Crigglestone Day Care

About this day nursery

Crigglestone Day care operates as an independent, non-profit nursery dedicated to children from birth to five years old. The facility opens daily from 7:45 am to 6:00 pm, remaining open throughout the year.

It features four distinct rooms designed to provide age-appropriate environments where children can safely explore, learn, and develop independently. Each room offers direct access to a secure and engaging outdoor space, and the nursery benefits from its location within Standbridge Community Centre, allowing children to enjoy the centre's expansive grounds for nature walks, outdoor play, and bike riding.

All meals are prepared in a 5-star hygiene-rated kitchen, providing three meals and two snacks daily. A team of qualified early years practitioners implements the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, using careful observation to tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs.

The nursery collaborates with external professionals when necessary and has extensive experience supporting children with additional needs. The primary goal is to foster a safe and nurturing atmosphere where every child feels happy, inspired to learn, and encouraged to develop independence, self-expression, confidence, and kindness.

The nursery also prioritises strong relationships with families, working together to help children thrive, build resilience, and cultivate a love for learning.
