The nursery

The nursery has its own gated entrance in the off street barriered car park, with a large welcoming reception area leading to our spacious rooms. The main room is bright and airy set up with dedicated areas for child led play. Our role play areas have fascinating authentic resources, igniting each childs curiosity to explore in their own way. 

The sleep room doubles up as a quiet cosy corner for children to sit and read or chill out when they need to take a moment. There’s cushions, blankets and books for children to self select and neutral tones provoke a calm environment.

We offer lots of opportunity for messy play with soil, sand, water, flour, shaving foam and bubbles. Children will come home messy having explored all the different textures and adventures that messy play can offer.  We always say, don’t send your children to our nursery in their best clothes!

We have space for 20 children between the ages of birth to 4 years, cared for and inspired by a very experienced team. No two days are the same, our dedicated team create an inviting environment where the children feel that wow moment.

We’d love to show you round, please get in touch to book a viewing. 

Mixed age groups

At Poppies Day Nursery we believe in the benefits of mixed age groups. As Maria Montessori said “Observation: Younger children learn by watching older children as well as adults. In a mixed-age classroom, older children who are completing challenging lessons are an example to the younger children; they show what is possible.”

The Curiosity Approach

All of our nurseries follow The Curiosity Approach, a modern day approach that fits perfectly in current changing technological times. Bringing curiosity, awe and wonder into early childhood & creating the ‘thinkers & doers’ of the future. The Curiosity Approach® is a modern day approach to Early Childhood. It’s a beautiful recipe book of wonderful ingredients, carefully mixed together with experience, passion and a love of Early Childhood.
