Daintry Hall Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Daintry Hall Day Nursery, situated in the picturesque village of North Rode, operates from a charming Grade II listed building that previously served as a village school since 1835. Following extensive refurbishment, the nursery first welcomed children in January 1999.

Its idyllic rural setting offers expansive views of fields and the surrounding countryside, providing a rich and inspiring environment for learning and exploration. The nursery actively engages with the local community, participating in events like the Harvest Festival and various fundraisers, and celebrates traditions such as its annual Christmas Nativity play at the local Church.

At its core, Daintry Hall Day Nursery is dedicated to fostering a loving, homely, and nurturing atmosphere, encouraging stimulating play and natural exploration. They prioritise continuous development of both their practices and staff to maintain high standards of professional conduct, ensuring their experienced practitioners are well-equipped to support children’s development and collaborate with healthcare professionals when needed.

The curriculum is thoughtfully planned to offer a wide array of experiences and learning opportunities, balancing structured learning with child-initiated play to promote holistic development across social, emotional, academic, cultural, and physical domains. A key focus is instilling a lifelong love of learning and encouraging children to take ownership of their educational journey, fostering self-motivation and an appreciation for the inherent value of learning.

What it's like

The philosophy of this nursery, "to care and educate the whole child", is what makes the setting so special. Children are comforted and extremely supported when they first attend. Their emotional well-being is given the utmost priority, and they are very happy and settled as they are safe and secure.
