About this day nursery

Westview Day Nursery, established in 2002, offers a nurturing environment for children from 3 months of age in Bradford on Avon. The nursery operates from a charming three-storey Georgian property, with an additional setting, Shambles, opened in 2019, located just 800m away.

Both nurseries are designed to foster play, learning, and growth in a healthy and natural setting, valuing each child as a unique individual. The curriculum focuses on developing confidence, independence, and well-being through curiosity, discovery, and magical experiences.

The nursery aims to provide a space where children can thrive and explore their potential.
