Welcome to Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool. At our purpose-built nursery in Chineham, we're dedicated to giving children aged 3 months to 5 years the care and early education they need to give them the best start.
We have two baby rooms to accommodate the range of ages from 3 months to 2 years. We focus on following your little one's home routine as closely as possible, to ensure a smooth transition to nursery life. The children have access to their own garden, as well as a sensory room and a sleeping room for peaceful naps.
Our toddler room is bright and colourful with lots of space for your child to explore. We encourage independence in this room, and activities are planned around the children's individual interests, ensuring no two days are ever the same.
Preschoolers have access to a range of specialist rooms as well as their classroom to give them a wealth of exciting learning opportunities. In preschool, your little learner will learn the skills they need to help them feel confident and prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.
Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.
Your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists.
Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, Bright Beginnings 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.
You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.
To ensure your little learner is confident to start school, our older children take part in our Ready for School programme, which brings structure and focus to maths, reading, writing, and other essential skills they need to get ready for school.
As well as our spacious classrooms, we're proud to offer a rich variety of facilities and specialist rooms to give your child enriched and diverse learning opportunities.
To encourage creativity and imaginative play, we have a construction room, play street, and arts and crafts room. We have a beautiful sensory room and an exciting children's kitchen where your little chef will learn about healthy food choices and take part in experiments and recipe-making.
We're fortunate to have a large garden that is split to give each classroom freeflow access to its own age-specific outdoor space. From water play and construction toys to building blocks and scooters, there is always so much to discover.
Our devoted and long-standing staff are excited to welcome you and your family to Chineham Park Day Nursery and Preschool. Book a personal tour with the nursery today and see everything we have to offer.
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.
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.
