Sweetcroft Day Care in Princes Risborough

About this day nursery

Sweetcroft Day Care, located in both Uxbridge and Lacey Green, is dedicated to fostering an environment where children from infancy to five years old can flourish. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the nursery views each child as inherently strong, capable, and full of potential.

They believe learning is a joyful journey of discovery, supported through play, meaningful relationships, and enriching experiences. The spaces are thoughtfully designed as "living classrooms" – calm, natural, and abundant with opportunities for children to explore, create, and connect with their surroundings.

Sweetcroft Day Care emphasises a collaborative approach with families, honouring the diverse ways children express themselves through art, storytelling, nature, and imagination. This holistic method aims to cultivate confidence, compassion, and a lifelong love for learning in every child.

The nursery operates Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, providing full-time and day rates that include all food and drinks, as well as an hourly drop-in service for available slots.
