We are an Outstanding, private children's day nursery, caring for children from birth to Preschool, based in the heart of Altrincham's town centre. We employ a fantastic team of staff, many of whom have been with the nursery since it first opened, or shortly thereafter, and have been Ofsted 'Outstanding' since 2013.
Organised across 5 spacious and airy rooms, occupying what was formerly part of Altrincham's impressive Town Hall, each of our rooms is carefully designed to create a warm, welcoming and inspiring environment, mindfully tailored to suit the specific age and stage of the children within. We love our nursery and the work that we do, however do appreciate that we are more than a little biased!

Here at Juice Nursery we use eyLog to record observations and assess each child's individual learning and development journey.
For those not in the know, eyLog is the most comprehensive tablet PC and web-based solution for nurseries and childcare providers, and has helped to transform the process of recording observations, assessing a child's progress and planning activities, by significantly reducing the time practitioners spend on capturing/maintaining observations and managing the learning journey of their Key children manually; enabling them instead to focus more fully on interacting with, and supporting the children in our care, providing them with the best early years education.

Juice were delighted to be one of the 44 recipients in the 2019 Princess Royal Training Awards, and the ONLY small company in the whole of the UK to receive an award! This was in recognition of training completed by staff as part of their implementation of the Mini Me Yoga & Mindfulness programme throughout the setting.

Juice are an excellent childcare provider. The staff are both friendly and caring, taking everything in their stride. Even when we moved house, we kept both our children at Juice as we knew we couldn't find anywhere as good, where the children would be happy and nurtured.
One of our girls has additional needs and Juice were incredibly supportive. I was able to return to work, knowing her needs were being met.

Absolutely love Juice Nursery! My little one started there at age 2 a nervous little thing who would barely eat when she wasn't at home and was reluctant to join in with group activities. With patience and care from the lovely staff at Juice, my daughter is now super confident. She joins in with p.e and yoga. She also started there with a dairy allergy which thankfully she has now grown out of. Juice have been excellent at ensuring she always has something on the menu and have worked with me along the milk ladder to help my little one now move off the dairy free diet. Most of all I really like

Our son attended this nursery from 11 months old until we moved out of the area a few months before his 4th birthday.
What initially attracted us to Juice was the lovely bright big rooms, the friendly welcome on the tour and that it looked and smelled very clean!
Our son very quickly settled in and looked forward to going which made getting ready and drop off much easier. All the staff are very friendly and seem happy to work there, I think that reflects well on the management team and creates a lovely atmosphere in all the rooms.
Food was good & varied, the rooms are well stocked with toys

Fantastic nursery, where your child will feel as much as at home, be educated and taken care off by highly qualified and child focused staff. More to say, key workers are friendly, warm, passionate and always have time to reasure or feedback parents. Facilities are safe and clean, food is homemade and varies with diet requirements. I found my son developing his skills through at a time planned activities. He loves sensory exploration, natural resources, variety of educational toys. We are so happy with him going on Muddy Mornings, trips or doing MiniMe Yoga and PE classes! I'm sure Juie has already

My daughter started at Juice when she was 16 months old. I felt instantly comfortable with her key worker, who put my mind at ease by posting photos on the nursery app and updating me on sleep times and how she had eaten etc. The staff are extremely warm, friendly and it feels like a home from home. The nursery is in a perfect location with ample parking and buggy storage. They have so many activities and go on regular outings to surrounding parks, library etc. My daughter’s vocabulary and confidence really increased after joining the nursery. I highly recommend.

Both my children have gone to Juice. My daughter started there in 2014, and left to start school in 2018. My son started there in 2017, and is due to start school this September.
Both children have always been extremely happy at Juice. The staff have been wonderful and formed a great relationship with the children.
When my daughter started school it was clear how well Juice had done at preparing her for it.
I have never had any issues whatsoever with any aspect of Juice, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any parent.

My Son has attended Juice since he was 9 months old. we looked at pretty much every nursery in the area before deciding on this one and it has been an excellent decision. He doesn’t attend full time but even so he settled really quickly and he is always very happy when we drop him off and pick him up. The nursery is big but has a real family feel. He comes home having done music classes, painting, water play, stretch and grow, out on walks etc. .Their garden is small but it doesn’t matter because they are always doing activities. we recommend highly!

Both of my boys are at Juice and it is a happy, caring and warm environment and they really enjoy coming to nursery. My eldest boy has some special needs and they have been fantastically supportive with this. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
It is true that parking is sometimes an issue but as a previous reviewer has said it is difficult to see what the nursery can realistically do about the small minority of parents who do not park considerately. Most of the time parking is fine and I can honestly say I have not had any serious problem in four years of parking there twice a day (not using

We moved our youngest child to Juice after his previous nursery was shut down. He absolutely loves it at Juice and I am so pleased at how well he has settled in.
The staff are friendly, enthusiastic, and really care about the welfare of my son. The nursery also clearly puts a lot of time and effort into organising activities and trips for the children and ensure that they are always doing something new (and learning about things at the same time).
I would wholeheartedly recommend Juice.
