About this day nursery
Ashgrove Park Day Nursery, part of a two-nursery family business established in 1988, offers a warm, inspiring, and excellent standard of care for children aged from birth to five years. Located in the BS7 area of Bristol (Bishopston and Ashley Down), the nursery operates from 8:15 AM to 5:45 PM, Monday to Friday, closing only on bank holidays and over the Christmas and New Year period.
Rooted in strong family values, the nursery prioritises the happiness and well-being of every child, fostering a safe, secure, and stimulating home-from-home environment. They encourage individual development at each child's own pace through a diverse range of engaging activities and resources, both indoors and in their well-equipped outdoor learning spaces.
The dedicated and qualified staff team works to build close bonds with children, promoting confidence, a sense of belonging, and positive interactions.
