About this day nursery

Early Days Nursery operates two welcoming childcare facilities in the Staffordshire area: one in Weston Coyney and another in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Both nurseries offer comprehensive care for children aged 0 to 5 years, with various session options including morning, afternoon, and full-day bookings.

The Weston Coyney branch, established in 2015, additionally provides an out-of-school club for children aged 3 to 11, including full-day holiday care. The Newcastle-under-Lyme setting, which opened in 2001, also features an out-of-school club for the same age range, offering morning, afternoon, and holiday club sessions.

Early Days Nursery prides itself on its accessibility, with both locations conveniently situated for local families, and encourages prospective parents to visit and discuss their childcare needs with the dedicated staff. The nurseries are committed to providing exceptional care within a nurturing environment, aiming to support the developmental journey of each child.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator helps staff to make plans to adapt the curriculum to meet the children's learning needs, while further assessments are undertaken. The nursery supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children confidently balance and climb on obstacles and equipment. They enjoy jumping and skipping and excitedly show the inspector how they can hit the ball with their tennis racket. Children squeal with delight as staff encourage them to go outside with their umbrellas where they giggle and enjoy twirling around with them in the wind. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact on children's learning.

Great nursery, staff are lovely and fantastic with the kids. The invoicing/pricing is really easy to understand compared to others & everyone is really receptive and accessible if you have any questions or queries. We’re updated daily on what our son is up to you and what his focus areas are for the current term. Would recommend strongly to other parents looking for a nursery for their child.

Had to pull our 3 year old out off this nersery not so long ago as the staff could not cope with him and reduced his hours to we had calls from them everyday to ask if we could pick him up due to his behaviour they complained about him taking his shoes and socks of and running about they lied about him hitting teachers and other children when he didn't they made my partner very upset when she told them in a meeting that she could of lost her job because they were always calling to pick him up and they didn't seem to care about that me personally if they can't cope with a 3 year old then they should not be in business he has now started a new nursery he loves it there and the staff love him no problems what so ever so they just didn't want him there in 2016 early days nersery had a really bad review on the offsted website so I think people should know what they are really like they are just covering that up totally inadicute and that's what they do if they can't cope they send children home don't use this place totally inadicute
