Rose Park Day Nursery

Learning to handle feelings sits alongside learning to handle everyday tasks at Rose Park Day Nursery. PAL s supports social confidence and manners, while Teeth Cleaning brings daily toothbrushing into nursery life. This Feltham setting has 40 places in total for children aged two to five, giving families a nursery centred on toddler and preschool years.

At its May 2024 inspection, Ofsted rated Rose Park Good and found safeguarding effective. The practical examples give that judgement substance: children prepared fruit, controlled water as they poured and took responsibility for tasks around lunch. Independence was a clear thread through the day.

The address is 95 High Street, Feltham, TW13 4HG. All-day, morning and afternoon attendance patterns sit alongside stretched funded childcare, so families can consider different ways of fitting nursery into their week.

Learning and Activities

The EYFS provides the framework for children's learning, development and care, with play and everyday experiences helping children build skills. Rose Park adds programmes that address emotions, social interaction, sensory exploration and children's relationship with nature. Their practical value lies in the different ways children can take part, rather than in a single branded teaching method.

PAL s helps children who are shy practise social interaction, recognise emotions and develop confidence, including everyday manners. Well-being gives children space to discuss feelings and explore ways of managing them. These are related but separate strands: one addresses interaction with other people; the other gives attention to what a child is feeling.

Forest school connects learning with the natural world through questioning, confidence-building and teamwork. Sensory sessions use activities involving the senses to create opportunities for calm exploration. Neither needs an elaborate description to explain its place in the day: children have opportunities to investigate, cooperate and slow down.

In May 2024, practical learning included cutting apples and pears for snacks and judging how much water to pour from a can. These tasks brought concentration and coordination into ordinary routines. Children could choose activities independently, play with friends or join smaller groups, with the routine adjusted to their needs.

Language work at that time included matching sounds to cards and singing in English and children's home languages. Books were accessible across the activity areas. That combination gave children several ways to practise listening and speaking, rather than relying only on adult-led conversation.

Outdoor and Community Life

In May 2024, the outdoor area included a climbing frame where children practised balance and increased their pace as they became more confident. Ice provided another form of investigation, with children exploring its properties and watching the effect of warmth. Physical challenge and sensory discovery both had a place outdoors.

The teaching caveat matters. In May 2024, staff did not consistently use children's questions and curiosity to develop their thinking further. The improvement point was about the adult response to exploration, rather than a shortage of activities: a child's question needs more than a quick answer if it is to lead to deeper investigation.

Relationships and Communication

In May 2024, children had dedicated time with their key person, and staff used their knowledge of individual personalities and needs to plan learning. Familiar adults were close enough for children to seek comfort. For families, that makes the relationship with a particular practitioner an important part of the nursery experience, alongside the activities themselves.

Communication at that time included daily updates and newsletters. Current family support also includes time to listen to parents, offer advice and direct them towards outside agencies. These are practical channels for sharing concerns and understanding how nursery and home can work together.

Inclusion and Wellbeing

At the May 2024 inspection, Ofsted found effective support for children with SEND, involving parents and external professionals, carefully sequenced learning and monitoring that helped staff provide support promptly. Rose Park also works with Hounslow Local Offer to support children with SEND and their families.

In May 2024, a quiet area gave children somewhere to read or settle their emotions, while staff helped them put feelings into words. Everyday self-care included serving lunch, pouring drinks and washing dishes afterwards. Those small responsibilities made independence something children practised, rather than simply something adults expected.

Teeth Cleaning supports children to brush once each nursery day and involves families in promoting dental hygiene. Current staff arrangements include regular training, with first-aid and food-hygiene certificates held by all staff. Safeguarding was judged effective in May 2024.

Sessions and Attendance

Rose Park opens from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, across the year. It closes for bank holidays and the five other days between Christmas and New Year. Families can book all-day attendance or morning or afternoon sessions, with lunch possible within the session arrangement.

Enquiries can be made by telephone on 0208 8932825 or by email at enquiries@roseparknursery.co.uk. Monthly invoices cover the coming month and separate attendance hours, funded hours and purchased meals. Payment continues during a child's illness or family holiday because the booked space is retained.

Getting There

The nursery is at 95 High Street, Feltham, TW13 4HG, close to Feltham Train station and several bus routes. Those transport links give families alternatives to driving for their regular nursery journey.

Funding and Paid Extras

Stretched funding is offered through the 30 hours funding scheme, alongside funded provision for eligible two-year-olds and children aged three to four. Funding is spread across 51 weeks, and additional private hours can be purchased. Eligibility remains a condition of funded provision; the funding arrangements do not change Rose Park's accepted age range of two to five.

Nursery lunches and snacks carry separate, optional charges, including for funded places; families may instead supply food that follows the nursery's healthy-eating and mealtime policies. Breakfast comes from home.

Parents supply nappies and wipes, while additional consumables and activities carry no separate charge. Families should obtain a current written quotation for their chosen attendance pattern. Occasional charity events accept donations, rather than forming part of the regular childcare charge structure.

• Questions that lead somewhere. The May 2024 improvement point concerned inconsistent responses to children's curiosity. During a visit, ask how practitioners now extend a child's question into further discussion or investigation.
• Choosing a session. All-day, morning and afternoon patterns are offered. Ask how the shorter sessions fit with the daily routine and your child's likely attendance needs.
• Food from home or nursery. Meals and snacks are optional purchases, and food supplied by families must follow nursery policies. Families managing allergies should discuss current mealtime practice before choosing their food arrangement.
• Paid attendance during absences. Charges continue during illness and holidays. Factor that rule into the cost of the attendance pattern you choose.

Rose Park suits families seeking either all-day care or morning and afternoon sessions for children aged two to five. Its clearest character comes from the combination of emotional learning, social confidence and everyday independence: PAL s, Well-being and daily toothbrushing make those priorities concrete.

The May 2024 Good judgement provides a positive inspection position, with a specific teaching issue to weigh alongside it. Stretched funding and optional food purchases give families useful choices, while continued payment during absences is a practical budgeting consideration.
