Mon Ami Children's Nursery @ The Chimes

About this day nursery

Mon Ami Children's Nursery at The Chimes in Boston, established in 2004, has grown to become a modern facility with ample space for children's learning and play. Situated on Woodville Road, it's conveniently located near Staniland Primary School, the town centre, and the A52.

The nursery expanded in 2015, linking two properties to create a large Preschool Room, increasing its capacity by 40 places. The nursery is thoughtfully sectioned, with dedicated upstairs playrooms for babies and younger children, including a quiet baby room and a more spacious area with a baby gym, as well as a separate bedroom with full-sized cots to accommodate individual sleep routines.

Downstairs, a toddler room caters to 2-3 year olds with areas for arts and crafts, role-play, and a toddler gym. Children aged around three transition to the Preschool Room, which prioritises outdoor play and learning, encouraging exploration and physical activity.

The nursery places a strong emphasis on healthy eating, with a dedicated cook preparing fresh, nutritious meals from local produce, contributing to its five-star food hygiene rating. Mon Ami Boston also integrates children into the wider community through local walks, park visits, and trips to amenities like the library and railway station.

The nursery is committed to community engagement, actively fundraising for local and national charities.

What it's like

Children are invited to attend settling-in visits when they first start attending, helping them become familiar with staff and the environment. Children settle quickly and show close bonds with staff, who support them emotionally. Children are supported to understand their feelings and emotions, for example, through stories about colours that link to emotions.
