About this day nursery
Beechcroft Day Nursery is a childcare facility dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and stimulating environment where children can confidently explore, learn, and develop. The nursery prioritises each child's individual needs, offering quality activities and experiences aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.
They foster positive behaviour through encouragement and attentiveness. Beechcroft aims to build strong relationships with parents, encouraging their involvement in their children's learning journey and ensuring they feel secure in their child's safety and well-being.
The nursery is thoughtfully structured into three distinct rooms to cater to different age groups: a Baby Room for infants aged 3 months to 2 years, a Toddlers Room for children aged 2 to 3 years, and a Pre-school Room for those aged 3 to 5 years. A stimulating outdoor area further enhances learning opportunities.
The nursery is committed to employing highly qualified and trained staff, with all personnel possessing paediatric first aid certification and designated officers for safeguarding, special educational needs, and fire safety. Children are gently guided to learn at their own pace through experiences and choices, while also being encouraged to embrace new challenges.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Beechcroft and the team of ridiculously caring staff for bringing so much joy, confidence and warmth to my 2yo. We had a very tumultuous start with 2 unsuccessful nurseries, one which was problematic and another that my daughter just didn't get along with. Since going to Beechcroft, my daughter runs to nursery enthusiastically, gives massive hugs to the brilliant carers, and comes back with arts, crafts, bakes, a tonne of new language and understanding, and a lot a lot of joy. You can see how much the staff take time and care with the children, with the little ones having lovely nicknames and singing their praises at home. We very quickly upped her number of days once we saw how she thrives here. It's a space for her to grow with love and support. I feel very lucky to have found it.

My daughter(Ocienne) has been at this nursery for the past 4 years, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place for her early years. The care, patience, and dedication from the whole team have been incredible. Her social skills, confidence, and learning in the early stages of life are all thanks to the nurturing environment and the wonderful teachers here. A massive thank you to Basia, Maggie, Barbara, Umesha, Malaika, Monica, Nivie, and Alisia — you have all played such an important role in her journey, and we’re truly grateful. This nursery has been amazing for our family, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

My daughter has been in this nursery since she is 1. She comes back happy every evening. There is really good communication with the parents. The kids do lot of different activities and spend Tim outdoor. I am really pleased with her development. Thank you to the wonderful team they have.
