Ideal balance of location, outdoor space and homely environment
Scott’s Wood Day Nursery occupies a detached property that balances accessibility of location with great outdoor space and a homely, family feel. Our rooms are decorated with a gentle, neutral colour scheme and we inject a natural feeling through our beechwood furniture and resources – all carefully selected from the natural world.
Outdoor space to enhance nursery life
Our outdoor environment has been very carefully designed. It has a lovely canopied area that means we never have to let inclement weather stop us getting our children into the fresh air and interacting with nature. Under this canopy we have pots and planters filled with little trees, shrubs and flowers as well as an open space for play and learning.
Once the children step beyond the canopied space there is a large open area for ride-on play and fun. We also have a big sandpit and a huge digging area. We’ve filled the area with as much nature as we can, by making sure a variety of different trees and shrubs are present throughout the environment.
Supportive and inspiring staff team
We are proud of our outstanding staff team and how they support and inspire each other and the children and families that they work with. They help to create environments, both inside and outdoors, that are calming yet stimulating to support children to become really involved in all the learning and developing that they do at nursery.
The practitioners provide activities that interest children – inspiring them to want to find things out, explore, and share the knowledge that they already have. Who wants to pretend to bake in the home corner with plastic resources that aren’t real when you could use real scales, real bowls and real flour to create cakes and cookies? We feel there are so many more learning opportunities when real items are provided and explored by children who are supported well by knowledgeable staff.
We share the experiences that the children have with families through ‘stay and play’ sessions and the ‘online learning journeys’ that we use, so parents feel really involved in what’s happening and experiences at nurseries can be shared at home too.
OFSTED have rated our day nursery in West Bridgford as “Outstanding”.
