About this day nursery
Gable House Nursery School, along with its Burlington counterpart, provides exceptional childcare and early education in Bridlington. Both nurseries are dedicated to nurturing children's growth and development in stimulating and safe environments.
They believe in a holistic, play-based approach to learning, adhering to the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. The curriculum is designed to foster a love for learning, encourage exploration, and ensure each child receives personalised attention to reach their full potential.
The nurseries aim to broaden children's experiences by introducing them to new concepts and environments daily, including planned outings to local attractions and extensive outdoor play. This approach helps children develop self-awareness and understanding of the world around them, preparing them for their next educational steps.
The Gable House setting is near the town centre, parks, beaches, and the harbour, while Burlington Nursery boasts large green playing fields and dedicated Forest School areas. Both nurseries emphasise outdoor experiences and enriching activities to build 'Cultural Capital' in every child.

My little boy joined Gable house nursery just before Christmas, I was so nervous about leaving him while he’s still so little but the team/staff were amazing, with him and myself making us both feel at ease and going at a pace that suited us! We get regular updates throughout the day while he’s at nursery with photo which I love! He absolutely loves going and he has come leaps and bounds. I would 100% recommend!

All of my Children have attended Gable House Nursery over the last 12 years, and honestly we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff at Gable House/Rocking Horse are brilliant; they treat the children as if they are their own, creating a warm and nurturing environment that has made our children feel safe and loved every day. The dedication and professionalism of all the staff is second to none. They are not only caring but also highly skilled in early childhood education, providing a range of activities that have significantly contributed to all of our children's development over the years. Whether it's creative arts, outdoor play, or early literacy and numeracy skills, the variety and quality of the programs offered are exceptional. The facilities at Gable House are excellent, always clean, and well-maintained, providing a stimulating environment for the children to learn and grow. The communication from the staff is also outstanding. We receive regular updates on our son's progress and daily activities, which keeps us connected and reassured. I will be heartbroken to see my last baby leave this placement in 2026 but feel truly honoured that Gable House has been such an important part of our family for as many years as it has. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare for their children, you won't be disappointed.

My son has attended Gable House since November 2021 and I cannot fault any aspect of the nursery at all. From the baby room to the current preschool room, they have been extraordinary! The staff are always super friendly, accommodating and most importantly my son feels comfortable and loves attending. The facilities and trips they organise help boost my son's learning in such a fun way and I'll be sad when he leaves to start primary school!
