Day Nursery Hellifield
Chipmonks is on the campus of Hellifield Primary School with its own entrance. There is a large outdoor space, safely fenced off to allow for lots of play in the fresh air.
We provide places for children aged 3 months – 5 years.
The nursery is split into 3 rooms all of whom enjoy daily access to our large enclosed garden area.
We have been awarded communication friendly setting status which means we put language and communication development at the heart of our practice ensuring children have free access to a wide variety of books, daily singing sessions and support from knowledgeable practitioners.
