Radcliffe-On-Trent Day Nursery and Preschool

About our Nursery

Curriculum

At Radcliffe‑On‑Trent, our Early Years curriculum is shaped by curiosity and play, supporting children’s development at their own pace. Forest School sessions at Ruddington Day Nursery encourage outdoor exploration, confidence, and key skills, while our preschool provision helps children build independence and feel ready for their move to school.

Team

Our passionate team has extensive experience, including working with children with special educational needs. We are committed to providing inclusive childcare and ensuring every child’s needs are understood and supported. Staff work together to create a warm and welcoming environment. Children are supported by familiar team members who help them settle, build confidence, and feel secure throughout their day. Strong leadership and management ensure high standards across the nursery, with a clear focus on safeguarding, wellbeing, and high‑quality care.

Playrooms

Our bright, well‑resourced playrooms provide a stimulating environment where children can explore, play, and develop essential skills. Children are supported to transition between rooms based on their readiness, rather than age alone, ensuring their individual needs are always prioritised.

Outdoor Play

Children benefit from access to a dedicated outdoor space filled with resources that encourage exploration, physical play, and curiosity. Outdoor sessions support children’s confidence, coordination, and connection with the world around them.

Food and Wellbeing

We provide healthy, balanced meals prepared on site, supporting children’s growth and wellbeing. Dietary needs are catered for, and mealtimes are treated as positive, social experiences within the nursery day.
