Welcome to Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery

Nursery Rhymes Day Nursery in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, is privately owned by three partners who have been working in childcare for over twenty-five years and have daily involvement in the Nursery.

We are situated approximately three miles north of Chesterfield town centre, on Sheffield Road just off the main A61 Dronfield by-pass. Please phone 01246 450354 if you require directions.

The Nursery is registered with Ofsted for forty-five children and provides first class care for children aged three months to five years.

Learning through play is our philosophy and we work towards the Early Learning Goals in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

The children are based in small groups according to age and development. A key worker is based in each room to provide continuity and stability.

The Nursery has ample outdoor natural and artificial play areas for all weathers with a soft secure covered play area for those wet winter days.

We provide home cooked food with a balanced diet which is nutritionally assessed to provide the correct balance of food for the children.

All parents are encouraged to visit the Nursery and discuss your requirements with our highly qualified staff before making any decisions on the appropriate setting for your child.

The Nursery Manager is Samantha Carney who will be pleased to help with any queries you may have.
