Situated in Padgate, Ashbourne Day Nurseries offers a purpose built single storey nursery setting designed to give children the best possible start in life in a safe, secure and inspiring environment. Open from 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday, the nursery provides full day childcare with all year round continuity of care, making it an ideal choice for working parents who need reliable, consistent provision they can depend on.
One of the nursery’s key strengths is its exceptional outdoor provision. The expansive external area gives children daily opportunities to explore, connect with nature, enjoy open space and take part in active play that builds confidence, independence and curiosity. Outdoor learning is a core part of the day, supporting both physical development and a love of exploration.
Inside, the nursery is thoughtfully designed with age appropriate rooms that support every stage of early development, including a dedicated baby room for children aged 3 months to 2 years and a pre school room for children aged 2 to 4 years. Additional spaces such as a separate dining area, quiet focus room and designated care facilities help create a calm, structured environment where children feel secure and supported.
What sets Ashbourne at Padgate apart is its combination of experienced practitioners, strong routines and a consistent focus on individual development. From infancy through to school readiness, each child is closely observed and supported with tailored activities and enriching experiences designed to help them thrive.
Ashbourne Padgate is an established and trusted setting with a strong local reputation. It follows the EYFS curriculum alongside its bespoke Future Foundations curriculum, ensuring a well rounded approach to early education.
Parking is available in the middle car park, which is the main designated area for parents attending Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Padgate, providing convenient access to the nursery entrance for drop-off and pick-up.

Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week.

You've selected 30 funded hours.
This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.

I went for a show round at padgate this week and it was amazing. We have viewed other nurseries but Padgate was the best we have seen. The manager was lovely and gave us all the relevant information about the rooms, staff, resources, the areas they have set up and the routines for the nursery. All the staff in the room were very smiley and looked happy to be there and it was so nice to see so much positivity from the manager, staff and children and to see the staff engaged with the children. I absolutely love the idea of the children telling you how they feel when they arrive and how you focus on their feelings and allowing them to learn about it. I was made to feel like my child will be valued and cared for instead of being just another number in the setting and i couldn't ask for any more.

Exceptional Care & Growth - Ashbourne Nursery is Unmatched! Ashbourne Nursery has provided truly exceptional care for our autistic son. From day one, their expertise in SEN support, compassion, and tailored approach helped him settle, thrive, and find joy in learning. They don't just meet needs-they anticipate them, creating a safe, stimulating environment where he feels understood and celebrated. Their team's patience, proactive communication, and genuine warmth have been transformative. Daily updates and creative strategies (sensory play, calming techniques) show their dedication to his progress. Watching him grow socially and emotionally has been incredible. For parents seeking inclusive, heart-led care, Ashbourne sets the gold standard. Forever grateful!
Trust, care, progress-they deliver it all.

My little boy has been attending this nursery for a year and loves it. Never upset to go in, always in a great mood at pick up. That says it all really. Staff are warm and approachable, updates are thorough. I feel like the app could be better utilised for things like developmental updates. But it's nice knowing what they've eaten through the day and the occasional snapshot of activities. They have a spacious outdoor area which they spend lots of time in (weather permitting). Indoor area has lovely little nooks, messy play, home living, sensory. I love that they have a separate dining area to replicate school/home dining. Manager/parent communication is great, the manager keeps us up to date on everything and is always on hand for any issues. Only reason I'm marking down learning is because my son is only 1.5 and I'm not sure what he's actually "learning" at this age (again developmental updates on app would help here)
Would definitely recommend this setting to others.

The staff are passionate and well trained and there's a real family atmosphere to the entire setting.

This nursery keeps going from strength to strength. Keep up the great work!

Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending the setting since she was 12 months old and she is now 4. She absolutely loves attending and the staff have built a lovely relationship with her. We have an excellent relationship with the manager, who is very supportive and understanding.
