Welcome to Nurture Childcare

Choosing the right environment for your preschooler’s early development is a significant decision. At Nurture Childcare, located just steps from the University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, we provide an exclusive Montessori environment tailored for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. Our aim is to stimulate curiosity and foster independence during these formative years.

The Inventors Room: Fostering Independence and Practical Skills

Our Inventors room is thoughtfully designed for children aged 36 months and older. This space nurtures independence and practical life skills, providing a foundation for confident future learning. The environment is equipped with Montessori materials that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Experienced and Caring Educators

Our team of dedicated educators is trained in the Montessori philosophy and understands the unique needs of preschool-aged children. They provide personalised attention, ensuring that each child’s individual learning style and interests are respected. By fostering a trusting relationship, our staff creates a secure base from which your child can confidently explore their surroundings.

Holistic Development Through Practical Life Activities

In the Montessori approach, preschoolers engage in practical life activities that are familiar to them, such as washing hands or setting a table. These tasks help develop motor control, coordination, concentration, independence, and a sense of order. By incorporating these activities into daily routines, we support your child’s holistic development.

Sensory Exploration: Building Understanding of the World

Our Inventors room includes materials that help children differentiate size, shape, colour, sound, texture, and weight. These sensory activities are designed to refine their senses and enhance their understanding of the world around them. Through hands-on exploration, children develop cognitive skills and build a foundation for future learning.

Academic Preparation: Laying the Groundwork for Future Success

The Montessori curriculum for preschoolers includes areas such as mathematics, language arts, cultural studies, science, and peace education. These subjects are interwoven to provide a comprehensive understanding of the world, encouraging children to learn independently and at their own pace.

Physical Development: Encouraging Movement and Coordination

Physical activity is integral to the Montessori method. For our preschoolers, this includes activities that promote fine and gross motor skill development. Our safe and spacious environment allows children to move freely, encouraging them to reach developmental milestones at their own pace.

Free Weekly Swimming Lessons: Building Confidence in the Water

At Nurture Childcare, we are dedicated to providing a well-rounded learning experience for every child. As part of our commitment to holistic child development, we offer free swimming lessons to all enrolled children. These lessons are designed to build water confidence, enhance coordination, and develop essential motor skills in a safe and supportive environment. Guided by trained instructors, our swimming sessions ensure that children gain valuable life skills while having fun and feeling comfortable in the water. This enriching experience helps foster a sense of independence and physical well-being, preparing them for future adventures.

Parent Partnership: Collaborating for Your Child’s Success

We believe that a strong partnership between parents and our nursery is essential for your child’s development. Regular communication ensures that we are aligned with your child’s routines and developmental milestones. We provide daily updates and encourage parents to share insights about their child’s progress, creating a cohesive approach to care and learning.

Flexible Scheduling to Suit Your Family’s Needs

Understanding that every family has unique scheduling requirements, we offer flexible sessions. Our nursery operates Monday to Friday from 6:45 AM to 7:15 PM, providing a range of options to accommodate your needs. Whether you require full-day care or part-time sessions, we strive to provide arrangements that work best for you and your child.
