Welcome to Sandpit Nursery
Welcome to The Sandpit Nursery! Quality childcare is at the heart of everything we do. We know that choosing the right nursery for your child is both exciting and a big decision - and we're here to make it an easy one! We want to give your child the very best start in life. As parents and carers, you deserve to feel confident and happy that your little one is cared for exactly as you'd want - to the highest standards, in wonderful surroundings, by staff who genuinely care and are brilliantly trained. Your child is in safe hands with us. Our approach is built on some simple but powerful beliefs: all children learn through play, and learning should always be fun! We don't get hung up on perfect end results - it's the having a go and trying that really matters. Children learn best by doing, through real experiences, and by having fantastic role models around them. We'd love you to come and visit us - let us show you and your child around and see for yourself what makes The Sandpit so special!
Under 3 months? We may be able to help! Children younger than 3 months can be accepted on a case-by-case basis — book a tour and we can discuss your needs.

The passionate people who make Sandpit Nursery a wonderful place for children to learn, play, and grow.
Laura
Plot twist - Sandpit has borrowed one of the best! Laura joins us as Interim Nursery Manager, fresh from her legendary reign at Mazehill where she started as a 16-year-old student and worked her way through literally every room and role going. She's basically a walking encyclopaedia of early years excellence, with the energy of a cheerleader (because she actually was one!) and the detective skills of someone who's watched far too many crime documentaries. Laura's on a mission to make Sandpit just as magical - creating the kind of nurturing environment where little ones don't just learn, they absolutely flourish. Fair warning though: she's also a notorious practical joker, so if your shoelaces are suddenly tied together... you'll know who to blame!
