Our award-winning nursery is led by a management team with over 60 years of combined early years experience. We bring decades of care, knowledge, and dedication to everyday nursery life.
Shine A Light Day Nursery wants to give your child as many new, interesting and stimulating experiences as we can, to develop their knowledge, imagination, personality and help them grow into confident individuals.
From the moment your child walks through our door on their first settle right until the day they leave us to continue their learning adventure at school, we are here right beside them making every day special for them.
Confident, Curious & Ready for School
Our preschool children enjoy a balance of purposeful play and carefully planned learning experiences, developing early literacy, maths, communication, independence and confidence – helping them make that exciting next step into school.
Children should be allowed to:
Every day should include each one. At Shine a Light Day Nursery our exceptional team is passionate about your child experiencing them ALL.
Our nursery features dedicated spaces designed for every stage of early childhood. While age guides offer a general roadmap, we honour the uniqueness of every child by supporting their transition to the next room only when they are truly ready.
We have five classrooms: Caterpillars, Ladybirds, Butterflies, Grasshoppers and Dragonflies. Each is abundant with natural light and opens directly onto the garden.
Fresh air and active play happen every single day, no matter the forecast. We don’t let a bit of rain stop us – we just pull on the waterproofs and wellies, head outside, and make the most of every season.
We invest in high-quality, age-appropriate equipment for every room and take pride in keeping everything in tip-top shape. We regularly replace and update our toys and resources so there’s always something fresh for the children to enjoy.
From baby to toddler your child will grow and develop in their own good time.
Transition into PreSchool will be when we feel your child is ready to enjoy the learning experiences and will be at least the full academic year before starting school.
We have a sensory, yoga and mindfulness room which the babies and children at every age can use to explore and express themselves in different ways.
We believe in giving children every opportunity to take part in trips and experiences inside and outside the nursery setting. From parks, libraries and museums to visits to the theatre and zoo!
Designed for each age-specific group, our play areas are imaginatively kitted out with a combination of play equipment, all-weather surfaces, grassed areas and landscaping.
Exploration continues into mealtimes, which are a happy, relaxed and sociable occasion – and a new opportunity to learn.
