About this day nursery

ABC Nursery, situated on Exeter Road in Exmouth, was established in 1994 and became part of the Devon Nurseries group in 2008. The facility caters to children aged 3 months to 5 years, operating Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6 pm.

It features three main rooms for children, a dedicated dining area, and two gardens. The nursery’s management team, led by Lisa Haar and supported by Deputy Manager Beth Cameron, is committed to providing high-quality early education and care.

This commitment extends to making the most of the nursery's proximity to the beach, allowing children to engage with their local coastal environment. The nursery prides itself on its experienced staff across all three rooms, ensuring that staffing levels meet or exceed Ofsted requirements.

Additionally, a nursery cook prepares balanced and nutritious meals daily using fresh produce. The team is continuously supported in their professional development to maintain the standard of care and education provided.

Parents interested in enrolling their children are encouraged to contact the nursery for a visit and to learn more about their offerings.

What it's like

Staff naturally create a warm, friendly and home-from-home environment for children and their families. Children build strong relationships with their key person and go to them for reassurance and help. Babies and toddlers explore the room independently. Older children confidently leave their parents, rush in and say 'hello' to staff when they arrive. This shows that children are happy, relaxed and feel safe and secure.
