About this day nursery

Trinity Play Centre, established in 1968 as Trinity Play Group, moved to its current Duke Street location in 1974. Conveniently located near the town centre, the nursery operates from an old school building, offering a spacious environment where children can naturally develop their skills through play.

The centre prioritises a secure, friendly, and family-oriented atmosphere, allowing children to learn and grow at their own pace. They provide various sessions to accommodate different needs, including full-time and daily rates, along with morning and school day options.

The centre also offers before and after-school clubs for Holland House students, which include breakfast or dinner, though these are currently paused and set to return soon. Meals for all children are provided by Robinson Catering, focusing on healthy eating.

Trinity Play Centre places importance on dedicated staff and features different rooms named after insects: Butterflies, Ladybirds, and Bumblebees, suggesting an age-appropriate or themed approach to childcare. The nursery encourages prospective parents to get in touch for availability and to download their prospectus for more information about their services and philosophy.
