Inside the nursery, children are welcomed into a spacious and carefully organised environment that supports learning, comfort and a sense of belonging. The main playroom leads to a range of dedicated spaces, including a messy room, baby room, toddler room, pre-school room and an undercover garden, which provides sheltered access to the outdoor learning areas.

Our baby room offers a calm and nurturing space with age-appropriate equipment and resources. Babies are supported through sensory experiences, songs, stories and responsive care, while following their own individual routines. Bottles and solid foods are prepared on the premises to meet each baby’s specific needs and stage of development.

Older children benefit from a free-flow approach, allowing them to move confidently between learning spaces and choose from a wide range of activities. This supports independence, decision-making and a genuine love of learning as children follow their interests with guidance from experienced practitioners.

A snack station is available throughout the day, offering fresh fruit and vegetables and encouraging healthy eating habits. Children also enjoy a freshly prepared cooked lunch and pudding each day, all home cooked on the premises in a relaxed and sociable environment.

Our outdoor learning environment at The Redbrick Day Nursery, Welford Road, Northampton, is a generous and thoughtfully designed space that plays a vital role in children’s early years education. Children have daily access to the outdoors, where they are encouraged to explore, investigate and learn through hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

Part of the outdoor space is dedicated to a growing area, where children are supported to plant, care for and grow their own food. These experiences help children develop an understanding of nature, responsibility and where food comes from, while nurturing curiosity and a sense of achievement.

The outdoor area includes a natural digging space and mud kitchen, supporting sensory exploration and imaginative play. Features such as the pirate ship and large playhouse encourage role play, storytelling and collaboration, helping children to develop communication skills and confidence.

A separate, secure garden is available for babies and toddlers, designed to support early exploration in a safe and nurturing outdoor environment. Older children benefit from a large construction area that promotes problem-solving, teamwork and physical development.

Sand play is available both indoors and outdoors, offering consistent sensory learning opportunities throughout the year and across all seasons.

Healthy nutrition is an important part of daily life at The Redbrick Day Nursery, Welford Road. Our on-site kitchen is led by a dedicated chef who prepares fresh, balanced meals and snacks each day.

Menus are carefully planned to be nutritious, varied and appealing to young children, and we are able to cater for a range of dietary needs. Mealtimes are calm and sociable, supporting children’s wellbeing and encouraging positive eating habits and independence.

The safety and wellbeing of children is always our highest priority. Our nursery has robust security measures in place to ensure a safe and secure environment for children, families and staff.

All staff are fully trained in paediatric first aid and emergency procedures, and regular safety checks and drills help ensure everyone is well prepared. We work hard to maintain a calm, secure setting where children feel protected and confident to explore.

The Redbrick Day Nursery, Welford Road, is a warm and welcoming early years setting where children are valued, respected and supported to flourish. With a dedicated team, thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor environments and a strong commitment to learning through awe and wonder, we strive to provide high-quality early years education and lay strong foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
