About our
Little Lever
nursery
Situated at the heart of Little Lever on the corner of Fletcher Street, our nursery is a vibrant hub for early childhood education and development. Housed in a charming two-storey building, we boast a spacious environment with a large garden area, perfect for fostering exploration and outdoor play.
Catering to the needs of families with children aged from 3 months to 4 years old, our 55-place nursery offers a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive. With easy accessibility and excellent transport links nearby, parents can rest assured their little ones are in safe hands.
Our facilities are designed to spark imagination and curiosity. From our physical climbing and soft play room to our drama room, every corner of our nursery is crafted to inspire learning and creativity. Outside, our expansive play area provides ample space for children to explore, play, and develop essential skills.
At Ashbourne Day Nurseries, we prioritise nutrition and well-being. Our seasonal, healthy lunches and snacks are carefully prepared to fuel your child’s day. We understand the importance of catering to individual dietary requirements and supporting the weaning process for babies.
Dedicated to following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, our experienced early years practitioners are committed to nurturing every aspect of your child’s development. Through personalised monitoring and enriching experiences, we ensure each child reaches their full potential across all areas of learning.
