A nursery built on warmth, trust and tiny, wow moments.
Bookworms Daycare opened with one belief: every child deserves a space that feels like a second home — safe, loved and gently challenged.
Our story
At Bookworms Daycare, our aim is simple; for every child to feel safe, happy, confident, and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors.
We understand how important these early years are, not only for children, but for parents too. As a family-led nursery, we are committed to creating a warm, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, explore, and thrive whilst giving parents complete peace of mind that their child is in safe and caring hands.
We believe children learn best through play, creativity, exploration, and meaningful relationships. Every day at Bookworms is designed to support children’s confidence, independence, communication, and emotional wellbeing through a balance of structured learning and fun, hands-on experiences.
From messy play and outdoor activities to stories, sensory experiences, creative learning, and social development, we provide children with opportunities to discover the world around them in a safe and engaging environment.
Our experienced team works closely with families to support each child’s individual development, helping them build the skills, confidence, and curiosity they need for their next steps into school and beyond.
To provide a safe, nurturing and educational environment where every child can flourish.
What guides us every day.
Safety first
Rigorous safeguarding, secure premises and strict ratios.
Respect & kindness
Every child is heard, valued and celebrated for who they are.
Learning through play
Curiosity-led activities that grow confident, capable little learners.
Meet the people caring for your child.
All staff are DBS-checked, paediatric first-aid trained and hold relevant early years qualifications.
