About Our Nursery
We are proud to be rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a reflection of our commitment to delivering exceptional care and education. Our approach focuses on each child’s individual growth, development, and self-esteem, ensuring every child feels supported, confident, and inspired to learn.
Our Approach to Learning
We provide bright, spacious playrooms filled with engaging resources to enhance every child’s learning experience. Children are supported to progress at their own pace, transitioning rooms based on their readiness rather than age. Our Forest School sessions offer enriching outdoor learning experiences, helping to develop confidence, problem-solving skills, vocabulary, and a love of nature.
Outdoor Space

Our nursery is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Radcliffe on Trent, just off the A52 between Nottingham and Bingham. Easily accessible from areas south of Nottingham, the village sits on the banks of the River Trent and offers a welcoming, community-focused setting for families.
