About this day nursery

Piglets Day Nursery, situated in Bursledon, Southampton, offers a nurturing environment for children, conveniently located just off M27 Junction 8. The nursery is thoughtfully structured with distinct rooms to cater to different age groups and developmental stages.

The Baby Room is designed for the youngest attendees, providing a safe and stimulating space for infants. As children grow, they transition to The Tigger Room, which focuses on further development and exploration.

The Pre-School Room prepares older children for their transition to primary school, focusing on early education and social skills. The nursery encourages parents to contact them via phone or email for inquiries and provides clear directions to its rural setting near River Hamble Country Park and Manor Farm.

While the website provides a comprehensive overview of their facilities and contact information, specific details about daily routines, curriculum, and staffing are available through direct inquiry or exploration of other sections of their site. The nursery emphasises a supportive atmosphere, detailed across dedicated pages for each age group, ensuring a tailored approach to childcare and early education.
