Our home from home environment uses natural resources that engage children and ignite curiosity and wonder while our large garden creates calm and tranquillity.
Our rooms are created to support the needs of our babies, toddlers and preschoolers and our team adapt areas in line with the children’s interests.
Children eat healthy meals together in smaller groups with opportunities to assist with serving.
Every day at Old Crofts Bank we encourage children to be inquisitive and creative in our wonderful learning environment. In doing so, they soon develop a real love of learning and a curious mind.
Our experienced team come with a wealth of early years learning insight with many of them having been with us for over 10 years and with advanced qualifications and training. Our setting offers so many learning opportunities for children and our beautiful garden allows them to play, imagine and explore.
We know that every child is different with their own story to tell, so we make sure that your child learns in a way and at a pace that’s right for them.
Come along to our happy nursery – we’d love to meet you and your family.
Children enjoy engaging cookery sessions, exploring ingredients and developing skills through hands-on fun. They also become curious about where food comes from, with opportunities to learn about growing ingredients, fostering a love for food.
Our bespoke food menus cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy nutritious meals. With a wide range of meal options, we provide a diverse and inclusive dining experience that encourages healthy eating and introduces new flavors.
Our onsite chef prepares nutritious, delicious meals using locally sourced ingredients where possible. We introduce children to a variety of flavors, sparking curiosity, encouraging healthy eating habits, and fostering an appreciation for good nutrition from an early age.
At Old Crofts Bank, we love being part of a caring and connected community. Giving back is something we’re truly passionate about, which is why we’ve chosen to support British Heart Foundation, a cause that hold special significance for us. Earlier this year, our nursery community was deeply affected by the sudden loss of a loved one due to a heart condition, reminding us how vital research and support are in the fight against heart disease.
Throughout the year, we’ll be getting together for lots of fundraising activities, from bake sales and dress-up days, to sponsored challenges. Together we can make a difference to such an important cause and inspire our children to grow with kindness and generosity. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a community! Keep an eye out for updates on our events and how you can get involved in supporting British Heart Foundation.
Amidst all that learning, there’s plenty of time for play with games, creative activities and outdoor fun.
If children prefer some time away from the hustle and bustle, our quiet area is equipped with reading books and spaces to complete homework.
Whether it’s breakfast to start the day or a hearty meal after school, all of our nutritious food is freshly prepared daily.
