Welcome to Nightingale Nurseries where our dedicated Leadership Team has thoughtfully crafted nurturing spaces for your child's growth. Our nurseries provide spacious, comfortable, and enriching environments that inspire curiosity and creativity. We focus on creating safe stimulating learning opportunities, ensuring your child is well-prepared for their transition to school and beyond. 

​

Children embark on their learning journey through four distinct rooms: Baby Room, Tots, Toddlers, and Pre-School. Each space is designed to be warm, light, safe, and inviting, encouraging exploration and creativity. We proudly display the children's work celebrate their successes, while our interactive displays extend their interests and inspire learning. With a diverse bank of rich resources, we tailor individual learning experiences to follow each child's unique interests and needs.​​

Nightingale Nurseries offer childcare of the highest standard because we believe:

 

1. In order to thrive, young children need a safe and stable environment offering new challenges and opportunities for learning.  The professional adults to whom the child attaches are of central importance to their development and our key person system promotoes positive attachments.

2. The whole child and every aspect of their development is important. Social, emotional, physical, intellectual and moral development are all interconnected and must be nurtured alongside each other.

3. Early childhood is the foundation on which children build the rest of their lives. Their experiences during their early years are the most informative and influential years of a child’s life. Their experiences now will shape their future.

4. Children learn through hands- on, practical experience. A child’s most valuable learning experiences are those which interest, inspire and challenge them. They need imaginative and creative experiences to broaden their learning and understanding. Through providing purposeful play opportunities, we can teach children about themselves and the world around them.
