About this day nursery

Heart Preschool, located in Nottingham, offers a childcare and early years provision rooted in Christian values. The preschool operates with a strong emphasis on learning through play, fostering a happy and secure environment where children can flourish.

With a team of highly qualified staff, including those with teaching degrees, the preschool provides both indoor and extensive outdoor spaces, allowing children to engage in free-flow play regardless of the weather. They create an environment designed to stimulate minds, capture interests, and playfully engage children to support their development.

The preschool received a "GOOD" rating in its OFSTED inspection on September 20, 2021, and is dedicated to providing quality education and an inclusive provision for all children, including those with additional needs. Nutritious meals are provided, and parents are encouraged to stay updated on their child's progress and preschool news through the Famly App.

The founder, Angela Msumba, was inspired by her faith and love for children to establish the preschool, drawing on her background in education and the support of the community.

Our ethos

Fifteen years ago God gave me the vision to set up a quality Childcare and Early Years provision with a Christian ethos in the local community. My passion for the lord and love for children has given me the drive to do this. Along this journey, I have been equipped with the knowledge, skills, and expertise to make this vision come alive along with the massive support from the community, outside agencies, Early Years groups and of course the Church.

What it's like

The children are happy and feel safe and secure with the staff, contributing positively to their well-being. They thrive in their learning due to a strong team spirit and a culture of respect. Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside and learn to take manageable risks.

We have the pleasure of sending our daughter Jenna to Heart Preschool. We can see a dramatic improvement in her essential skills such as interaction, speech and mobility. She is a happy child as she is in a safe and well looked after facility run by amazing staff. Special thanks to both Angela & Lisa plus rest of the team for the hard work in keeping the children educated with fun activities. As parents we get regular feedback and looking forward to sending our younger daughter. Highly recommended.
