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.
