First Friends Day Nursery

About our nursery

Welcome to our award-winning 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, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition for our children when it's time for them to start school. We offer childcare for children aged 6 months to 5 years.

We are open 51 weeks a year, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. We only close for one week between Christmas and New Year.

At our day nursery, we believe in fostering structure and free play to facilitate the learning and development of our children. Through planned guided activities and independent exploration, we encourage each child to become confident in preparing for school life.

Our approach ensures that each child feels valued and supported, allowing them to thrive and grow at their own pace.

We are opening a brand-new baby day nursery in April 2025, specially designed for children aged 6 months - 2 years.

Extensive Outside Space

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.
