Welcome To Nutfield Day Nursery
Our nursey was established in 1994. In 2001, my husband, Lee and I took over and moved into the old rectory. The Victorian building now houses our four children and our dogs and we oversee the daily running of Nutfield Day Nursery (NDN) and everything that it involves on a full-

We pride ourselves on nursery investment and constant development, particularly with our staff who embrace our direction and willingness to create change for the children and to ensure advancement of the nursery.

No one day at NDN is the same but each day is extremely rewarding, regardless of our role within the team. At the forefront of any of our roles is our safeguarding duty to each and every child -
We thrive on becoming part of your extended family, sharing knowledge and celebrating the children’s achievements with you. Becoming part of the NDN family is often long term, it’s exciting as the child care sector regularly changes and develops. We have a common interest as the children are of course central to everything we do. Parents are engaged with our endeavours through various communication channels as we recognise that most of our mums and dads are busy at work. But time is found for our special events and many parents take up support roles for nursery to play a true part in our community.
Nutfield Day Nursery is full of character. It is impossible to put that in writing because you would have to see us in action but here are some key words that represent us.
Real and meaningful experiences, process led activities, open ended resources, cosy, risk and challenge, girls and boys, outside, nature, Forest school, support, guidance, feelings, play, teams, friends, family, not to mention the mud, sand and water and quite a few trees.
Come and visit us during different seasons to experience the fun we have and bring your welly boots!
