About this day nursery

Toddlers Children's Nursery Limited provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 0-5 years, guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The nursery focuses on enabling growth and inspiring success through a child-centred approach to learning.

They prioritise emotional security, employing a "Key Person" approach where children naturally bond with a staff member who then monitors their development and acts as a main point of contact for parents. The curriculum emphasises communication and language, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional development.

Beyond core learning, the nursery offers specialist sessions such as "Health Heroes" for basic safety awareness and "Little Chef's" for hands-on cooking experiences. All meals are prepared on-site by a dedicated chef, are 100% Halal, balanced, organic, and cater to various dietary requirements, focusing on low sugar and salt.

The nursery prides itself on its highly qualified practitioners and a welcoming atmosphere, aiming to be an extension of each child's family. They offer both full and half-day sessions, with flexible options for those utilising 30 hours funded childcare.

Funding for meals is not included in the funded hours, and a separate charge applies. The nursery encourages prospective parents to book a personal tour to experience their facilities and ethos firsthand.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the baby group. Our little one is always settled, happy, and clearly well cared for. A big thank you to Caitlin, Summer, and Sarah for their kindness and support. It’s lovely to see how much care and attention they give every day.

We LOVE Toddlers Childrens Nursery! We moved our little boy from another nursery which we had been using for 4 years so we were a little anxious for the move. However Sarah and her team are excellent and we had absolutely nothing to worry about at all. All the team look after the children like they would their own. Every aspect of their development and emotional needs are nurtured - all whilst having fun and learning. I can not recommend the nursery more :-)

I couldn't be happier with Toddlers Children's Nursery, Whitefield. Small, friendly, family feel where my youngest is thriving and having fun, always happy to be dropped off. My eldest also loved the summer holiday club last year, we hope it runs again this year!
