We support our community with visits to a local residential home for dementia patients, as well as fundraising and acts of kindness.
Our outdoor spaces offer a rich learning environment, providing children with space to explore, play, and connect with nature.
Our home from home environment uses natural resources that engage children and ignite their curiosity and wonder.
I have worked within the childcare sector for over 15 years, starting as an Apprentice and progressing to Nursery Manager. Throughout my time at Children 1st, I have also worked within our training and developing team at various nurseries.
At Clowne we have a passionate and dedicated team, who truly feel so privileged to be a part of your child's early years. Together, we are role models and teachers to your children within our setting and seeing them reach their milestones is such a sense of achievement.
What I love most about our nursery is our strong sense of community. We are more than just a nursery, we are a family. We support our local community by delivering random acts of kindness and working alongside our local residential home, taking part in activities like carol singing for them.
I would be delighted to meet you and your family for a tour and show you what makes our nursery such a special place.
