Great Cornard Day Nursery and Preschool

"My children are very happy at nursery. They are both so eager to enter their rooms in the morning that it is clear that they are well taken care of. The staff often organise activities to cater for their specific learning needs and development."

A wonderful nursery in Great Cornard

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.

Resources and Rooms for Every Age

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. Preschoolers will feel confident to start school as they take part in our Ready for School Programme and learn the essential skills for them to take their next steps.

Dedicated Rooms

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.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress - whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.

You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Extra-Curricular Activities

Great Cornard Day Nursery and Preschool offers exciting holiday clubs as well as after-school clubs.

Your little one will have enriched days taking part in our unique Healthy Hearts and Minds programme. A mixture of physical sports and wellbeing activities, these teach children how to look after their whole body.

All-Weather Gardens

Every room has direct access to its own age-appropriate private garden, created using resources to inspire and engage your child. Our garden areas can be used in all weathers.

Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01787320649, our friendly team is here to help.

Parent testimonials taken from daynurseries.co.uk.
  • Parent Testimonial
    "I could not have asked for a more positive experience introducing my baby to nursery! The 5 settling sessions were brilliant in building a relationship between myself/baby and the adults in Panda room. My baby's key worker has been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout the whole process and beyond into her first few months with the nursery."

    "My little boy started here in September at 10 months old. I was so worried about leaving him whilst I was at work but the staff in the baby room are absolutely amazing. The nursery manager and admin team are really helpful and were flexible when booking settling in sessions. They can help with navigating the government funding too."
