About Nursery

Our Clayhall nursery is a friendly, cozy setting for children aged 18 months to 5 years. With a single shared room, children can make friends, explore together, and develop independence at their own pace. The nursery also has a large garden, giving little ones plenty of space to enjoy learning and play outdoors every day.

Tucked into Clayhall Park, a mature and beautifully landscaped Green Flag–accredited space, the nursery is perfectly placed for families in Ilford and the surrounding area. Our nursery offers a warm and personal environment for families seeking trusted childcare in Ilford, Clayhall, Newbury Park, Barkingside, Gants Hill, South Woodford or Seven Kings areas.

OUR ROOMS

Toddler + Preschool

Our shared room brings all children together in a vibrant, flexible space where curiosity and independence thrive. Different activity zones encourage creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning, while quiet corners allow children to rest, reflect, or enjoy a story. Being in a shared space helps children build friendships, practice social skills, and develop confidence as they explore and learn alongside their peers, all within a warm and supportive environment.

Sensory Room

The sensory room has been specifically designed to support babies, toddlers, and preschool children, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). It offers a range of sensory experiences, including various textures, sounds, and visuals, alongside lots of different lights that create a stimulating and calming environment. This space encourages sensory exploration, emotional regulation, and development through play, providing a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive.

Outdoors

Our garden at Clayhall is a lively space where children can be active, curious, and imaginative every day. With areas for running, climbing, balancing, and creative play, as well as a mud kitchen, sand and water stations, the garden encourages children to explore and experiment in a safe environment. Free-flow access between the indoor shared room and outdoor space allows children to choose how they learn and play, fostering independence, confidence, and a love for the outdoors.
