About this day nursery

Chuckles Childcare Warton views early years education as a foundational period, believing that a lifetime of learning begins in these formative years. The nursery focuses on sensory-rich experiences, including plenty of 'messy play' to foster children's natural curiosity, creativity, and understanding of the world.

Daily activities such as rhymes and storytelling are integral to their approach, aiming to significantly support early communication development. Chuckles Childcare also prioritises the physical well-being of the children, providing a healthy and balanced diet with nutritious meals and snacks prepared by a qualified chef, adhering to nutritional guidelines and accommodating special dietary needs and allergies.

The nursery actively engages with parents, incorporating their suggestions into menu planning and offering a communication system called Baby’s Days to keep them updated on their child's progress and daily activities.

The nursery appears committed to providing a secure, playful, and loving atmosphere where children can thrive.

Chuckles childcare is an outstanding nursery. My little boy absolutely loves his time with Caroline and all the staff - since he has started he has come on so much especially with his speech and communication. The premises is lovely and feels very homely- the staff are all very nice and welcoming. I feel so at ease leaving my little boy there whilst I’m working- updates are regularly sent through out the day! Just an amazing set up! X

Extremely happy with Caroline and her team at chuckles. My lil boy absolutely loves going to the nursery and has settled in so quickly, thanks to all the hardworking and dedicated staff. On his first day they made sure that his favourite farm animals were all laid out for him which made him feel at ease straightaway. The establishment is very spacious with loads of outdoor space in different themes, for the lil ones to play around. Updates through the baby’s days app are also very handy and detailed.

My 2yr old has been at Chuckles for nearly 3mths, after transferring from a different nursery. Although we were anxious about moving him, we are so pleased we did. The difference in his confidence and happiness is amazing. He loves going to "Carolines House", and tells us all about the trips out and adventures he has every day. If you're looking for a nursery that cherish and encourage the children, whilst maintaining a happy and open environment, this one's definitely for you!
