Aughton Early Years Centre Daycare

About this day nursery

Aughton Early Years Centre, originally a village school dating back to 1910, reopened as a nursery in 1973 and has since evolved into a highly respected provision within its community. In 2001, the centre expanded to include a day-care service, and from 2003 until 2025, it operated as a Children’s Centre before transitioning into wider Early Help Locality services.

The centre offers additional services, including an extended day, and is renowned for its high-quality provision, attracting visitors from local, regional, and national levels. With a warm and welcoming family-friendly ethos, Aughton Early Years Centre maintains high expectations for all children, acknowledging their individual developmental paces.

Both governors and staff are dedicated to ensuring child safety and upholding high standards, actively fostering collaborative partnerships with parents, carers, and the community to positively influence children’s well-being, development, and learning. The centre encourages browsing its website for more information and welcomes direct contact for further inquiries.

They also provide Forest School training.
