At Paint Pots Nurseries & Pre-Schools, we are proud to make a difference in the lives of children, parents, staff, and the community by providing high-quality childcare and education. We believe in creating a safe, caring, and stimulating environment that is full of love, laughter, and learning. Our network of six nurseries and seven pre-schools is well-known for having an inclusive, loving, and homely environment that is safe, secure, and stimulating.
Our Approach
At Paint Pots, we believe that learning can and should be fun. We strive to ensure that each and every one of the children we care for feel nurtured, supported, and happy to love, learn, and laugh during their time with us as part of our Paint Pots family. Our approach is to provide joy, care, and friendship with a commitment to excellence in educational standards with a broad and inclusive Christian ethos that respects people of all faiths and none.
We understand that minds of all ages need a tailored approach when it comes to learning and developing their skills before starting school. Our highly qualified staff are passionate about childcare and are committed to providing tailored care to meet the individual needs of each child.
