Heirs and Graces PDN

About this day nursery

Heirs and Graces Private Day Nursery, located in St Helens, has been a cornerstone of early childhood education for over two decades. Housed in the historic Old School House in Dentons Green, the nursery offers a secure, stimulating, and joyful space for children aged 0-5 to develop and flourish.

The nursery prides itself on being more than just a childcare provider; it is a place where every child is recognised, valued, and celebrated. Their mission is to deliver a warm, inclusive, and excellent early years experience that cherishes each child's unique qualities and establishes a foundation for a happy, self-assured future.

They are committed to kindness and care, learning through play, and forming strong partnerships with parents. The nursery strictly follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with a play-based approach, promoting imagination, independence, and resilience.

Each space is thoughtfully designed with the child's well-being and development in mind, from the baby room to the pre-school. The dedicated team, many of whom hold Level 3 and higher qualifications, including those with Qualified Teacher Status, are passionate about making a positive impact on each child's life.

Heirs and Graces has received an "Ofsted Rated 'Good'" in February 2024, the NDNA "Platinum" Quality Counts award, and has been named a Top 20 Nursery in the North West. They are also recognised by St Helens Borough Council for their contribution to early years standards.
