Fun Learning For Your Child.

Welcome to Paddocks Nursery & Pre-School.

Welcoming Your Children.

We believe that all children are capable and competent learners from birth and we recognise the role we play in creating an environment where interaction opportunity and resources support a child’s exploration, investigation and subsequent development.
The nursery is open from 8am until 6pm Monday-Friday 50 weeks of the year. We aim to accommodate your needs within our flexible nursery sessions.
If you would like to find out more please contact us for a tour of the nursery and pick up a Nursery prospectus. This will provide you with more information about our everyday practice.

Our Values/Visions
At The Paddocks Nursery and Pre-School we are proud of the positive and nurturing environment we provide.
