About our
Sandbach
nursery
Housed within a magnificent Victorian farmhouse dating back to the 1860s, our nursery offers a rich and historic setting for children to explore and learn. Spread across two floors, our spacious facility includes dedicated rooms for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
One of our standout features is our expansive garden area, which comprises four separate spaces tailored to each age group, as well as a physical garden space for outdoor activities and exploration. With ample room to play and discover, children can engage with nature and develop essential skills in a safe and nurturing environment.
Situated near the charming town of Sandbach, our nursery reflects the vibrancy and community spirit of its surroundings. Conveniently located near Junction 17 of the M6, we provide easy access for families from across the region.
At Ashbourne Day Nurseries, we believe in the importance of providing nutritious meals to support children’s growth and development. Our on-site chef prepares seasonal, healthy lunches and snacks daily, and we are equipped to cater to any dietary requirements, including support for the weaning process for babies.
Following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, our dedicated team of early years practitioners are committed to supporting every aspect of your child’s development. From three months until they are ready for school, we monitor their progress closely and plan a variety of enrichment experiences to ensure they reach their full potential across all areas of learning.
