About this day nursery

Kids' Corner Nurseries offers flexible childcare solutions across several locations in the Selby, Goole, and Bridlington areas, aiming to meet diverse family needs without requiring payment for unwanted sessions. The nursery chain prides itself on providing outstanding early years education with an individualised approach for each child.

They cater to a broad age range, from infants to school-aged children up to 11 years old, with specialised settings such as their Drax nursery (based in a former primary school with extensive outdoor space), a Pre-School in Drax for children aged 2-11, and a unique Bridlington nursery located in a former seaside museum, featuring themed rooms like a cinema room and a sandcastle room. Beyond full-day care, Kids' Corner also operates before and after-school clubs in locations like Barlow, Whitley, and Hensall, working in conjunction with local primary schools to offer wrap-around care.

The nurseries emphasise a nurturing and fun learning environment, adhering to the EYFS framework, which parents commend for thoroughly preparing children for school. They also accommodate various government funding options, highlighting their commitment to accessible and supportive childcare.

A fantastic and bright setting within a beautiful and caring environment. I have watched Kids Corner develop three wonderful settings over recent years. Steph’s passion and commitment to delivering the best in EYFS education in every setting is second to none. My son has thrived and build fantastic relationships with both children and staff alike. I hope all education my son receives is as brilliant as this!
