Newark Town Nursery

What makes us magical at Children 1st @ Newark Town?

Our beautiful Georgian house right in the centre of town and the fact parents rate us 10/10 on DayNurseries.co.uk.

We are also proud of our close links with our sister nursery in Newark – Children 1st @ Newark. The nursery is also judged to be “Outstanding In All Areas” by Ofsted and is located on the Great North Road near to the A46, perfect for parents commuting to Lincoln, Nottingham and into Newark. Please click HERE to find out more about the nursery.

Children 1st @ Newark Town is ideally situated right in the middle of Newark town and has wonderful views of the church. The children and staff often take advantage of this and ensure that Christmas, Harvest Festival and other times of the year are celebrated with those in the local community.

The nursery is so proud of its roots in Newark that the children requested a replica of the castle in their new early years’ suite – and who were we to disagree! The children love nothing more than exploring the castle area, dressing as knights, princes or princesses and rescuing those in distress! The children also love taking their role play into the spacious garden where they continue their play on top of the slide fort or whilst hiding in and out of the trees.

We have also developed an amazing ‘outdoor classroom’ that allows our children to flow from the indoors to the outdoors taking their learning in any direction they choose.

Our youngest children get to join in the fun with a specialist baby room for our tiniest tots and a wonderful space for the toddlers where they can ‘splash’ about in their ball pool area. When the need for fresh air takes them, our little ones also enjoy time in their designated outdoor area.

At Newark Town we are very proud of our nursery and hope that you will join us to find out what we think makes us so special.
