About Us

Playdays is a privately owned children's daycare nursery which offers the highest standards of care and education in a stimulating environment welcoming children from 0-5 years.
 
The company is owned and run by local people who have formed a dedicated, enthusiastic, friendly, well qualified and experienced team. Together we are committed to the following vision:

Playdays Daycare Nursery serves to provide excellent quality care for all its children.

We understand that the learning enviroment plays a key role in extending children's knowledge and development. We take into consideration that all children develop and learn in different ways.

We understand the importance of treating children as individuals and pride ourselves on listening to them.We promise, when caring for your children , to provide a safe, loving, stimulating and homely environment and be sensitive to their needs.

Children begin to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. At playdays Nursery we reconise this and value and treat each child as unique and listen to their individual thoughts and feeling.

We support all of our children through the Early Years Foundation Stage which helps us to understand each child's capacity for being a competent learner from birth. We recognise that each child can be resilient, capable, confident and self assured. We will work with parents to provide each and every child a learning enviroment thet will give them the best possible start and encourage children to build positive relationships with others.

The nursery opened in September 2004 following the extensive refurbishment of the Old Grammar school. The property, which was previously unoccupied, has been extensively renovated to meet all local and national standards for health, safety and security whilst creating a warm and caring environment and retaining much of its original character. The original building was built in 1799 is set in 0.6 acres of land which has been landscaped to create a large outdoor area. The gardens are used for outdoor play, picnics, reading and for growing vegetables and plants. The outdoors at Playdays is very much an extension of the learning experience within the building.

Playdays provides the ultimate care and education for your child, offering full and part time places, flexible opening hours and opportunities to save money on childcare costs with Childcare Vouchers.
The Nursery has secure access systems, individual play areas for babies, toddlers and pre-school children, all equipped with fantastic facilities and equipment.

The setting is OFSTED registered and is inspected under the Children's Act and receives regular visits to ensure our practices and procedures are in accordance with the National Day Care Standards.
