Empowering Young Minds: Exceptional Childcare in the Heart of Taunton
Welcome to our esteemed Taunton Day Nursery and Pre-school, ideally situated on Wellington Road, designed to offer exceptional childcare solutions to families in Taunton, Wellington, and the surrounding communities. Our facility boasts a state-of-the-art, purpose-built environment tailored to nurture young minds and bodies.
Premier Childcare Facilities
Our nursery is meticulously organised into three distinct groups, each structured to reflect the unique stages of development in children from infancy through to pre-school age. This tailored approach ensures that each child receives personalised care and educational experiences that foster their individual growth:
- The Baby Room: Dedicated to infants up to 2 years old, this area is equipped with stimulating, age-appropriate toys and activities that support early developmental milestones.
- The Bouncy Room: For toddlers aged 2-3 years, this vibrant space encourages active learning and play, crucial for the development of motor skills and early social interactions.
- The Pre-school Room: Catering to children from 3 years up to school age, this group focuses on preparing our older children for the transition to formal schooling with a curriculum that promotes academic readiness and personal growth.
Expansive Outdoor Learning Environment
Our extensive outdoor area is an integral part of our daily curriculum, providing a secure and stimulating environment where children can explore and engage with the natural world. This space is designed to enhance physical development, encourage imaginative play, and support environmental awareness among all age groups.
Nutritional Excellence and Safety
Nutrition plays a key role in our care, with all meals freshly prepared on-site by our skilled nursery cook, who follows a seasonal menu to ensure variety and balance. Our kitchen operations are held to the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, consistently earning a 5* rating from Environmental Health inspections.
Community and Flexibility
Although we maintain strong affiliation ties with the local college, our nursery operates independently, offering flexible childcare solutions year-round to accommodate the diverse needs of our community. This includes placements for parents from the wider community as well as from those who are students and staff.
The nursery is open year-round from Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, ensuring we are here when you need us the most.
