About this day nursery
Treetops Day Nursery, established in 2002, is situated within a spacious Victorian building featuring three extensive outdoor play areas for children to explore. These include a soft play area for infants, an astroturf section with climbing equipment, and a forest garden equipped with a water wall, mud kitchen, obstacle course, and areas for planting and bug hunting.
The nursery provides large classrooms that support learning through play, guided by a highly qualified team. They aim to equip children with foundational knowledge in Phonics, Mathematics, Literacy, Science, and Physical Education before they transition to school.
Additionally, the nursery offers a dedicated large indoor play area, an art room, dining facilities, and a calming sensory room. Located in Sheffield 11, it benefits from proximity to local parks and woodlands for regular outings and is easily accessible via various transport links, with on-site parking available for families.
