First Friends Day Nursery

About our nursery

Welcome to our highly-rated nursery, conveniently situated on Grantham Road in Eastleigh.

Our lovely, modern nursery boasts a charming garden and separate spaces for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, providing a nurturing environment for your little ones.

At our nursery, we prioritise creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, described by parents as a true home--from-home experience.

We believe in fostering a strong sense of community and regularly take the children on delightful walks around the local area. Exploring the nearby library and parks is another way we encourage a connection with the wider community.

We have recently opened a beautiful new baby day nursery called The Nest, next door to our established day nursery. It's specially built and designed for babies 3 months old to crawling age.

Transparent Pricing & Funded Childcare Explained

We welcome new families under the ‘stretch’ government funded scheme, which means you can spread the funded hours over 51 weeks of the year, which equates to 11 hours per week (15 hours, term-time) or 22 hours per week (30 hours, term-time). We do offer term-time only in pre-school, but these places are limited.
