The Secret Garden Attenborough Pre School

Overview

The Secret Garden Attenborough Day Nursery and Pre-School

We are a family run nursery and pre-school who believe in offering you outstanding care for your child. Our focus is on each child's interests, encouraging every child to learn by exploring and expanding their own imagination, using as much outdoor and natural play as possible, while doing our bit to help the environment too.

Our nursery cares for children aged 0-5 years and is set across 2 sites in the peaceful and natural setting of Attenborough, near Beeston, just a few minutes off Queens Road / Bye-Pass Road. Attenborough nature reserve is on our doorstep, where our pre-school children attend weekly forest school sessions in term time, and allowing us to make the most of our local environment, for regular walks and outdoor exploring.

We are experienced childcare providers with long-standing and well-qualified staff.
