About our
Ingol
nursery

Nestled in the heart of Ingol, our nursery is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where children can flourish and grow. With a strong emphasis on healthy eating, our on-site chef prepares delicious and nutritious meals, ensuring that every child receives the fuel they need for their busy day. As a nut-free nursery, we prioritise the safety and well-being of all our children.

In our Baby Room we focus on supporting children’s early development through co-regulation and attachments, ensuring they feel safe and secure with family and well-being at the centre of our care. In the Toddler Room we encourage natural curiosity and risk-taking, allowing children to learn through exploration and develop friendships within their community. Our Pre-school Room prepares children for their transition to primary school by fostering independence and exploring individuality. Through arts and environmental education, children become resilient learners ready for modern-day Britain.

With a range of community activities, including library visits, park outings, and visits to local shops and playgroups, we ensure that children engage with their wider community and develop a sense of belonging.

At Ashbourne Day Nurseries, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, supporting all areas of your child’s development from three months until they are ready for school. Our dedicated early years practitioners monitor each child’s progress and plan a variety of enrichment experiences to support their individual development in all areas of learning.
