About this day nursery

Heaton House Nursery, situated in Heaton, Bolton, offers exceptional childcare and education for children from birth to five years old. The nursery is dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment, drawing inspiration from various early years educational philosophies, including those of Montessori, Froebel, and Reggio Emilia.

With five thoughtfully designed rooms and a team of dedicated educators, the nursery aims to provide a tailored experience that caters to each child's unique requirements and interests. The nursery emphasises the crucial role of early childhood experiences in shaping lifelong learning and collaborates closely with parents and families to positively influence children's development.

Heaton House Nursery accommodates those seeking private care and those utilising government-funded schemes, providing flexible contract options of 51 or 45 weeks per year.

Our ethos

At Heaton House Nursery, we believe that the experiences children have in their first five years are critical in shaping their life-long learning. We recognise that, together with parents, wider family, carers, and early years professionals, we can make a positive difference to children’s lives. We believe that every child is unique and special, and we provide a learning environment that is tailored to the individual needs and interests of every child. We take inspiration from a wide range of early years theorists and philosophers, including Montessori, Froebel and Reggio Emilia, to inform our approach to teaching and learning.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are making exceptional progress from their starting points. The manager spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children visit their allotment every week to tend the plants and vegetables, bringing produce back to the setting to share. Staff teach children how to grow their own vegetables and use these in their cooking back at the nursery. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this was having on children's learning.
