Based in a converted 1930s property, Rushden Day Nursery offers quality childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old and is working towards ‘The Curiosity Approach’ accreditation, creating welcoming play spaces and learning opportunities for children growing up in an ever-changing world.
The nursery has two spacious gardens that are equipped with engaging resources, and both areas offer plenty of opportunity for all children to explore, learn and play.
Supported by a team of kind and experienced early years practitioners, children are encouraged to reach their full potential, with independence and curiosity always promoted. Providing regular updates on each child's time at the nursery, families have the peace of mind that they'll never miss out on any key milestones or achievements.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear your son is thriving and that you feel supported by our team. Thank you for trusting us to be part of his journey and for your wonderful recommendation!

Thank you for your lovely feedback! Were so pleased your son enjoys nursery and that you feel confident he is safe, happy and well cared for.
We're really happy with how our boy has been looked after since starting nursery since July. He has settled in really well and has become comfortable with the staff and his surroundings. We've already noticed some lovely positive changes in him, especially with sitting, listening and focusing...
Communication with the manager (good listener) and the team has also been great. When he recently had an accident, they contacted us straight away and kept a close eye on him with regular checks. We really appreciated being shown the regular checks and observations they had done; it was very reassuring for us as parents.
Overall and so far, we're very happy with the care and attention our boy receives. A special thank you to Kellie, Madi, Siobhan and Laura, as well as the rest of the team, for all the care and support you've shown. It really means a lot to us.
This nursery is highly recommended..

The pre school room is really engaging and fun and my little boy learns alot. The baby room are so caring gentle with my little girl who basically just wants lots of cuddles and play! They are excellent at providing a safe and trusting environment.

Thank you for your lovely feedback and continued support over the years! Were delighted to hear that your family has had such a positive experience with our team at Rushden Day Nursery.
I cannot recommend Rushden Day Nursery highly enough. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about putting my daughter into nursery as she had always been with me, but she has absolutely thrived - socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually.

I cannot recommend Rushden Day Nursery highly enough. As a first-time mum, I was nervous about putting my daughter into nursery as she had always been with me, but she has absolutely thrived - socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually.
She has settled brilliantly and adores the staff, who feel like an extension of our family. Kerry, Katie, Kya, Ellie and Megan are just a few of the many superstars who have made such a difference.
Communication is fantastic, with regular updates and beautifully created photos showing us what she's been doing. They know her inside and out, encourage her unique personality and let her explore safely and confidently.
They have supported us through so many milestones, including sleep, feeding herself, walking and socialising. Most importantly, she is happy, loved, understood and thriving. I couldn't ask for better care.
Thank you so much for your review. It is wonderful to hear how much your daughter has thrived since joining us and that you have seen such positive growth in her social, physical, emotional and intellectual development. We understand how daunting those first nursery days can be for a first-time...

My youngest currently attends Rushden Day Nursery. She is in the baby room. She has been in there since Feb 2026. She has formed some amazing relationships with the staff that look after her. I know she is well looked after and I have no doubt she is having lots of fun and learning new things all the time. My middle son also attended Rushden Day Nursery, so there wasn't anywhere else that my daughter would have been going. Amazing staff and management : )
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your daughter has formed such strong bonds with our baby room team and that you feel confident she is happy, well cared for, and enjoying new learning experiences every day.
Great nursery, a home from home setting with caring staff. Flexible hours are available which works with our careers and the management team is always happy to book extra hours in if there is staff available. Our child really enjoys going there.

I am absolutely delighted! My child goes to the nursery with a smile on her face. The morning drama and tears are a thing of the past (what a relief it is for a mother to know her child is having a great time). I am grateful that I can come inside whenever my daughter needs to say goodbye to me...
I am absolutely delighted! My child goes to the nursery with a smile on her face. The morning drama and tears are a thing of the past (what a relief it is for a mother to know her child is having a great time). I am grateful that I can come inside whenever my daughter needs to say goodbye to me upstairs. I also see progress in her development. The management team is doing a fantastic job, too-I get reliable answers to every question.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're absolutely delighted to hear that your daughter now comes into nursery with a smile and that those difficult morning goodbyes are a thing of the past.

My child has been attending Rushden Day Nursery since September. He is loving it, the staff are very friendly and have helped him settle straight in. The facilities are great and plenty for the children to interact with and play. Food is freshly cooked and great variety on the menu everyday.

They've helped my son loads, he is so much more confident in himself. When I expressed concerns for him being autistic they listened to me and are supporting not only my son but us as parents too. The staff are lovely and friendly always are so welcoming.

Since attending the nursery my son is absolutely thriving! Great educational support is given through different forms of play, and they really supported him with his mobility needs and feeding needs.
My son has a great bond with all staff and they are like a family to him. He is very loved and supported. I know that my son feels safe and secure because when I leave him to go to work he easily goes to staff and is content and happy.
My son is coming on so well! Thank you so much to all of the staff at the nursery, you are amazing!
