About our

nursery
Our Millway nursery and preschool in Northampton is located within the grounds of Millway Primary School. We pride ourselves on our links within the local community and we often get involved with activities and events throughout the local Northampton area. We have large and spacious dedicated rooms for our toddlers and pre-school. All rooms have direct access to our large garden area.
Our Millway nursery is open 9am-3pm and offers term-time only childcare at no extra cost.
Our children are served seasonal, healthy lunches and snacks daily and we can cater for any dietary requirements as well as support the weaning process for babies.
At our Millway nursery we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, supporting all areas of your child’s development from three months until they are ready to go to school. Our early years practitioners monitor each child’s progress and plan a variety of enrichment experiences to support individual development in all areas of learning.

Our toddler area is specifically tailored for toddlers and young inquisitive minds. We promote independence and teach our toddlers social skills.
