Nurseries

Halifax Opportunities Trust operates three nurseries across Calderdale, three of which are located alongside our children’s centres in west Halifax (Jubilee), Siddal and Todmorden.

Our nurseries offer day care for children aged 0-5 years and places are available for children who are eligible for 30 hours government funded childcare. We are absolutely committed to creating superb nursery settings for children and as a result, all three of our nurseries have been rated as ‘Good in all areas’ by OFSTED. Links to the relevant Ofsted report can be found in the information about each nursery below.

Our qualified, dedicated caring and experienced practitioners work in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage and follow the following principles:

  • We enable children to have rich and stimulating experiences and the learning environment is arranged to make this possible.
  • All staff build on what children already know and can do. We encourage child led experiences and focus on the child as an individual.
  • Our highly qualified Early Years Practitioners observe and respond appropriately to every child.
  • Positive relationships with parents and carers are paramount and we ensure all parents, carers and children feel included, secure and valued.
