2019/20 TreeTops ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted Report

TreeTops Nursery

TreeTops Nursery is Thornaby Pavilion’s childcare provision which offers a warm, welcoming and safe environment for your children – and good news, we have spaces available! In December 2019 we achieved an ‘Outstanding’ across all areas Ofsted Report for the second time in a row. Read the full report here.

Tree Tops is a registered childcare setting, offering outstanding care for children aged 2 – 4 years. The nursery is based at Wrightson House within Thornaby Pavilion’s Leisure Centre which is conveniently located in Thornaby’s Town Centre.

We have an exciting programme of activities to stimulate and develop children to their full potential as well as two well-equipped playrooms which offer children a friendly and educational environment. We also use the adjoining sports hall, soft play areas and visit the local children’s centre outdoor area so children can take part in regular physical activity.

Operation Encompass

Tree Tops supports and implements Operation Encompass. Operation Encompass is an initiative that will provide early intervention support for children affected by domestic abuse. Its success will be dependent upon close partnership working between the police and schools, academies, colleges and nurseries, and the sharing of accurate domestic abuse information where children have been present, witnessed or been involved in such abuse. For more information please see the website.
