About this day nursery

Nina's Nurseries offers quality early learning and childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years across various locations, including Macclesfield. The day nursery network prides itself on providing unique and individualised experiences for each child, fostering awe and wonder in their early years.

Each setting is distinct, catering to local community needs, with some offering specialised approaches such as Montessori, Forest School, or Curiosity Accreditation. Some nurseries also provide additional activities like Bloom baby development classes, Yoga for mindfulness, or Boogie Babes musical sessions to support language development.

A core belief across all Nina's Nurseries is that every child possesses immense potential, is capable, curious, and drives their own learning. The nurseries are dedicated to ensuring this philosophy guides their practice, aiming for children to leave as confident, independent individuals equipped with essential life skills, making it a desirable choice for childcare.

Our ethos

I believe childhood experiences should be full of awe and wonder which is why my nurseries provide inspiring environments to ensure the best possible outcome for each unique child. Each of our nurseries have one thing in common, we believe all children are born with immense potential and are capable, curious and the driver of their own learning. We work hard to ensure that this way of thinking is our main focus and that all the children that enter their early year’s journey here with us leave as bold, confident and independent individuals equipped with the life skills they can draw upon.

My son has only been in Nina’s for 2 months, but he is absolutely loving it. He had really strong separation anxiety when he first arrived, but the staff were fantastic and they helped him settle in so well - he now looks forward to going to Nursery every week! We see big changes in him week by week; he is much more confident in social skills and physical movement. The nursery update you regularly on what your child has been up to and you can also see details of their day through the App Nina’s provide. As a parent, we still feel really connected with his day even though he is at nursery. We trust their way of looking after our son and this is one of the best decisions we ever made for him so far 💕

I cannot recommend Nina's enough. The Montessori philosophy and the small, friendly and calm feel of the nursery feel attracted us and since my son started there at 11 months old we've seen him grow so much in confidence. He struggled initially with the transition and the Nina's team were wonderful in gently helping him to settle in, suggesting things my son could bring in to help him feel more at home and spending lots of 1:1 time with him. It's been so nice to see how he's come out of his shell over the past weeks and months and how much affection the team there clearly have for him. We love the regular updates on what the babies have been up to - especially the trips out - and what's for lunch, and the communication with his key person and the wider team has been really impressive - it feels like being part of a big family.

I never write a google review but I just can't not take the time to share how amazing the team are at Nina's. Their passion was shown straight away when we had a panic that the nursery we were sending Finley to was closing and we were in a mad panic to find a new one, I made some enquiries late on an evening and the next morning by 8am, Gemma had called me to arrange a look around and got Finley enrolled on the same day. This was only the start of a positive journey, Finley had really struggled to settle into nursery life, but all the team were patient, gave him extra care and gave us advice on how to help, such as bringing things from home that were familiar to Finley (such as oatcakes!!) to make the change more comfortable for Finley. Now, Finley is thriving and loves going to Nursery. Each time he goes you can see his development coming along even more. He goes in with a smile, and comes out with a smile and as a parent this is all you can ask for. The app is amazing to keep you up to date with what they get up to. We are so glad we found Ninas. We can't thank the team enough, every single one is amazing, they have a genuine care in every single child, and they are all a credit to the Nursery.

Our little girl has been at Nina’s in the baby room for 5 months and absolutely loves it. She’s so well looked after and the activities she does every day really impress. The nursery has a really lovely, homely, family feel where all the staff and children from all rooms know and care for each other. Not only that but the food she eats is healthy, diverse and nutritious. She often comes home with new skills every week and knowing she’s developing so well whilst being cared for to such a great extent really puts our minds at ease. Leaving your little one is so hard but knowing she goes somewhere she loves and where she’s part of a family other than her own is very reassuring. We can’t rate Nina’s enough!

My child has been attending Nina's since he was 9 months old. We chose Nina's because of their approach to care and development which includes the calmer way the nursery itself is set. My son is now 18months and is developing so quickly, it's incredible. I know this is from the hard working team and the care they take to nurture each child individually. My son's confidence has grown so much since his first day and seems to be learning something new and exciting each time - we're so pleased! My family love the updates and we love to see the food menus and how much he's eaten each day - which means he's clearly very happy! We would highly recommend Nina's Nursery.
