Knighton Day Nursery & Pre-school

About this day nursery

Knighton Day Nursery, established in 1993, operates as an independent, family-run childcare facility in Knighton, Leicestershire. Located on Welford Road, a primary commuter route into Leicester, the nursery benefits from excellent accessibility via both private and public transport.

Catering to children aged 3 months to 5 years, the nursery is open 51 weeks a year, from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, observing closures only for Bank Holidays and during the Christmas period. The nursery premises, a converted bungalow, house three dedicated group rooms for children up to three years old, each supported by its own staff team.

Knighton Day Nursery is accredited by The Curiosity Approach™, an educational philosophy that integrates elements from Reggio, Steiner, Te Whariki, and Montessori approaches, fostering an environment that stimulates curiosity, wonder, confidence, and independence in young children. Their ethos is centred on providing high-quality care, engaging learning opportunities, and varied experiences in a supportive and relaxed setting.

The nursery prides itself on its long-serving, qualified team, which works closely with parents to facilitate individual learning and development. They have a strong reputation within the community, often receiving new enrolments through word-of-mouth recommendations, with some current parents having attended the nursery themselves as children.

They maintain an open-door policy for visitors, allowing prospective parents to observe the nursery環境 firsthand. The establishment also holds a 5-star Food Hygiene rating.
