Housed in a Grade II listed building at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, Children 1st Chesterfield Nursery School combines heritage charm with modern learning. This nature-inspired nursery welcomes children aged four months to five years, offering a choice of business-day and nursery-day sessions. Outside, your child can explore a landscaped garden featuring a teepee, vegetable patch, sensory area, apple trees, mud kitchen and outdoor classrooms, all designed to promote exploration in every season. Indoors, tailored spaces for babies, toddlers and preschoolers use natural resources to create a cosy, home-from-home feel. Manager Katie Macnamara leads a dedicated team who follow the Early Years Foundation Stage while incorporating forest-school principles and creative activities such as funky feet sessions, baby ballet and supervised swimming trips. Fresh, home-cooked meals are prepared daily, and strong partnerships with families ensure a supportive, nurturing experience.
