Our Nursery

Scott’s Wood Day Nursery is located on the corner of Selby Road and Devonshire Road in West Bridgford, a short distance from Central Avenue. We have two other nurseries in West Bridgford, sharing the same philosophy, top quality, and ethos, so if Scott’s Wood isn’t quite ideal for you location-wise, it is almost guaranteed that either our Radcliffe Road Day Nursery or Leo’s West Bridgford Nursery will be.

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”.

Scott’s Wood caters for children aged from 3 months to 4 years old.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
