We pride ourselves in providing the children in our care access to exceptional learning and development opportunities, delivered by experienced and dedicated carers. Our indoor and outdoor facilities offer children a range of different environments to support their learning and build on their confidence, independence and imagination.

We believe that the Early Years is the most important stage of a child’s learning and development. At this stage, children should be presented with a wide range of learning opportunities that are fun, challenging and stimulating so that they continue to positively engage with their learning beyond their time at nursery.

There is a very special, family feel to Playschool Nursery. If you would like to become part of our family, we would love to show you around! Get in touch with us via our contact form and our friendly Administration team will be happy to assist with your enquiry.
