About this day nursery

Eveline Day Nursery Schools, a family-operated establishment since 1964, provides comprehensive day care services for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Situated across seven nurseries and an associated school, the organization emphasizes a nurturing and homely atmosphere for children’s growth and development.

The nurseries operate Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, for 51 weeks annually. They advocate for an active partnership with parents, encouraging regular communication, particularly for those on waiting lists, and flexibility in session choices to secure a place.

The registration process involves submitting an online form and a fee, followed by arranging a visit to the preferred nursery. A deposit is required to confirm a place, which is refundable upon departure, provided a month's notice is given and all fees are settled.

The nursery also facilitates various government funding schemes and advises parents to check their eligibility.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress. Staff work in partnership with other professionals to ensure that education, health and care plans are in place for those children who need them before they start school. This helps to ensure that children receive the timely support they need.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy accessing the outdoor area and have lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills. Staff support the youngest babies to take their early steps with walkers and climb stairs to a slide, while toddlers enjoy strengthening their muscles during activities such as digging in the mud area.

Our 4 year old daughter has been at Eveline Nursery, Grand drive for 2 years and we have no complaints. They have a lovely outdoor space and the kids spend lots of time outside when the weather is good. The staff are great and Charlotte loves them so much. They are very sweet with her and we feel great leaving her with them.
