Why Purple Panda Nursery

 Purple Panda is now 10 years old and we have a team with a wealth of experience in childcare and education, who are genuinely dedicated to the children that they care for. We provide exceptional care and education for all of our children and, as our parents say time and again, they could not have chosen a better place to send their children.

As our latest Ofsted report says: “Children at this nursery are happy and settled. They enjoy the activities on offer and participate fully in a range of experiences. The long-standing staff team knows children well and develops strong bonds with them … The well-maintained nursery garden provides outdoor learning opportunities for all children in all weathers … Children have fun at nursery. They develop the confidence and skills they need for their eventual move to school”.

We are a genuinely friendly nursery and we encourage strong professional partnerships and effective communication with our parents. We welcome their active involvement in nursery life.
