About this day nursery

Roundabouts Day Nursery, established in 2008 in Nantwich, provides a nurturing environment for children aged 0-4 years. The nursery operates Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm, all year round, and includes funded early education for two, three, and four-year-old children.

Children are happy and well cared for, confidently making choices and building strong relationships with adults. Babies quickly settle into their routines, mirroring their home environments.

The nursery's curriculum, guided by the manager's strong vision, ensures children gain a deep understanding of the world around them, with varied opportunities like visits from a guide dog and a local swimming club. There's a particular focus on developing independence, with older toddlers learning to use cutlery and pre-schoolers pouring their own drinks.

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong, with a dedicated SENCo who collaborates with other agencies to implement strategies such as visual timetables. Children who speak English as an additional language are also well-supported through simple sentences and visual cues.

The best nursery around! All staff are absolutely lovely and are so kind, friendly and enthusiastic towards children. My son has been attending since 9 months old, hes just left to start school. If you have the slightest query, its no trouble to them to take the time to help you. They have 3 big outdoor play areas which was my main thing when i was looking for a nursery, they love doing stuff outdoors. Very highly recommend roundabouts!

So far so good... and it got even better. My daughter (now at school) loved it due to staff who really cared. My concerns about their hearing was listened too and acted upon. I regret sending my children anywhere else.
