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.

My eldest daughter attended nursery and preschool here and was very happy. She made some great friends during her time here and still talks about how much she misses it, even though she is now at (and enjoying) school. My youngest daughter recently started full time in the baby room and settled in really quickly. Overall we're very happy with the care of our children and the lovely supportive nature of all staff at the nursery.
Wonderful staff who take an interest in childrens development. The food provided is healthy and the menus seem well-balanced. At pick up the staff give information on how your child has been throughout the day, which is nice to hear. The baby room is clean and has plenty of activities for the...
My main issue was the staff retention during my daughters' time at the nursery. She had 4-5 different key workers during her year there, due to staff leaving. However, all them were lovely and my daughter has not suffered because of this.

This is a lovely nursery and I recommend it all the time. My eldest child finished here a year and a half ago and my youngest is still there. The staff are welcoming, kind and patient with the children and there's lots of different toys and games to do every day, which keeps things fun for the kids. There's also a lot of outdoor play and active learning, which has gone down well with my two. Both my children have bonded well with their key workers and made lots of friends. I also appreciate the time taken to speak to each parent at pick up to explain how the day went, what they ate, how long they slept etc. I missed this feedback when my eldest started big school!
The Crocus is a lovley nursery through to pre-school. It's primarily a nursery, which is my main use for Crocus, with the added bonus of a pre-school room. With both my two children, I can see the added value each room has had to their development. Baby room has provided exposure to other children,...
Pre-school provides the chance for my children to establish relationships. Prepare to be more independent.
The staff at the nursery have been great and provided her with...
The food was amazing - the variety of food she got to try and expose her taste buds to different types of tastes and textures has made my life at home and for when we go out, much easier.
My only gripe would be the constraints placed upon the nursery in her learning wrt writing - in that they were not allowed to show them how to write unless the child expressed a specific interest - which for her was ok, because she did show an interest, but as they are teaching the children to count, I think the basics like learning to write their own names etc should be taught.
I definitely recommend Saffron Walden Crocus Early Years Centre.

The nursery is in a great location and having access to the farm is an added bonus for the children. My daughter is now in reception and we will both have such fond memories thanks to Crocus. I would recommend to all - and even did, as my friend's daughter is now also there! A huge thank you!

The staff at Crocus Nursery did a fantastic job looking after during her time there. She started nursery being a very shy and timid little girl and left being very outgoing and confident.

The staff are well trained related to their jobs, they can do any connection to asses the children according to education lines, they take care of the child wishes through observing them well. Staff are very good to provide the information to the parents about the child's likes and dislikes as they spend more time with them, especially the parents that work. Bright Horizons (Crocus Nursery at Saffron Walden) has good management.
