Welcome to our award winning and very popular day nursery, where we are dedicated to offering exceptional childcare. Due to demand, we don't have any spaces available in toddlers & pre-school until September 26'. We are accepting 'Expression of Interest' for our new baby unit opening in January 25'.
Welcome to our delightful and very popular day nursery, conveniently nestled within the picturesque grounds of Wootey Infant School. We have close links with the infant and junior school which ensures a smooth and stress-free transition for our children when it's time for them to start school.
At our day nursery, we believe in fostering both structure and free play to facilitate the learning and development of our children. Through a carefully crafted balance of guided activities and independent exploration, we encourage each child to become a confident individual in preparation for school life.
Our personal approach ensures that each child feels valued and supported, allowing them to thrive and grow at their own pace.
We will respond the very same day.
Got a question? Want to check our availability? Book a tour, get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
First Friends is delighted to be opening The Nest, a new baby day nursery situated right next door to our established nursery on the grounds of Wootey Infant and Junior School.
Specifically designed to nurture the growth and development of infants aged from 6 months to 18 months. Initially, your child will need to be aged 6 months - 12 months when they start with us, due to being full in our toddler room until January 2026.
We are not able to accept registrations for The Nest just yet, but we are able to accept 'Expression of Interest'. Once you have completed the 'Expression of Interest' we will then keep you updated and send a reminder when registration opens.
Your child will need to be aged 6 months - 12 months when they start nursery, due to being full in our toddler room until September 2026.
