About this day nursery

Thrive Culcheth, part of the larger Thrive Childcare group, is dedicated to fostering an enriching environment for children's growth and development. The nursery offers comprehensive care that includes healthy and balanced meals, along with essential items such as nappies, wipes, and formula milk.

They provide free settling-in sessions to ensure a smooth transition for both children and their families. The curriculum is built upon the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, emphasising hands-on learning, outdoor time, and even a Forest School programme.

Children benefit from a wide array of quality resources, e-learning journals for parent engagement, and various extracurricular activities like music, dance, and creative arts. The nursery also focuses on physical development with a commitment to at least three hours of physical activity daily, and promotes wellbeing through diverse activities including interactions with animals.

Celebrating milestones, such as graduation ceremonies, and strong parent partnerships through newsletters and evenings, are key aspects of their approach. Thrive Culcheth aims to provide a holistic and supportive experience for every child.
