Welcome to our Whitwick Day Nursery and Preschool in Coalville

Kerry
Nursery Manager
Whitwick Day Nursery and Preschool is a friendly, welcoming nursery based in the heart of Whitwick, Coalville. Located within a beautifully converted primary school building that has been recently refurbished, our nursery offers a safe, nurturing environment where children feel happy, secure, and excited to learn.
Our caring and knowledgeable team provides high-quality Early Years childcare for families all year round. We are proud to be an Ofsted registered nursery and to have achieved a ‘Good’ rating in our most recent inspection, reflecting our commitment to children’s wellbeing, development, and learning.
Our location
Our central Market Place location makes Whitwick Day Nursery and Preschool convenient for families in Whitwick, Coalville, and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Our nursery is easily accessed from Market Place Road and is just opposite the cooperative supermarket and Whitwick Carpets. Being part of the local community is important to us, and we regularly encourage children to explore their surroundings through planned outings that help build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.
About Our Nursery
Curriculum
At our nursery, we put the children at the centre of our curriculum, allowing them to follow their current interests; and we plan exciting and engaging learning activities around this to support their development. We have a flexible approach to how we teach our children and use a variety of approaches to help them reach their full potential.
Team
We have a long-standing staff team at our Whitwick Day Nursery and Preschool. Over 50% of the staff are qualified to at least level 3 with the manager holding a BA Honours Degree. Over half of the remaining team are qualified for level 2 and we also have a level 3 qualified SENCo, as well as a qualified and very experienced nursery chef.


Parent Partnership
Building trusting relationships with families is a key part of nursery life at Whitwick. We value open communication and meaningful parent engagement, working closely with families to support each child’s development.
We offer take-home activity cards linked to children’s current interests, a lending library to support learning at home, and a welcoming family room with information on child development, local services, and support.
Our nursery app allows families to stay connected throughout the day with regular photo and video updates, sharing children’s experiences and progress.
Playrooms
Our Whitwick Day Nursery and Preschool features four base playrooms. Our Baby Room caters with a separate area for the babies to sleep peacefully and access to a small outdoor space. Following on, we have our Toddler Room which is a nice spacious room, allowing the children to have plenty of access to a variety of activities and resources throughout the day. We then have our Nursery Room for our older toddlers, which has free-flow access to allow the children to build their skills with toilet training and the freedom to develop independence. Finally, we have our Preschool Room which is designed to develop the children’s independence as they make choices of what resources and activities they would like to use and do.
Garden
We have a large outdoor space with two different sized climbing frames and slides for all children to enjoy, a growing garden and a mud kitchen. Children love our growing garden! They enjoy tending to the plants and produce, and feel immense pride in what they grow.

Activities
From Sing and Sign to our cooking activities, we host a wide variety of activities for all our children to enjoy at our Whitwick Day Nursery & Preschool! Along with Sing & Sign, we hold both Boogie Mites and Mini Mites classes so all our children can dance and sing along to their favourite songs. We also focus on key educational programmes such as a Make & Bake where children learn how to cook and bake age-appropriate meals from scratch.
Community Outings
Alongside activities, we also try and incorporate regular community outings into children’s days. These are a great method for building connections with the local community, fostering a love for the outdoors and building confidence within the children.
