FLEXIBLE AND AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE FOR BABIES AND CHILDREN 3 MONTH TO 11 YEARS

Hi, we are a small family run Day Nursery, having been in this sector for over 30 years, we have worked hard to establish a good reputation, and through this and constant recommendation from parents the demand for places grew so we have now decided to open a larger setting, working hard to keep that homely environment as much as possible but being able to give the children much more space to play, learn, be happy and to be safe and above all have fun.

We have a large secure outside play area, children can access this at any time with full supervision at all times.

Providing quality care at every stage, all children are cared for as individuals with all cultural and diversity needs being fully respected, we are fully committed to providing a care plan tailored to suit every individual child’s needs.

Every member of our team has experience of working with children of all ages each holding childcare qualifications, see below plus many more.
All staff are paediatric first aid trained.
All staff are trained in safeguarding.
All staff are trained in food hygiene.
All baby room room staff have undergone specialised baby care training.
All staff hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
All staff that drive a nursery vehicle hold a clean driving licence.

We also have a sister company Crocodile Rock Day Care situated on Newgate Lane, Mansfield

Funded hours can be used either:
Term time, 38 week of the year
Spread over the whole year, 51 week (closed 1 week between Christmas and new year & bank holidays)

Returning to work:

Many parents who use a nursery for the first time are making the decision to return to work. At Aunty Sue’s we recognise how hard this can be and we will help and support you and your child throughout their time spent with us
When it comes to providing the highest quality day care we believe that working closely with parents makes life easier for you and your child
