Since opening our doors on 27 March 2012, Zig Zag Day Nursery has proudly provided high-quality childcare and early education for babies and children from newborn through to pre-school age, fully Ofsted registered for your peace of mind.

Our mission

Our mission is simple: quality childcare where caring and learning go hand in hand. We believe that when children feel safe, loved and valued, they are free to explore, discover and reach their full potential.

A home-from-home for your little one

Our nursery is bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of every age and stage. From cosy baby areas where infants can snuggle and explore safely, to inspiring toddler and preschool rooms filled with books, role-play corners, creative arts, and hands-on learning zones, every detail is designed to spark curiosity and confidence.

Children enjoy daily outdoor play in our secure garden—gardening, water play, sand exploration and nature hunts—whatever the weather.

We provide regular full-time and part-time nursery places, with flexible sessions to suit busy family life. Parents can choose term-time only or all-year-round places. We also run a holiday club for primary school pupils, full of fun activities during school breaks.

Learning through play, every day

Following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), we create activities that nurture communication and language skills, physical development, early maths, creativity and problem-solving—all through fun, play-based learning. Each child’s interests and abilities are supported with individual learning plans, helping them progress at their own pace.

Flexible funded hours

We know every family’s schedule is different. That’s why funded childcare hours can be booked in the way that works best for you—whether that’s spread across five days, concentrated into three longer days, or arranged as different session lengths each day. Our team will guide you through the options to make the most of your funded entitlement.

Caring, experienced and dedicated staff

Our highly qualified, passionate team create a warm, welcoming environment where every child feels special. We build strong, trusting relationships with families and keep parents closely involved through daily updates, photos and regular progress reviews, so you’re always part of your child’s journey.

Healthy meals and convenient hours

We’re open Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., 51 weeks a year, closing only on public and bank holidays.
• Nutritious, home-cooked meals and snacks are freshly prepared on site, with all dietary needs carefully catered for.
• Funded childcare is available for eligible children from 9 months upwards, with complete flexibility in how those hours are used.

At Zig Zag Day Nursery, we are passionate about providing quality childcare where caring and learning truly go hand in hand—helping every child grow in confidence, curiosity and independence, while giving parents complete peace of mind.

Come and see for yourself! We’d love to welcome you for a visit, show you around our bright, engaging spaces, and introduce you to the team who make Zig Zag a very special place to be.
