Welcome to St Aidan's Day Nursery - A childcare facility for children from birth to eight years old. Our nursery is situated in the old St Aidan's Church Hall, and over the years this has been an integral part of the local community. Through providing a childcare service aimed at the family not only the child we hope to restore that same feeling of community within the St Aidan's Day Nursery.
Our motivation for the opening of this nursery is to be in a position to provide a positive experience for each and every child, and their families during their time with us. If you require any more information about St Aidan's please get in touch by calling 01302 340 412, or send us a message.

Our focus is learning through play, constructing knowledge through doing and discussing their ideas. To make this possible staff provide extensive resources, and opportunities to challenge and expand children's existing knowledge identified through observations. The nursery routine provides lots of opportunities to introduce and reiterate, counting, colour and shape, name recognition, an awareness of letter and sound, manners, taking turns e.t.c.
