About this day nursery

Holly Tree Children's Nursery provides comprehensive day care services for children ranging from three months to four years old, operating across two main sites in Wigan: Holly Tree Childrens Nursery on Tracks Lane, Billinge, and Holly Tree Pre-School and Trackers on St James’ Rd, Orrell. The nursery is structured into age-appropriate rooms, meticulously designed to support and enhance each child's developmental journey.

These include The Tiddler Room for infants (3-12 months) and distinct Lower and Upper Toddler Rooms for children aged 12 to 30 months. As children grow, they transition to the Lower Pre-School (30-36 months) and Upper Pre-School (36-48 months), where specific skills are targeted to prepare them for school.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on outdoor play and provides a nutritionally balanced menu, catering to various dietary requirements and allergies. Parents are actively involved through regular feedback and access to their child’s developmental records, ensuring a collaborative approach to early childhood education and care.

The staff are dedicated to nurturing children, fostering their social and communication skills, and promoting independence within a supportive and stimulating environment.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from the time they start attending. The setting supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children have an abundance of opportunities to explore a wide range of skills outdoors in the well-resourced garden areas. While some children practise their large physical skills on bicycles, other children choose to investigate how water flows or to share a book in the story dens. The provision of a wide range of outdoor opportunities ensures that the needs of children who prefer to learn outdoors are well met.

My son went to this nursery a few years ago and the care he received here was excellent. All of the staff are really genuinely caring people and the kids love them. My daughter now attends and has additional needs. She is well looked after and the staff can’t do enough for her. The out door space is huge and has plenty of areas to explore for kids of all ages. I highly recommend this nursery.
