As parents ourselves, we have high expectations when it comes to professional childcare.  This is reflected in the attention to detail we have taken in developing and nurturing Watermead Day Nursery from its conception over 14 years ago, into an Ofsted OUTSTANDING setting, and something feedback confirms. 

Watermead offers unquestionably the best childcare for babies (0 Years) through to pre-school (5 years) to the residents of Loughborough and beyond.  It is also  the only setting in the region inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy of childcare.  Key to this philosophy is the understanding of the important roles imagination and discovery play in early childhood learning.

​

Watermead offers a secure, safe environment, across two adjacent settings situated on a quiet residential street.  Both settings are protected by CCTV in every room and access to both sites is restricted by a bio-metric finger print entry system – The only one employed by a nursery within the region.

​

Children in our care can develop skills and experience activities that will have a direct impact on their future.  They can experience the great outdoors through our Forest School, learn to play sports with our resident physical education coach, be stimulated in Kimble’s Music and Movement classes and even develop their artistic skills through use of one of our two dedicated ateliers (art rooms).  Everything we do is there to provide a stimulus rich environment where little minds can grow and we are constantly introducing and developing new ways of doing this based on feedback from the curriculum, parents and the children too.

​

Parental input is a particularly big focus for us. Over the years this has helped to shape the nursery and the care provided through regular parental sessions and community involvement.  After all, a parent has the best idea of how to care for their children, and we want to make the child’s experience as enjoyable, and memorable, as possible whilst with us – like it would be at home.
