Waverley Day Nursery offers excellent childcare in a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for the very young. We care for children from 3 months to 5 years with a focus on stimulating, developmental learning through play. Our childcare provision is extremely flexible with a choice of drop-off and collection times between 07:30hrs and 18:00hrs for either term-time only or 51 weeks a year. Our Nursery was awarded a rating of 'Outstanding' in our most recent inspection in February/March 2024. 

We nurture the individual child by:

• Caring for and educating children in a beautiful, stimulating environment 
• Using materials that challenge, inspire and extend your child's learning
• Providing qualified teachers to enhance your child's learning
• Supporting the individual learning outcomes by working closely with each child
• Teaching children to respect and develop collaborative relationships within our Nursery and School community
• Being guided by your child's own interests and discoveries to enhance their learning

There are plenty of opportunities to explore and discover within our nursery rooms and gardens at Waverley Nursery whether your child is rolling, sitting, crawling or walking!

Our unique single-storey, ground floor nursery offers safety, and also the freedom of indoor/outdoor play choice for all children. Each age group also has its own classroom and own outdoor area.
