The day nursery focuses on creating a joyful, secure, and nurturing environment where children can form friendships and learn. As a non-profit, community-run organisation, any financial surplus is reinvested to provide affordable, high-quality childcare. The day nursery prides itself on its dedicated team and a voluntary management committee that supports its mission. Registered with Ofsted in 1983 as a short-term initiative, SRC quickly escalated in popularity due to high demand for quality childcare, leading to its relocation to a dedicated facility on Gaza Street in 1991, where it has continued to thrive.

Staff know the children well and set out activities that capture their interest, leading to children quickly engaging in self-directed play.
