Whetstone Day Nursery and Preschool is a well-resourced and purpose-built nursery carefully designed to support each child's education and development, from 3 months to 5 years.
The nursery offers a warm, cosy environment, with each age-appropriate room stocked with play and learning resources to engage every child's natural curiosity. A glass wall separates the two-to-three-year-old room from the preschooler room, helping children transition smoothly into preschool. Both under-two rooms have plenty of natural light, and the baby room has a relaxing, homely feel.
The atmosphere is one of fun and active play, and the staff use the children’s interests to plan stimulating activities that challenge their growing independence, confidence, and understanding. Children especially love the rooftop terrace garden where they can enjoy the sand and water trays.
The team at Whetstone Nursery supports all aspects of learning and development prioritised by the EYFS, and follows its own unique Growing Enhancements programme for preschoolers. This includes Growing Readers, Writers and Mathematicians, as well as Growing Artists, Growing Scientists and Creative Cooks. These enriching activities encourage each child's natural curiosity to learn and inspire interest in food and art, helping lay the foundations for future academic and creative achievements and providing a perfect prelude to school.
The nursery's excellent reputation comes from close relationships with families and the fantastic team spirit of its dedicated, long-standing staff. The experienced, qualified staff speak 11 languages and always put the children first.

Our baby started nursery a couple of months ago at eight months old. We had a lot of worries about our baby starting nursery so little. The staff have been amazing since day one. Our baby is well looked after by kind and caring staff and has settled in well. Our baby is so happy and thriving at the nursery. She does a lot of structured activities and seems to enjoy them. This is evidenced by video clips and pictures uploaded on the app by the staff frequently. Overall, we are happy to have chosen this nursery for our baby.

Nicole joined Bright Horizons in February 2012 at the Southgate Nursery, where she worked as a nursery nurse for nearly a year before becoming a room leader — a role she proudly held for five years. She later advanced to third in charge, and in 2020 became the Deputy Manager at Bright Horizons Whetstone Nursery.
Having fallen in love with Whetstone’s warm and nurturing environment, Nicole was delighted to step into the role of Nursery Manager in April 2024.
She wholeheartedly embraces the Bright Horizons mission and finds nothing more rewarding than watching children grow, learn and reach their full potential during their time at the nursery.
