House location was rated “good” in all areas during our last inspection in 2022.

Comments included:

"Children are happy and confident in the nursery and benefit from positive relationships with staff"

"All children make good progress in their learning and development.  Staff spend time getting to know children and teach them the knowledge they need to learn next."

"Children receive a consistent approach between home and nursery, as staff gather information about children’s experiences at home and use this to extend their learning in nursery."

"Children demonstrate growing levels of independence because staff create opportunities that encourage them to do things for themselves."

"The strong key-person system means staff understand the uniqueness of the children they care for."

Our Springfield House location was rated “outstanding” in personal development, behaviour and welfare, and “good” in all other areas during our last inspection.
