About this day nursery
Nursery Rhymes Nursery operates two family-run day nurseries and pre-schools in Bollington and Cheadle, providing a nurturing environment within spacious buildings and extensive gardens for year-round outdoor play. The day nursery focuses on gentle transitions for new children, offering free settling-in sessions.
They prioritise creativity, imaginative play, and learning supported by skilled staff in bright, welcoming rooms with natural resources. Emphasising outdoor exploration, children have access to all-weather gardens with dedicated baby areas, making raincoats and wellies essential for their adventures.

Their fees are all-inclusive, covering creative activities, classes, healthy meals and snacks, nappies, wipes, and sun cream.
They offer discounts for full-time and sibling places, alongside flexible funded places for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds, and accept various childcare schemes.
