About this day nursery

Hazles Farm Childcare is dedicated to providing high-quality early education to help children thrive. The nursery prides itself on creating a supportive and enriching atmosphere that fosters development in a fun and engaging way.

Parents can choose from various session types to suit their needs, and the nursery works to make childcare accessible through government funding schemes. With a focus on flexibility, Hazles Farm Childcare offers options for both term-time and stretched all-year-round care, ensuring children receive consistent learning opportunities.

The nursery also provides additional services like meals and enhanced activities to further enrich the children's experience, though these are charged separately from funded hours. They are committed to transparency with parents regarding funding and additional costs.

Hazles Farm Childcare aims to be a valuable partner for families, balancing work and childcare while prioritising each child's early learning journey. The nursery is part of a larger group with other locations including High Ercall, Mulberry Bush, and Crowmoor Nurseries.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make very good progress. The attentive staff get to know children's individual needs and work with their parents and other agencies to set achievable targets. Staff receive additional training to support their understanding of children's individual medical needs. Managers employ experienced staff, who work closely with the special educational needs coordinator to support children's individual targets.

Outdoor space

Children are encouraged to live healthy lifestyles and spend quality time learning outdoors. Children in the baby room strengthen their muscles by crawling, walking and climbing in their secure outdoor area. Older children access the forest area, excitedly searching for minibeasts and learning about how to look after them. The new purpose-built outdoor classroom is used to extend children's learning about nature, love of books and provoke their natural curiosity even further.
