Toddlers' University is an OfSTED registered Children's Private Day Nursery situated on the corner of Park Road and Doris Road in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

Our Motto is "First Class Childcare with Honours".

We are located in a beautiful former Chapel, which was converted into a Children's Day Nursery in May 1997. A new first floor was constructed whilst retaining many of the original interesting features such as exposed beams, curved walls and the original shaped windows.

It is our aim at Toddlers' University to provide a superior standard of care and education for all children with a safe, happy, stimulating and varied day providing a number of activities which will help children develop to the best of their ability. These activities include art and craft, construction, stories and imaginative play, music, singing and free-play.

In fact, all members of staff at Toddlers' University are Fully Qualified to NVQ Level 3 or 4 which far exceeds the statutory requirements. The setting also employs a member of staff who has a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and is an Early Years Professional.

Our staffing ratios are designed to offer the best possible attention to children in our care and exceed the Early Years Foundation Stage. They are:

Babies (3 months to 2 years): 1 staff member to 3 babies

Toddlers (2 to 3 years): 1 staff member to 4 toddlers

Pre-School (3+ to 8 years): 1 staff member to between 8 children, except our Early Years Professional who is qualified to care for 13 Pre-School age children.

We offer Free sessions under the government's grant funding scheme. Free sessions are available to all 3 and 4 year old children, as well as certain eligible 2 year olds for 15 hours per week during term time. Please ask us for further details, so we can make the necessary arrangements.

We also run an active Before School Club from 07:30 every weekday morning which comprises breakfast, child care and activities followed by accompanying the children to their local schools.

At the end of the day we run a very popular After School Club where we collect children from the local schools, bring them back to the Nursery and provide an afternoon tea, child care and activities until 6pm.

We offer a full range of meals including Breakfast, Lunch and Tea, which are carefully prepared and cooked on the premises by our experienced cook.

Toddlers' University is a member of the National Day Nurseries Association.
