About Our Nursery
Our Daventry nursery is set within the grounds of Danetre Hospital, offering a convenient and welcoming environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. With thoughtfully designed spaces for each age group, we focus on supporting every child’s development, wellbeing, and confidence as they progress through their early years.
Fantastic Outdoor Space
Our recently refurbished garden provides a safe and stimulating environment where children can run, play, and develop their physical skills. Through our Sow & Grow programme, children take part in the full gardening cycle—from planting seeds to harvesting produce—which is then used in fun activities such as baking. The secure, well-equipped outdoor space encourages creativity, teamwork, and a strong connection to the natural world.
