About Our Nursery

  • Welcome to our delightful day nursery, conveniently nestled within the picturesque grounds of Wootey Infant School.


  • At our nursery, we offer exceptional childcare services all year round, spanning 51 week.  We cater to children aged 12 months to 5 years, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for their development. Additionally, we understand the demands of busy schedules, which is why we provide early starts from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm upon request. Our core hours are 8:00am-6:00pm.


  • One of the highlights of our nursery is our enchanting outdoor facilities, featuring two secure play areas. We encourage seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, enabling our little ones to freely explore and engage in play. As a fortunate member of the Wootey family, we have the privilege of accessing the school grounds, allowing our children to observe and be inspired by the "bigger" children at play.


  • To facilitate optimal learning through play, we have curated high-quality resources. Our early years educators use these resources to design purposeful and engaging activities for our children. With their expertise and experience, our qualified team diligently support the children in their play, fostering their learning and overall development.


  • Join us at our exceptional day nursery and provide your child with an enriching experience they'll cherish for years to come.

  • We have thoughtfully designed two expansive rooms to cater to the distinct needs of our little ones. The first room, known as the "Explorers," is dedicated to our toddlers, while the second room, called the "Inventors," is specially designed for our pre-schoolers. Both rooms provide ample space for imaginative play, learning, and exploration.


  • For those children who still require daytime naps, we have comfortable cot beds available, ensuring they can rest and recharge.


  • Our food is lovingly prepared by the talented culinary team at Wootey Infant School. Every meal is home-cooked, prioritising freshness and nutritional balance. We believe that snack and meal times are not just about satisfying hunger but also present invaluable opportunities for learning, socialising, and developing essential skills.


  • We are thrilled to host Inspired Forest School sessions. This innovative approach to learning harnesses the power of the outdoor environment. During these sessions, children engage in hands-on activities, fostering a deep connection with nature while developing various skills and knowledge. 


  • We welcome children funded by Government Grants.

Meet the Manager

Jane Noble, Nursery Manager

My name is Jane and I am the manager of First Friends Day Nursery at Wootey, Alton.


I have previously worked as Deputy Manager for a nationwide nursery chain and completed my Level 3 qualification a few years’ ago. I am extremely passionate about SENCo and ensuring every child is provided with equal opportunities. What I love most about my role is seeing the children learn and thrive throughout their journey with us.


Our nursery offers toddler and pre-school care all year round. We have fantastic outdoor space where our children get lots of time to play and learn in the fresh air. Come along and see for yourself and meet the team.


Fun. Learning. First Experiences.
