About this day nursery

Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Alfreton is a welcoming and friendly nursery located in Derbyshire, catering to children from three months up to five years old. The nursery is thoughtfully designed with dedicated areas for different age groups, including a cosy baby room, a lively toddler room, and a pre-school with free-flow access to an expansive garden.

The curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, with practitioners monitoring each child's development and planning enriching experiences. The toddler room incorporates a curiosity approach, minimising plastic toys in favour of natural resources to stimulate imagination.

They can accommodate various dietary requirements and support babies through the weaning process. All staff members are trained in paediatric first aid, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all children.
