The Secret Garden provides high-quality childcare within a warm, friendly 'home from home' setting.
They have a team of dedicated and enthusiastic staff who tailor every activity to the development of each individual child. This ensures the development of every child to their full potential through fun and stimulating play, making confident, happy children.
The children progress through the West Bridgford nursery from the Ladybirds room (babies), Butterflies room (toddlers), Dragonflies, Honeybees and Bumblebees (pre-school).
A private garden to the rear with a dedicated area for the babies means that the children are outdoors enjoying nature and physical activities on a daily basis and a free flow system means that at certain times, children can choose to play indoors or outdoors.
Each child has a key person in each room, enabling the staff to form a strong bond with every child and to get to know them extremely well.
Secret Garden Childcare is a small, family-run business with a focus on nature and the environment. They focus on using natural materials and accessing the outdoor environment to maximise learning opportunities.
Extra-curricular activities include French lessons and forest school for the pre-school children, regular walks to the local park, shops and feeding the ducks, taking full advantage of local opportunities for learning about the world.
No learning opportunity is lost; even a rainy day can make for a fun learning activity, kitted out with wellies, brollies and waterproofs!

Overall Experience
The Secret Garden Private Day Nursery (West Bridgford) staff are amazing with my daughter. They have taken the time to get to know her and make her feel very settled and welcome. I don't have any worries when I leave my daughter in their care. I 100% recommend the nursery.

The Secret Garden staff are lovely. The office staff are helpful and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. The staff that look after my son are brilliant. They've taken the time to get to know him so well and they've really helped him to settle there. They recognise development areas and discuss first to gain agreement and allow you to have input. Since my son has been here his social skills have improved, he's come along in potty training and more importantly, he enjoys going and is very happy.

This was the first potential nursery we visited, once we had received the guided tour my partner and I decided straight away that we were more than happy for our daughter to attend here. We cancelled our other planned visits to other nurseries!!. The staff are always very welcoming and happy. Our daughter loves to attend and take part in the varied and different activities she gets to experience each day.

After visiting several in our area, we knew that The Secret Garden was the nursery for us. From day one, the staff have been attentive and built a real bond with our son. There is a wide range of activities which take place including forest school, tennis and French.
Our son really enjoys his days at nursery and his confidence, numeracy and literacy have improved significantly since starting.

Fantastic nursery. Second child attending as standard of care was so good for first child who attended from age 1 year to starting school. Never had any issues or concerns with the nursery. Particularly have done an excellent job when child has been a bit unwell in terms of informing us and keeping the child at nursery until one of us could get out of work.
Forest school is a particular favourite of our youngest little one.
