Where your child’s journey begins
Little Edenhurst (formerly Edenhurst Nursery) is the only fully integrated Preparatory School nursery in Newcastle-under-Lyme, welcoming children from just 3 months to 4 years.
Unlike a standalone nursery, Little Edenhurst is part of Edenhurst Preparatory School, offering a seamless educational journey from your child’s very first days through to Prep 6.
Outstanding Quality Care
We’re proud to have received an Outstanding rating in our latest Early Years ISI inspection (October 2021) – our third consecutive Outstanding rating – reflecting our commitment to providing the highest quality care in a safe, engaging and nurturing environment.
Every Child, Their Own Path
We believe in stage-not-age learning, reflected in how our five nursery rooms are thoughtfully organised around your child’s development, not just their birthday.
Our Nursery Rooms:
- Edenhurst Babies (from 3 months to approximately 18 months)
- Edenhurst Toddlers (from approximately 18 months to 2 years)
- Edenhurst Explorers (from approximately 2 years to 3 years)
- Edenhurst Little Learners (from approximately 2 years 8 months to 3 years)
- Edenhurst Kindergarten (from approximately 3 years to 4 years)
Each purpose-designed room provides spacious play areas and dedicated dining spaces, carefully designed to create an effective and engaging learning environment. Our qualified, friendly staff are dedicated to providing each child with all the support and encouragement they need to learn and grow, including a dedicated SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator).
Food and Nutrition
Our children enjoy nutritionally balanced, home-cooked food, made fresh on-site daily by our Nursery Cook, Michelle. View our Nursery menus.
Beyond the Everyday Nursery
Most nurseries offer the basics. We offer something exceptional, including Music lessons with our dedicated music teacher, PE sessions led by our sports specialist, Language exposure and Creative arts.
Our teaching in Nursery follows the same approach to Phonics, cursive writing, Maths and English as our Prep School, overseen by subject specialists. Children also enjoy outdoor learning, with plenty of opportunities for social skills development through play. Our curriculum doesn’t just prepare children for school – it prepares them for life.
Support for Working Families
We understand the juggling act of modern family life. That’s why Little Edenhurst is designed with working parents in mind. We offer extended hours from 7:30am to 6:00pm daily and year-round care (closed only Christmas week).
A Personal Approach
Our staff work in partnership with parents to welcome children into our happy environment, with ample opportunity to discuss your child’s needs and ensure continuity of care between home and nursery. At Edenhurst, every child is known, valued, and supported. From our Baby Room to Prep 6, your child grows with us in a warm and welcoming community.
