A place to grow

St Mary's Abingdon Day Nursery and Preschool includes purpose-built areas, inside and out, designed with your little ones in mind. You and your little one will feel at ease as we help to make their transition from home to nursery as comfortable as possible. Our families particularly love our exciting outdoors - which includes chalkboards, a climbing frame and vegetable garden.

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 development and progress - whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Inspiring Natural Curiosity and Exploration

Your child will find we offer a great place to learn and thrive. Little ones have freeflow access to the large garden and we encourage independent outdoor exploration. The garden includes balancing tyres, chalkboards, tricycles, a cosy reading nook and, for older children, a climbing frame! They'll also love getting stuck into our vegetable garden and exploring the nature trail which we use to teach the children about seasons, how food is grown and more.

All-Inclusive Care

Nutritionally-balanced meals are prepared by our onsite chef using fresh ingredients and we hold a 5* EHO rating for food safety and hygiene.

We also have a comfortable, quiet sleeping room available for peaceful napping.

Necessities such as wipes, nappies, creams and formula are also provided, so there's less to pack on those busy mornings!

Safety and Convenience

Our onsite parking and buggy park make for an easy and convenient drop and pickup experience.
