About this day nursery

Prime Time 3, part of the Prime Time Group, was established by a parent seeking to provide exceptional childcare that she herself would feel confident entrusting her own children to. This philosophy guides the nursery's comprehensive offerings, which aim to cater to the diverse needs of modern families.

Recognising the challenges parents face in balancing work and childcare, Prime Time 3 offers flexible solutions including a dedicated baby unit and a holiday club designed for a wide age range, right up to teenagers. The nursery is committed to creating a nurturing, stimulating, and welcoming educational environment where children can thrive.

Emphasis is placed on delivering high-quality care and learning experiences to all children, fostering their development in a secure and supportive setting. The nursery also actively supports families in navigating available government funding options to help manage childcare costs.

I can't speak highly enough of prime time 3! The staff are amazing and really do go above and beyond to help, both my 9 year old and 8 month old have been really happy at primetime. There are lots of activities to keep the kids happy and to drain excess energy!! The ap used is amazing very detailed, telling everything from what has been eaten to toilet visits;) Thankyou all at primetime 3, you really make a huge difference:)
