About this day nursery

Cedar Park Day Nursery, located in Twyford, offers comprehensive care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. 5 acres of rural gardens, the nursery emphasises outdoor learning, with children enjoying daily access to these facilities for their social, emotional, and physical development, including planting vegetables that are later served by the dedicated Nursery Chef.

The nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, providing a fully inclusive service, covering formula milk, nappies, wipes, sun cream, freshly prepared meals and snacks, and a variety of activities. The curriculum incorporates specialised programmes such as Usports, Sing and Sign, and Boogie Mites.

As an Eco-Schools Green Flag Award holder, Cedar Park is committed to sustainability and environmental education, involving children in eco-friendly activities and maintaining an Eco Committee. Parents also benefit from the exclusive 'childbase@home' website and app, offering resources like bespoke books, online experiences, and workshops on topics such as SEND, behaviour management, first aid, and speech and language.

The nursery focuses on supporting each child's development through the EYFS framework and a 'Ready, Steady, Grow' approach, with activities tailored to foster independence, communication, and school readiness.

Our ethos

We teach children to care about the world they live in and are proud to have gained an Eco Schools Green Flag Award, whilst our children’s led Eco Committee helps ensure that this knowledge is imparted across a generation.

The staff are absolutely fantastic and our daughter really loves it at Cedar Park. Their ethos is a big draw for us, and it is a great comfort to know that sustainability is being taught to her, quite simply, as a way of life. The meals and snacks provided are fresh and varied so she eats a healthy and balanced diet. During the day she enjoys a wide range of activities, and we have seen substantial growth in her development since starting here. I like the way in which her play is observed so they can encourage her in areas she enjoys most, while also being given the opportunity to explore new areas for development. I particularly like that the wonderful outdoor space is used on a daily basis, and the children are encouraged to discover nature as a part of their play. The interaction and insight gained from the app was such a comfort when she first started at the nursery a few months ago - especially during a lockdown, we found it invaluable and continue to do so.
