Towcester Tots Day Nursery

About this day nursery

Towcester Tots Day Nursery offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from three months old up to preschool age, guided by the "Curiosity, Awe and Wonder" philosophy. The nursery features dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, promoting free-flow play both indoors and in a secure outdoor area, which includes an undercover space suitable for non-mobile infants or as a shaded play zone.

Emphasising a holistic approach, the nursery incorporates natural materials, messy play, and everyday items to foster sensory, fine motor, communication, and language development. Preschoolers engage in activities designed to prepare them for school, focusing on early number and letter recognition, phonics, and self-help skills.

The nursery prides itself on its highly qualified and passionate team, many of whom are parents themselves, fostering strong relationships with families. Towcester Tots is a family-run establishment committed to high standards of care and education, evidenced by its memberships with the National Day Nursery Association and the Early Years Alliance, and its regulation by Ofsted.

Our ethos

Drawing on the "Curiosity, Awe and Wonder" philosophy, Towcester Tots Day Nursery fosters a holistic approach through sensory, messy play and the use of natural materials to develop communication and language skills. Children are encouraged to engage in free-flow play, with a focus on preparing preschoolers for school through early literacy and numeracy activities.

What it's like

Children happily come into this warm, home-from-home nursery and are welcomed on arrival by the attentive staff. Staff cuddle the babies gently, who respond by babbling and snuggling in, demonstrating that they feel safe and secure. The children play cooperatively together and are kind.

Pricing & funding

Fees are structured around weekly and daily rates, with specific mid-day sessions available for both babies and toddlers and preschool children. Preschoolers also have the option for a shorter term-time only session.
