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

All our staff are qualified. Most are level 3 qualified or above, several staff hold a Teachers status, BA Hons or foundation degree in Early Years. We encourage staff to attend university whilst working with us if they wish to do so and offer apprenticeship schemes for students working towards their Level 3.
All staff are first aid, safeguarding and prevent duty trained and are provided with an in depth induction to ensure they are aware of all policies and procedures. Staff are encouraged to attend advanced training on specialist subjects such as Makaton, behaviour and conflict resolution, maths in early years and minimising biting in young children. Our safeguarding team also attend regular designated person and safeguarding updates with North Somerset to ensure we are supporting our families to the best of our abilities.
Parent Partnership
We understand parents know their children better than anyone and working closely together we can provide the best possible opportunities for your child. From signing up with us, we work closely with parents to gain as much information about your child as possible to support their learning. Before coming to nursery you will be asked about all their likes, dislikes, allergies or medical needs and hints and tips to support with settling.
We offer a variety of parents evening throughout the year such as reviews, EYFS nights, meet and greet nights, preparing for school, social and charity events and any others that arise such as when we adopted a new planning system. We can offer a home visit or meeting if you would like to discuss anything confidential before your child starts.
