About this day nursery

The day nursery caters to children from six months through to school age, offering a nurturing, secure, and supportive atmosphere where children can engage in play, learning, and personal development. The daily schedule at TickTock Day care emphasises play, consistent routines, and outdoor activities, allowing children to explore, participate in various engaging activities, share meals, and forge friendships within a calm and supportive setting.

The day nursery is committed to creating an environment where every child feels valued and supported, cultivating strong relationships with both children and their families to ensure each child feels settled, understood, and well-supported.
