  • Who we are

    Intimate, small and nurturing setting developing capable learners and communicators

    Our smaller size really is our most unique feature; enabling us to work closely with children and families in order to meet their individual needs.

    Apricot Nursery and Pre-school are set across two sites, ensuring that we are able to give children a truly unique and special nursery experience. Children start their journey here at our Apricot Nursery. We are a true home from home nursery and pride ourselves on our parent partnerships. We follow the children’s interest, ensuring no two days the same!

    The nursery consists of three base rooms; each benefit from having their own safe and enclosed, age appropriate outside play area. This provides all of our children with free flow access to explore the outside play area whenever they want.

    "The staff there are so warm and caring"

    "My daughter started there in January and loves going, the staff there are so warm and caring towards the children and parents. My son went there previously and enjoyed his time there as well. Would recommend it to any parent looking for a nursery."

    "Very happy with my son’s development in this nursery"

    "Very happy with my son’s development in this nursery. They treat his egg allergy very seriously. They have great communication in letting me know about my son's day. I feel very comfortable leaving my son at this nursery."

    "I was so impressed with the care towards my baby and myself"

    "The whole team has been amazing from the settling session to when my baby started. I was so impressed with the care towards my baby and myself. They understood how worried I was about leaving him. Feedback at the end of the day about what he has been doing, food, and sleeps - outstanding. I know he enjoys his days at nursery as he gets excited when coming in."
