Churchfield Nursery operates both term time and all year round making it a flexible provision for all family dynamics. The Nursery operates from as early as 7:30 am and our last session ends at 6:00 pm Monday to Friday. We are of course willing and flexible to support the community and welcome suggestions from parents to ensure our operating hours are suitable for you into the future.

Churchfield Nursery are a play based and child centred Nursery provision, where we ensure your child is supported to reach their full potential and have all the opportunities they need to thrive.
