## About this day nursery

The Pines Day Nursery, established in 1996, is a well-regarded childcare provider located on Stanton Road in Ilkeston. Housed in a spacious, converted three-storey Victorian property, the nursery is registered to accommodate up to 83 children daily.

The Pines is dedicated to delivering a superior standard of care and education, operating for 51 weeks of the year from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. The nursery prides itself on its clear principles and objectives, striving to offer a comprehensive and age-appropriate learning experience for all children.

Their experienced and devoted team works diligently to ensure that the transition away from home is as comfortable and pleasant as possible for each child. Recognising the vital role of parents as primary educators, The Pines actively fosters strong partnerships with families, building open and honest relationships from the initial induction.

The nursery is regulated by Ofsted, having received a "Good" rating in all areas during their latest inspection on March 26, 2024. They also collaborate with Derbyshire County Council Children and Young Adults Dept and various health departments, as well as local feeder schools.
