About this day nursery

Bolney Under Fives Group offers a nurturing pre-school programme for children aged 6 months to 5 years, focusing on personalised learning and development. The curriculum aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, fostering critical thinking, empathy, and self-reliance through hands-on activities and stimulating experiences.

Alongside the pre-school, they provide flexible childcare solutions with their "Wallabies Wrap Around Care" service, which includes breakfast and after-school clubs, and holiday care for children up to eleven years old. This service extends to children from 1 to 11 years during Easter, Summer, and Christmas holidays, featuring themed days and diverse extracurricular activities.

The pre-school is deeply integrated into village life, organising family outings and community events. As a registered charity, Bolney Under Fives Group relies on fundraising to support its services and keep fees accessible.
