Welcome to Angel Day Nursery
About Ourselves
LARGE PLAYROOMS provide a bright, happy and airy atmosphere within, whilst outside FULLY ENCLOSED GARDENS with "Safe-Barked" play area, "Mud Kitchens", growing areas and grassed surfaces provide a rich learning ennvironment and a healthy balance for outdoor fun. Located close to Sandford Park, Cox's Meadow and the local Fire Station, we also benefit from being able to take the children on walks to explore the local environment, feed the ducks, see the fire engines and enjoy so much more outdoors (with parents permission).
The Team At Angels
As the Nursery Owner, I am qualified with Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) and Early Years SENCO Level 3. I am a Designated Safeguard Lead with a current Paediatric First Aid Certificate. My Leadership Team are FULLY QUALIFIED and have a wealth of Childcare Experience. They are also Designated Safeguard Leads with current Paediatric First Aid Certificates, and we are passionate about Early Years.
Together we ensure that the Angel’s Team are trained and supported in their roles to reach their potential as Early Years Practitioners. The team are made up of Level 6, 3, & 2 Qualified Practitioners and Apprentices studying at Level 2 & 3 and they are our best resource and highly valued.
The Team provide all children with encouragement, care and attention through lots of imaginative and creative play, which is so very important for a child’s individual character development and confidence building. A sense of achievement is cultivated so that children gain high levels of self-esteem as they progress through different stages of learning and development within the nursery and Pre-School.
Our 'CHIRPY' Values
Confident – Happy – Independent – Resilient – Proud - Youngsters
Taken from The Education People’s “CHIRP Toolkit”
Angel Day Nursery aims to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children are nurtured and encouraged to develop their full potential. We are committed to achieving the best outcomes for all children attending our setting. Our values form the foundation of our care and are the Golden Thread that runs throughout our nursery for all children and staff:
“The early years are not simply about how we raise our children. They are about the society we will become.”
Princess of Wales: Shaping Us Campaign
Never miss a moment
COMMUNICATION with parents is at the heart of our ethos and we like nothing more than to speak to our parents on drop off and collection. We also use a nursery software system, FAMLY, which through a dedicated APP we can send messages, and share photographs, news and updates straight to your phone/tablet throughout the day. We also share your child’s Learning Journey and development progress via this APP, issue invoices and lots more, so all your nursery admin is in one place!
NOTICE BOARDS at the entrance doors are updated regularly with useful information for parents and you can follow us on FACEBOOK and/or INSTAGRAM for news, information and an insight into nursery life.

Our POLICIES AND PROCEDURES manual is available and accessible at nursery; this working document details our policies on Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Admissions, Equal Opportunities etc. We are OFSTED Registered and our Certificate of Registration is displayed in the Entrance Hall and a copy can be viewed here with our most recent OFSTED REPORT here.
We work within the EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE (EYFS) focusing on THE CHILD, celebrating the skills and competence of babies and young children. We provide a well-planned and resourced curriculum in line with our CHIRPY Values, to develop learning and to provide opportunities for all children to succeed, in an environment where they are valued and cared for.
