We are delighted to introduce you to Bright Beginnings Nursery Ltd. Our nursery is located in Denvilles, Havant and was officially opened by the Mayoress of Havant on 29 August 2009.

We are a family business, and Tracey has been a Primary School Teacher since 1998. We have three children; Nicholas, Harriet and Luke, and are very much aware of the delicate balance between work and family life, so the Nursery is here to help.

At the nursery we strive to support children’s development so that they may grow to be strong, independent individuals based on loving and secure relationships. The children in our care are all valued as individuals and each is an important member of Bright Beginnings Nursery. We provide a family atmosphere where they can learn through play in a safe, fun and caring environment.

The nursery is approved and registered by OFSTED meeting all the required standards. We are able to offer daily places for 40 children from 3 months until they start school.

The Baby Unit known as “Butterfly Wood” is for children between 3 months – 2 years and six months. The nursery is equipped with a dedicated nursery room for babies and toddlers with the benefit of a soundproof sleep room. This room is equipped with a Webcam monitoring system and, in addition, babies are checked every 10 minutes by a member of staff. There are also quiet areas where the children can rest comfortably undisturbed yet closely monitored.

We have a separate Pre-School Room known as “Badger Wood” for children from 2 years and six months to school age.

The nursery also provides freshly cooked food from our kitchen prepared on a daily basis by the Nursery Cook.

The nursery is surrounded by a large garden which is completely enclosed with fencing providing a safe
area for children to play in. There is a giant sand pit, a meadow trail, a vegetable patch, large attractive trees for shade with seating, a range of outdoor toys including painting, water play and numerous activities that are sometimes associated more with the indoors e.g. home corner, dressing up and even a reading area complete with log seats.

Entrance to the nursery is via a long driveway with extensive parking for parents directly in front of the building. There is also 10 designated cycle/buggy parking spaces.
