Nursery Facilities

At our nursery, we provide a safe and caring environment in which babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers can become confident learners, thrive alongside those of a similar age and, most importantly, have lots of fun along the way.

Each room features age-appropriate learning equipment and educational toys designed to keep the kids engaged throughout the time they spend with us. From drawing and painting tables for aspiring little artists, to fancy dress costumes with which the kids can learn about the world around them, to fine motor toys for those getting to grips with growing up. Nurturing a sense of curiosity for learning and creativity is at the core of everything in our approach.

Our Busy Bees app allows you to keep right up to date with all their latest achievements too. We're also fortunate to have access to an outdoor space. It allows the kids to get outdoors in the fresh air. Seesaws, slides, and a climbing frame provide plenty of opportunities to have fun!

We're located on The Fairway Pipers Way, under a 10-minute drive away from Swindon town centre.

When you arrive, you'll find our nursery has lots of its own dedicated parking spaces. This means you can easily pick up and drop off your kids

. You're also welcome to leave your buggy with us after dropping your child off for the day. It'll remain securely stored until you come to pick them up in our buggy store.

I cannot recommend them enough, they are fantastic, my LB absolutley loves coming & gets so excited. He has come on so much which is 100% down to them. The girls are amazing & I always get sad when one of them leaves I am not sure who will be sadder when he has to leave me or him!
