Welcome to Rydal Day Nursery
A nurturing and vibrant nursery in Clevedon, an environment where children are enthusiastic to play and learn. Children are welcomed into the nursery, where they feel safe and secure. Children settle quickly and are extremely content at the setting making secure attachments with staff, especially their key person. Children also form strong friendships with other children. Staff are positive role models and support children's understanding of boundaries and positive behaviour. Children are taught to share, take turns and be respectful towards each other. - Ofsted
where you will always find a warm welcome
Mel Morton - Rydal Manager
At Rydal we are passionate about providing a safe, secure and happy environment for all our children. This enables them to build the confidence and self-esteem to play, explore, take risks and reach their full potential. The Early Years Foundation stage is offered to our children through In the moment planning, meaning the children take lead of their learning and interests and our highly qualified team are on hand to extend this learning when required.
We are a fun and friendly nursery that welcomes all families irrespective of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities or gender and have strong links with our local community. We buy local produce, visit local facilities, invite in local professionals and support the community wherever possible. We work closely with our parents and pride ourselves with positive relationships from the start to support your child’s every need.
We all look forward to welcoming you and your child into Rydal nursery!

From signing up with us we work closely with parents to gain as much information about their child as possible to support their learning. On your home visit, your child’s key worker with play and interact with your child to build some trust before coming to nursery and one of the management team will ask you all their likes, dislikes, allergies or medical needs and hints and tips to support with settling. This is also a great opportunity for any confidential discussions in the privacy of your own home if you need too.
