About this day nursery

Pebbles Day Nursery, established in 2014, is a nurturing and inviting childcare setting dedicated to children aged 0-5 years. The day nursery prides itself on fostering a fun, friendly, and calming atmosphere where children can thrive and develop at their own pace.

Recognising the critical importance of early childhood development, Pebbles provides diverse experiences to support learning and growth. The nursery strongly values its partnerships with parents, understanding that their involvement significantly enhances a child's experience.

The qualified staff collaborate closely with families to ensure each child is happy and receives the maximum benefit from their time at the nursery. Parents are welcome to view all nursery policies upon request.

An endearing aspect of Pebbles is the occasional visit from Charlie, the family's hypoallergenic pet dog, who enjoys interacting with the children. The nursery encourages prospective families to explore their website and reach out with any inquiries, aiming to make the decision-making process for choosing a nursery as smooth as possible.

This is a fantastic nursery. Rachel the owner is so so helpful, she goes above and beyond for you :) My son came to this nursery when it was Little Treasures, my daughter came here when it was Pebbles. My other daughter is coming here in March 2024 and I’m so excited for her to start her education journey here. There’s staff here that remember my son when he came here in 2011-2012 aswell as my daughter who was here in 2017-2018!
