The Old Forge Children's Day Nursery in Findern, Derby offers a friendly, personal service to create an atmosphere as close to home as possible.

The Old Forge Day Nursery is an attractive nineteenth century half-timbered building which has been specially modernised to provide a safe, secure and friendly environment catering for up to 45 children between the ages of 12 weeks up to 8 years old.

We also offer a special Holiday Club for children up to the age of 8 during school holidays.

Set in beautiful grounds and surrounded by trees with a secure playground and separate paddock for outside play and picnics, it provides a truly idyllic setting for your child to enjoy.

We have a team of hugely enthusiastic and experienced Nursery Nurses who ensure all children receive the best care and attention.

Education is a continuing process, beginning with the development of language skills leading to the ability to read and write. Children are at an age when they need to be encouraged to develop their potential as individuals and social awareness.

We are a lively and busy Nursery. Our activities include a Sports Day, Nativity Play, visits to the Assembly Rooms, The Guildhall, farms, soft play centres.... We have regular theme days, which offer an opportunity for everyone (including staff) to come to nursery in fancy dress, i.e. Santa day, Valentines Day and Green day.

Children in our Nursery are invited to participate in all activities but are encouraged to make their own decisions. Each child is assessed on entry to the Nursery and individual attention is given to build on their strengths.

The Old Forge Day Nursery will assist your child to pursue these objectives in a secure, friendly and stimulating environment.
