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 0-11 years. The company is owned and run by local people who have formed a dedicated, enthusiastic, friendly, well qualified and experienced team. Our vision is captured within our Mission statement .
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 learning environment. The gardens are used for outdoor play, picnics, reading and for observing nature and 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 that only allow access to people who have their finger prints registered on our electronic system, individual play areas for babies, toddlers and pre-school children and also provides holiday club for children between the ages of 5-11years. All areas are fully equipped with fantastic facilities designed to engage and challenge our children.
The setting is OFSTED registered and is inspected every 3 years or so. You can find our latest OFSTED report on OFSTED’S website.
