The nursery is a purpose built, single storey building. The nursery is just off junction 9 off the A14 & only five minutes drive to the centre of town with a large car park for easy drop off and collection of your child.
The nursery manager, Katheryne, has got a BTEC in Nursery Nursing, HND in Early Childhood Studies and a B.A Hons in Early Childhood Studies. She has worked for the nursery for nine years and first started work at Leapfrog as a Base Room Manager in the baby unit and then was promoted to deputy manager and then on to her current role as Nursery Manager.
"I always felt guilty leaving Chloe at nursery but when I realised how much she loved going, how well she was being cared for and how well she was doing with her confidence, personality and speech I no longer had any reservations about letting her go. When we ask her if she wants to go to nursery she always says yes and there is no struggle getting her through the front door. I cannot complain about any aspect of it, the staff are fabulous too."
- Sophie Woodford

Our nursery has a fully equipped kitchen where all meals are prepared and cooked using only the freshest produce - including fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
Each meal is carefully planned to meet each child's individual needs and to cater for any special dietary requirements.
Anthony Clarke is the nursery cook and has been working for the Kettering nursery for the sinc 2007. He has been consistent in maintaining high standards of hygiene and serves tasty meals that the children enjoy.
Anthony has both level two and three in food safety and is keen to attend any relevant training that will ensure he maintains his high standards. Anthony welcomes feedback from the parents and if you have any special dietary requirements that would need managing in nursery he is happy to discuss this with you.
For a small donation (to our charity) Anthony will bake your child a birthday cake, which he will provide for your child to decorate and share with their friends whilst at nursery.
