For parents searching for a family-run nursery Shrewsbury, a small nursery near me, or a day nursery in Baschurch, we have been that nursery for over 30 years. With 35 places and a team of nine qualified practitioners holding Level 3 to Level 7 early years qualifications (including staff qualified to degree and postgraduate level), we have created a nurturing home-from-home in our purpose-built nursery where every child is encouraged to be themselves. Our management team has a strong vision for the nursery and continually reflects on our provision to identify areas for development. Partnerships with parents are at the heart of what we do. Parents tell us that our staff are "friendly and supportive" and that their children are "happy and settled". We share your child's experiences through our online learning journey, so you never miss a moment. ## Our Facilities Bojangles is a **purpose-built nursery** set in a peaceful rural location on the Walford Campus, with spacious rooms and easy access to our outdoor play areas. Our setting includes: - Three age-appropriate rooms (Baby, Toddler and Pre-School) - A dedicated **sensory room** with disco ball, mirrors, soft toys and sensory equipment — a separate, calming space used to support sensory exploration and inclusive play for all children, including those with additional needs - A soft play area for our youngest children - Extensive outdoor grounds and gardens in the Shropshire countryside - A rural, nature-rich setting with grass hills, mud kitchen and open-air play spaces ## Our Approach We believe in learning through play, exploring nature, and nurturing each child as an individual. - **Learning Through Play** — play is at the heart of everything we do. Staff promote a love of storytelling, using props to spark imagination and recall. Children become absorbed in mathematical concepts through sand and water play, learning about empty, full, bigger and smaller. Children's engagement in activities is good because our staff know every child very well. - **Nature & Outdoors** — children have regular opportunities to exercise and be active outdoors. They access movable climbing and construction materials in the garden, delight in running up and over the grass hills, and explore nature every day. Toddlers push themselves along on ride-on toys, and babies develop their balance using walkers and soft-play equipment. - **Individual Care** — every child is unique. Our key person approach ensures each child receives personal attention and support. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported particularly well — all our staff have completed sign language training to aid communication with children who need extra assistance. ## A Typical Day at Bojangles - 8:00am — Doors open - 8:30am — Breakfast - 9:00am — Circle time - 9:15am — Outdoor activities and play - 11:30am — Lunch - 12:00pm — Rest and quiet activities - 2:00pm — Snack time - 2:15pm — Activities and play - 4:00pm — High tea - 6:00pm — Home time ## Rated Good Across All Areas We are proud to be independently rated **Good** across all areas by Ofsted, with effective safeguarding arrangements in place.
