Nursery Facilities

Upon visiting the nursery setting, you’ll see that we have an abundance of well-organised, stimulating resources and activities for children to discover. Our light and airy rooms are separated into age groups and development stages, and we have a warm and welcoming nursery team.

Everything we do at our Cheadle nursery is geared towards providing the best for your little one, whether that’s supporting with reading, counting, fine motor skills, or providing delicious and nutritious balanced meals throughout the day.

We also truly believe that communication is key and want to ensure that all parents are kept in the loop with what their child is getting up to, as well as their overall growth and development within the setting. Your child’s key person will provide regular written and photo updates on our Busy Bees app, allowing you to see how much your child is enjoying their time at our Cheadle Kingsway nursery.

You'll find our nursery on High Grove Road, not far from the main Kingsway Road. Although easily accessible from many main roads, our nursery is tucked away in a pleasantly quiet area. We offer convenient parking, allowing for easy and safe collection and drop-off, as well as a handy buggy store for parents arriving on foot or public transport. The nearest rail link is Gatley rail station, which is approximately a 13-minute walk from the nursery, or alternatively, there is a bus stop servicing Kingsway School which is only a four-minute walk away.
