Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool

"My son is always happy to come to nursery and loves all the staff and his friends. He is increasingly confident, chatty and independent. Really growing into his own - the amount of activities and learning topics they cover are brilliant! The food is varied and delicious too."

An Exciting and Enriching Nursery in Highams Park

Welcome to Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool, where our dedicated practitioners provide the best early learning and care for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Inspiring Rooms to Learn and Play

In our calming baby room, little ones up to 18 months spend happy days exploring sensory toys and the different areas of the room. We follow your child's routine as closely as possible, to try and make the transition to nursery life smooth and easy.

We also have our own baby garden, which is separate from the rest of the garden space.

Our toddler room is spacious and bright with lots of room for your child to make new discoveries and start to gain independence.

Preschool is where children aged 2.5 to 5 years take their next steps towards getting prepared for school. Activities are planned around children's individual interests, as well as our unique Growing Programmes. Preschoolers also have access to our ICT suite, to start learning key computing skills.

Enriching Learning Programmes

At Highams Park Day Nursery and Preschool, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through enriching learning experiences thanks to our Growing Enhancement programmes. This unique programme introduces your child to essential key skills in subjects including maths, reading, writing, science, art, IT, sports, and more

You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Getting Ready for Their Next Steps

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.

Fee Calculator

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.

Estimate your fees

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.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 02037803062, our friendly team is here to help.
