A WELCOMING AND RURAL NURSERY IN SAFFRON WALDEN.
The bright, inspiring nursery in Saffron Walden provides exceptional care and education to children from 3 months to 5 years.
They focus on understanding every child’s unique personality and interests, and use these to encourage learning and exploring. Each room features age-appropriate toys, activities and equipment to inspire children’s natural curiosity. The children particularly enjoy the reading nooks, dedicated art corner and building blocks, as well as taking part in imaginative play in the construction role-play area.
The nursery also practices Growing Enhancements – a unique Ready for School programme focusing on reading, writing and mathematics – to support your child in their transition from nursery to school. Growing Enhancements also include Creative Cooks, Active Athletes and Growing Artists, allowing your child to express their creative side and discover new passions.
Outside, Saffron Walden Crocus has plenty of space to discover nature. There are climbing frames, raised beds for gardening, tricycles, an up-and-over tunnel and various outdoor games – all sectioned into age-appropriate gardens and surrounded by greenery.
The nursery is located on the grounds of a secure school location with gated entry and ample onsite nursery parking. The nursery has great links to local bus routes and all-inclusive fees feature nappies, wipes, meals and snacks – giving you less to pack on busy mornings.
The team at the nursery would love to meet you and your child, so book a visit today and the team will show you all the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

All 3 were so happy there, the staff and management look after the children so well. I don’t know how we would have coped as working parents without them! I would highly recommend this nursery.
It is a really positive experience all round.

We are really happy that we chose to send our son here. The staff are so friendly and helpful and take as much job out of our son's achievements as we do. The food is outstanding and it is so reassuring to know that our son is having such a balanced and nutritional diet when he is there.

We always know that she is in safe hands and she loves her time at Crocus.

Thank you for taking such care and attention of my daughter over the last 4 years. She has loved being at nursery and has made great memories during her time here. Thanks to the staff she is ready for school, confident and happy. I can't thank you enough.

Both our children have gone through the nursery and have loved their experience here. They built strong relationships with all their key workers, including all the staff here. My daughter is a coeliac and if it wasn't for the excellent 6F diet provided to her- her recovery from diagnosis would not have happened so quickly. The staff did a fabulous job of making her feel included. We will miss all the staff here and so will our children.
The staff are very helpful and caring. They always take time to find out how the children are each morning and explain how their day has been each evening. They contact us regularly and provide weekly newsletters. I know who to contact if I need anything. Both my daughter and son have been well...

The staff at Crocus Early Years have provided great support and advice during my daughter's transition to reception. They are kind, considerate and take all views when deciding the best type of support for my child.

Both my children have had a delightful time at Crocus Early Years. The staff are truly caring, supportive and professional. They've given my children a great basis for heading to school. So many outdoor and varied indoor activities; an onsite chef who prepares balanced, filling meals, good reporting procedures and a genuinely welcoming and understanding atmosphere.
Our son has been very happy at Crocus Early Years and in each room he has felt secure and has learned various development milestones. The staff have been very supportive and friendly.

The activities they do have really improved my daughter's skills especially social! She is so much better being around other children now.
Everything about being in this place has benefitted my daughter and I am so pleased I chose them.

I cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication and care of my daughter. It is so evident they care about her wellbeing and growth. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking. I trust them truly with my precious daughter.
Our daughter started nursery this month and the team at The Crocus have been very supportive to both our little girl and myself! We had not left our child in care before and had our concerns but the staff at the nursery helped us introduce our little girl to the setting in a way she felt relaxed as...
The Crocus have excellent food allergy policies which are re-assuring as our daughter has multiple food intolerances. They have gone out of their way to buy particular "free-from" products just for our daughter.
Staff and Management are excellent and it is a lovely environment to be in.
