Welcome to Elm Grove Day Nursery and Preschool. We focus on providing children aged 3 months to 5 years with the very best care and education, understanding that these early years are crucial for building a strong foundation for lifelong learning and growth. Our team takes great joy in helping children grow into independent and confident individuals, while also delivering outstanding service to families.
In our nursery we have five age specific rooms all tailored to suit the needs of the age group. Our babies love their bright and cosy room. Here we have a sleep area, milk kitchen, changing area, dedicated garden, a separate area for non-mobile babies and lots of exciting sensory resources and toys.
Your toddler can have fun exploring our bright and spacious toddler rooms, where activities are planned around the children's individual interests, helping them reach their milestones.
The Preschool Room for 32 months to 5 years provides fun and exciting structured activities as well as encouraging children to ask questions, independently explore and develop skills ready for school and beyond.
Across all our age-focused rooms, we offer an exceptional start to schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's wellbeing, development, and progress, whether that involves transitioning between rooms or preparing for school.
In addition, we offer Boogie Mites an interactive music and movement session, which is loved by children of all ages and provides exciting opportunities to learn about the world through music and song.
Your child will be supported to discover their interests in our specialist rooms. These include a children's kitchen where your child will learn about healthy food choices and a multipurpose art room. Within these rooms your child can also take part in our cooking and art clubs to enrich their nursery experience.
Moving outside our garden and outdoor spaces are exciting places to explore and make new discoveries. Your child can practise their fine motor skills on the bike track and play with their friends throughout all seasons.
Whilst your child is busy exploring and having fun, we can keep you updated via our Family app. Available for all Bright Horizons parents, this will keep you connected with your child's day-to-day experiences and up to date as they develop during their time with us.
We also offer Settling in Sessions tailored to suit you and your family. Please ask our nursery manager for more information.

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.
