About this day nursery

Brambley Lodge Day Nursery, situated in South Cave, East Yorkshire, is an independent, family-operated establishment providing childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. As a sister nursery to Brambley Cottage, it upholds a tradition of high-quality care, led by sisters Sarah and Emma, who have been involved in childcare since 1998.

The nursery prides itself on its independence, allowing for a tailored approach to care, learning, and facilities that prioritise the children's and families' needs without rigid corporate constraints. The setting is idyllic, nestled amidst trees and green fields within the South Cave CE Primary School grounds, offering a safe and peaceful environment that also familiarises children with a school atmosphere.

The single-story building accommodates 62 children and provides convenient car parking. The team comprises qualified and enthusiastic practitioners, guided by experienced management, dedicated to fostering a warm, stimulating, and nurturing space.

They celebrate each child's individuality, supporting their development at their own pace through dynamic and child-led planning, sparking imagination and creativity.
