Ethos and Vision

Since 1982, Childsplay nursery has provided families with quality early years education and care. We're a non-profit co-operative: our focus is on providing the best environment for our children rather than generating income for shareholders, and the running of the nursery is the responsibility of our members (the parents and staff). We feel this helps us create and maintain an outstanding nursery.

We value and nurture every child individually and offer consistent support to all parents in their journey through a new experience from initial inquiry to going to school.

Nurture......... Learn.......... Grow...........

Our Ongoing Commitment

Children are the most important members of Childsplay and we encourage the development of their confidence and independence alongside care and respect for others.  We welcome and value all children at Childsplay, irrespective of their ability, religion, race, gender or cultural heritage, and encourage them all to fulfil their potential physically, mentally, academically and socially.

Childsplay recognise that a professional and committed team of parents and staff are the essential contributors for happy children; therefore we value the skills and ideas that each person brings to us.


It’s something this family of four all agree on – it is a great place to spend your early years!
