Welcome to Rydal Day Nursery
“Staff create a nurturing and vibrant environment
where children are enthusiastic to play and learn”
– Ofsted
“By the time a child leaves Rydal Day Nursery, they will be
passionate, determined, empathetic, respectful and curious.”
Provision
We cater to ages 12 weeks– 4 years
Tweenies
Our Tweenies room provides care from 12 weeks up to 2 years. In Tweenies, we focus on developing the important first skills every child needs, such as physical development (both fine and gross motor skills) communication, and social skills.
Jolly-Tots
Our Jolly-Tots room provides care from 2 years up to 3 years. In Jolly-Tots, the children are given freedom to explore and build their confidence, with emphasis on self-care and building friendships. Jolly-Tots helps the children to develop the basic skills they need ready for their transition to Pre-School, such as being able to put their shoes on, use cutlery independently and interact with others in a positive manner.
Pre-School
Our Pre-School room provides care from 3 years up to when a child leaves for school after their 4th birthday. Our Pre-School room promotes independence, self-confidence and inspirational thinking. The children are encouraged to develop their own thoughts, feelings and ideas and share these with others.
