Welcome

Goddard Park Daycare Centre was registered in 2019. We are a part of Goddard Park Community Primary School Academy Trust, in Park North, Swindon, SN3 2QN.

We are open from Monday to Friday. Our opening times are from 8.00am to 6.00pm, all year round, except for two weeks at Christmas, Teacher Development Days and bank holidays.

At present the Trust employs 35 members of staff to work with the children. These include the Manager/SENCO Lead, Deputy Daycare Manager, Assistant Daycare Manager, Deputy Daycare SENCO. In addition, six staff members hold Early Years degrees, fourteen staff members hold relevant Level 3 qualifications, three staff members hold Level 2 qualifications. The remaining staff members are undertaking ongoing training and professional development to further enhance their skills and qualifications.

Our setting welcomes babies and children from three months onwards.

The Daycare receives funding to provide Early Years Education and Childcare for babies and children from aged nine months to four years.

At Goddard Park Daycare Centre, we provide a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment where children aged three months to four years feel safe, happy, confident and valued. We believe every child is unique, with their own personality, interests, strengths and abilities.

Our dedicated, experiences and diverse team brings together a wealth of knowledge, cultures, languages and experiences. We build meaningful relationship with children and families, offering individualised care and inspiring learning opportunities that nurture curiosity, independence and a lifelong love of learning.

Our five thoughtfully organised rooms offer age-appropriate experiences, dedicated secure outdoor play areas, woodland learning and access to open fields. Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate diversity and work with families and professionals to ensure every child can participate, achieve and thrive.

We value strong partnerships with parents and carers through regular Stay and Play sessions, parent consultations three times a year and ongoing communication. As part of Goddard Park Community Primary School, we also work with Swindon Borough Council, specialist services and community organisations to support families through speech and language clinics, family learning, confidential, family support and community initiatives such as Food Share.

Proud to be Outstanding

Goddard Park Daycare Centre was graded Outstanding in all areas at its Ofsted inspection on the 17 August 2022. The published report describes our setting as a place where 'Children feel safe and secure in this deeply caring Daycare' and recognises that 'Children make exceptional progress.'

At Goddard Park Daycare we do not just care for children- we nurture their potential, celebrate their achievements and help them build the foundations for a bright future.
