Your Child’s Journey
Every child’s journey through Loughborough Nursery is unique, but what remains constant is the care, support and encouragement they receive along the way. As part of the Loughborough Schools Foundation, we offer a nurturing start to early years education, helping each child build confidence, independence and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
Our rooms are carefully designed to reflect your child’s stage of development, with experienced staff guiding them every step of the way. From those first days as a baby through to their final year before school, we create a seamless journey of discovery, learning and joy.
“Staff recognise the importance of encouraging children to develop a sense of responsibility and independence.”

Developers 6 Weeks to 15 Months
Our Developers Room helps make the transition from home to nursery a gentle and positive one. Here, our youngest children begin to explore the world through sensory play and movement. Our team focuses on building independence and curiosity with toys and activities always at the child’s level so they can choose what to play with. It’s a calm, caring space where every baby’s routine is respected, and early confidence starts to grow.
