Our Upton Meadows Nursery

About our Upton Meadows nursery

As an Ofsted Outstanding setting, our Upton Meadows nursery, prides itself on providing the children within our care with engaging and inclusive learning opportunities to allow every child to develop into confident, helpful, and unique individuals.

We thrive on supporting children with developing their self-confidence and independence to help with school readiness.

Based on the site of Upton Meadows Primary School, our Upton Meadows nursery in Northampton, is a term-time only nursery which is ideal for parents who only work during the school term.

Within our childcare setting, we have long-serving members of staff who are all passionate about providing high-quality childcare. All members of our team are first aid trained.

We work closely with Upton Meadows Primary School, Northampton, when our children are ready to leave us and take the next step in their learning journey and join the school.

Rainbow Room

Our childcare setting is unique as we accommodate all of our children within our large rainbow room.

We have dedicated areas within the room for different learning opportunities for the various age ranges, which are tailored to babies , toddlers and pre-school.

Bi-fold doors allow the room to be divided when required.

Our Outside Area

Our outdoor space is used as an extension to the learning environment, by using free flow between the indoors and covered outdoor area. We offer a range of outdoor activities to encourage curiosity and exploration.
