You and your child will love our nursery and preschool in Great Cornard, specifically designed to support your child's development from the age of 3 months to 5 years.
Our cosy baby room has everything your tiny one needs to feel nurtured, while they have fun making exciting new discoveries to support their learning and development. Toddlers have their own room designed to encourage their individual interests and routines, with a dedicated toilet area to help with potty training.
Preschoolers will love their rooms, which have been thoughtfully designed for them to explore while discovering their independence. Children enjoy using the building blocks, painting in the art area, discovering how the world works with science experiments, using the indoor climbing frames and reading in the book corner.
As well as our bright and inspiring classrooms, we also have additional rooms to enhance your child's experience with us. These include a calming sleep room and a sensory room.
Give your child the confidence to thrive with our Nurture Approach—a warm, enriching early years experience designed by specialists to support every stage of development. Rooted in the EYFS curriculum, this personalised programme blends wellbeing-focused activities with exciting learning opportunities across subjects like maths, reading, writing, science, and art.
To help preschoolers feel truly ready for school, our Ready for School programme adds structure and focus to essential skills, building confidence and independence in a fun, supportive environment.
Whether your child is moving rooms or preparing for their next big step, we’re here to nurture their potential and spark a lifelong love of learning. You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app, which keeps you connected with their experiences and development every step of the way.
