The University Nursery

The Nursery provides wrap-around childcare for staff and students of the University of Warwick with children aged 3 months to 5 years.

We provide high-quality care and education for our pre-schoolers and your child is at the very heart of everything we do.

Our ethos

Our Nursery is a safe and happy place, providing a welcoming environment for children and parents alike.

Relaxed and confident, babies and young children learn about themselves and the world around them. Learning through play with a combination of adult and child led activities, each child learns and develops at their own unique way to the best of their abilities. All children benefit from a regular routine, healthy meals and safe sleep practices.

You as parents and carers can be secure in the knowledge that your child is getting the absolute best in childcare and teaching quality.

Preparation for school

Older children immerse themselves in their learning by frequently making choices about how they wish to spend their time at nursery. They move between the outside and indoor areas. Older children share very strong friendships with their peers and are extremely well prepared for the next stage in their lives, such as starting school.
