Conkers Nursery
Unlocking Curiosity
About Us
From the Beginning
Conkers is a warm, welcoming, home-from-home nursery for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, where a dedicated staff team is committed to providing a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment for children. In line with childhood learning and development best practice, and appropriate to age, children are cared for, inspired and supported to gain new experiences, and learn about the world and themselves in an inclusive, cheerful, purpose-built environment.
Our aim is to provide a friendly, caring and homely atmosphere where children develop social skills and independence with peers and adults.
Our nursery is designed to cater for the individual development of each child in an environment that is calm, happy and safe.
We pride ourselves on providing a service to enable parents to work and live their daily lives knowing their children are cherished and cared for.
Following the Early Years Foundation Stage, our team of expert nursery practitioners focus on each child as an individual using our online “connect” system to document children’s learning through social and emotional skills, physical achievements and our environment.

"Practitioners are highly qualified. They have a good understanding of the early years foundation stage, and know their key children well. Assessment records show that children's progress is good. Staff offer a wide range of activities and resources that children are keen to join in. For example, children work as a team during an activity with sand, to construct a model building for the toy dinosaurs to sleep in. Other children enjoy reading stories or working on the computer with their key person. Staff plan a variety of challenging experiences within the toddler and pre-school unit rooms. For example, they use numbered plant pots and dice to develop mathematics, and make paper Easter eggs to help children recognise colours and match shapes. Staff listen carefully to what children have to say and give them time to respond to questions."
