Uniqueness of St Nick's Nursery

 

St Nick’s Nursery is based in St Leonards-on-Sea on the FSN charity site. We are just a three-minute walk from the train station and are well served by local bus routes, making us easy to reach for families using public transport.

St Nick’s Nursery offers 42 places for children aged 3 months to 5 years, with all-year-round childcare. Children have access to a wide range of outdoor spaces, including an upstairs decking area and a large downstairs garden with plenty of room for physical activity. The garden also includes a mud kitchen for role play, a covered sensory play and art area, and a small wooded area for forest-school learning.

Our separate baby room has direct access to an outside decking area, with views over the larger downstairs garden and wooded area. The space for children aged 2 to 5 is divided into cosy, homelike areas where children can eat, relax, play with others, or spend time on their own. This gives children, including those who are neurodiverse, a choice of spaces that suit their individual needs. A shared playroom also offers opportunities for social play, with access to both the decking area and the downstairs garden.

On the ground floor, there is also a classroom and smaller quiet room for children who sometimes prefer time away from the larger group. These spaces also support children who learn best in smaller groups. The classroom opens directly onto the large garden.

The building is fully accessible, with both stairs and a lift available.
