Rated 'Good' by Ofsted in May 2025, the Early Years Alliance Bulwell Childcare Centre Nursery offers quality childcare for up to 54 children between the ages of 6 weeks -11 years.
The committed and friendly team of practitioners provides children with a variety of learning opportunities which follow the early years foundation stage (EYFS) and they are encouraged to learn through play.
The nursery is open from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm during term time.
The nursery is fortunate enough to be situated inside a previous Children's Centre where they have lots of lovely space including an outside area to play in.
The nursery is split into three rooms. The first room is called "The Little Stars" where the children age from 6 weeks to 2 years old. The second room is the 'Little Treasures' room where they take children from 2 until 3 years of age.
Then when staff feel the children are ready and parents are happy they move them into the 'Little Explorers' room where children can stay until they are 5 years of age.
Environments are very welcoming with home from home style and lots of natural resources that are used to create inviting, exciting, imaginative and explorative spaces to engage all of the children.
The focus is on the children's own interests and staff work closely with all families all of the time. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always on hand to help whenever they can.
There is also an after-school club and staff do a school pick up from Crabtree Farm Primary school next door.

The teachers here at Bulwell Childcare are amazing, I was so sceptical about letting my child go to nursery at a young age, especially with all the stories in the media but he has been there for 2 years now and the teachers my son has had have been incredible with him and I couldn't have asked for better people to be teaching him the time he has been here. When he first came to nursery my son was struggling with his speech and a few other things a few months in this nursery and he started speaking properly, his confidence had got so much better and he was so happy and loved it. Each day he learnt new things. Thank you to the manager and the staff, you're all such lovely and amazing people and I can't thank you all enough.
Thank you for your review, it has been our pleasure to help your child grow and learn. We hope he has lots of fun at school and we will miss him lots.
Just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff. You have all been amazing, I definitely would recommend your child/children come here, they work very well in all settings and especially for children with needs, they meet all their needs.

We love having your child at Nursery with us, and we have loved watching him grow. Thank you so much for your kind words.
My son has been going to nursery for just over a year. He was very upset when he first started as are a lot of children I would imagine. They allowed my son to have as many settling in sessions as I wanted which was really good, as this made me feel comfortable as this was the first time my son had...
I love the Famly app, this is very useful when at work I can pop on and see what my little boy has been up to, what he has eaten etc.
Thank you to all the staff on making my son feel so welcome and loved at nursery.

Admittedly when our family moved to the area we a little apprehensive. But a change around in the management midway through really excelled this place. As well as watching my daughters flourish I too have seen this nursery advance in great bounds, and when it came time for my youngest to join, there was absolutely 'no' apprehension, only joy and pride knowing she definitely is safe, looked after and in good hands.
I think the best thing I can say that most parents will understand, is that your kids are not only safe and looked after here, but they are surrounded by very professional and loving human beings.
An excellent nursery.

This nursery is a very friendly and caring place. My son has been coming here since he was 2. His development has come on loads. The staff there have been fantastic with him. He loves going. He gets upset when I leave but when I go, he is completely fine. He is going to miss going and the staff when he leaves ready for school in September.
I and my son feel this nursery is home from home. The staff are not just nursery nurses they have become a role model to my child which has had positive effects on him. They are all very loving, very caring and very considerate and finally what people’s looking for honest, trustworthy and reliable...

Hi, I have a National Diploma in Early Years & Education which I gained in 2016. I have been working with Bulwell Childcare ever since and with the support of a good team, I have grown in confidence and knowledge. I have a child of my own so understand how hard it can be to leave them in childcare. I am a passionate worker who just loves being a part of the development of all the little ones we are involved in within the nursery. Supporting them and their families' emotional well-being is a real strength of mine. I can support all our new children, as well as hold the hands of our parents as they leave their babies for the first time. I currently work in The Little Explorers room.

I started working at Nursery as Maternity Cover, I enjoyed my time here so much that when the opportunity to stay permanently came along I grabbed it with both hands. I have a Level 3 diploma and came to work at Bulwell Childcare straight from achieving my qualification. I love to get messy with the children and encourage them to use their creative side. I have worked with all ages since being here and really enjoy helping them bring out their creativity. I have also completed my training to become a SENCO as helping all children is something I am passionate about. I am currently based in the Little Explorers Room.

I am a mother of two boys and I love working with children of all ages. I am also the SENCO worker for Bulwell Childcare and have a real passion for helping those children that need a little extra support. I have a level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and have been working with children for over 10 years now. I love it! You can currently find me having fun in The Little Explorers room.

I am a mother of one boy and one girl and can speak Slovak, Polish, Czech and English. I qualified with a level 3 Diploma in Childcare in 2012 and haven't looked back. I have enjoyed working with all ages and am pleased I have had the chance to use my languages to support some of our families in Bulwell Childcare. I am a very conscientious worker and always go over and above in anything I do. Being a part of each of our key children's lives is a real privilege and documenting their progress to share with families after is something I really enjoy too. It's great we have a lovely friendly team who always pull together when the need arises. Fun and family are always at the heart of what we do. I am currently based in The Little Stars Room.
