Our nursery is in the heart of Chelmsford within walking distance to the town, central park and the duck pond which gives our children places to visit, widening their knowledge of the local community .

The nursery is all on one level with each base room having access to their own lovely, spacious, alluring garden which the children enjoy exploring. 

We are very lucky to have a diverse staff team who are all very friendly, welcoming and strive to provide every child with the best start in life.

The nursery values each family and treats all children as individuals planning activities around the child’s interests whether this be something they have observed at nursery or something that has come from home via the parent/carer. The link between home and nursery life is paramount. 

We welcome to invite you to come and look around our beautiful, thriving nursery, book a visit today!

Please note, that we only offer full-day sessions, allowing us to provide a structured and enriching environment for your little one to thrive.
