The Heatons Preschool and Day Nursery

About this early years setting

The Heatons Preschool and Day Nursery, a childcare setting on non-domestic premises located in Stockport, SK4 4LW, provides a highly inviting and welcoming environment where children flourish and thrive. The nursery prides itself on the enthusiastic staff team who support children in following routines and making positive choices, with a strong focus on acknowledging efforts and encouraging a positive self-view.

Leaders and chefs place a high emphasis on promoting healthy lifestyles, designing low-sugar, low-salt menus and providing nutritious meals, including their own baked beans and fruit-based ice lollies. Children have extensive opportunities to learn about diverse cultures through activities such as celebrating Passover and Chinese New Year, and visit a local care home to establish intergenerational relationships.

A rich array of extra-curricular activities, including football, ballet, and baby sign language, further enhances their development. The nursery maintains excellent partnerships with parents and carers, whose feedback is overwhelmingly positive, often highlighting the nurturing staff and welcoming atmosphere.

This collaborative approach, combined with a dedicated focus on staff wellbeing and professional development, contributes to a low staff turnover, ensuring consistent and high-quality care for all children.
