Welcome to Eddington Day Nursery and Preschool, where we offer high-quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years. While our nursery in Cambridge largely cares for the children of students and staff attending the University of Cambridge, we also welcome all families in the area.
Your child will love our four bright and colourful rooms, which have been decorated and tailored to support and inspire each of our age groups.
The spacious classrooms are filled with beautiful wooden resources, including toys, indoor climbing equipment, furniture and role-play activities. We also have a cosy sleeping room for our younger children, so they can enjoy peaceful naps in a calm environment.
Your little one deserves the best start in life, and our Nurture Approach delivers just that. Designed by Early Years specialists, it focuses on wellbeing and holistic development to help every child thrive.
Building on the foundations of the government’s EYFS framework, The Nurture Approach combines creative, engaging activities that develop essential skills and confidence. This personalised approach supports each child’s progress—whether they’re moving rooms or preparing for school.
Stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family app, where you can follow your child’s day and milestones.
Our Ready for School programme helps older children build strong foundations in reading, writing, maths, and other key skills—ensuring they feel confident and excited for their next big step.
Our garden courtyard offers a wealth of fun and exciting learning opportunities in the fresh air. With plenty of covered areas, our outdoor space can be enjoyed whatever the weather.
Each room benefits from freeflow access to the garden, allowing your child to enjoy the fresh air and range of resources whenever they want. As well as a variety of tailored toys and activities, we also have a lovely nature trail, which is perfect for exploring the magic of nature and going on a mini beast hunt.
