An Outstanding Nursery in Brentwood

Welcome to Phoenix Day Nursery and Preschool set in a green and tranquil environment. At our Ofsted Outstanding nursery in Brentwood, we provide the very best care and education for children from 3 months to 5 years.

Excellent Resources and Rooms

Based in a beautiful character building, our nursery provides a stimulating and nurturing environment that your child will love. Each of our rooms are fully furnished with age-appropriate resources and activities to support your child’s development.

We also have a brilliant soft play area, separate sleep room, sensory and tranquility room, ICT suite, outdoor classroom and art studio.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

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.

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.

Our large free-flow garden provides endless learning opportunities and fun for your little one. The garden is landscaped with astroturf and plenty of sheltered areas, so it can be enjoyed come rain or shine. We also have a forest school area and allotment to learn how things grow. There are play trays and a sandpit, trikes and a racing track, and so much more, all surrounded by trees and nature.

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 01277289435, our friendly team is here to help.
