Hartford Old School House Day Nursery operates from a beautiful, old building in Hartford, Cheshire and aims to offer local parents a professional approach to childcare and an environment that is ideal for early years learning.
All education is age-specific with a wide range of resources to suit progress through the early years. There is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, as well as active play. They encourage a natural, open-ended environment and are currently working towards an award for Surfers Against Sewage, which is a plastic free pledge to reduce the amount of single use plastic they use.
There is a large outside play area, with a separate 'growing area' for the children to learn about the world and grow their own vegetables.
The nursery has access to 2 minibuses and they are regularly used to transport children for trips out to various places and they are also used to take and collect children from local schools who access wraparound care.

My grandchild attended the Old School House Day Nursery for around 2 years and now having gone to school, we as a family couldn't be more happy with how he developed there. I particularly loved the broad age range of staff and it always felt so welcoming when me and my wife collected him, a real contrast to a Nursery my other grandchild attends in Cheltenham. Would highly recommend.
My twins have recently left for school and they have been at the Nursery since 2013 when they were 4 months old. The nursery is fantastic, I have nothing but praise for the staff and the managers.

My twins have recently left for school and they have been at the Nursery since 2013 when they were 4 months old. The nursery is fantastic, I have nothing but praise for the staff and the managers. We sent our first daughter there in 2010 and I would recommend Hartford to anyone looking for a 'home from home' for their children.
There is a wonderful mix of ages of staff, lovely setting and always striving to put the children first. Very sad to be leaving, but will be using the holiday club moving forward.
Thank you Rosie, we're so glad the twins are settled at school and look forward to seeing them in the holidays.
It's always difficult going back to work and leaving your child with someone but I have to say all the staff at Hartford Old School are fantastic and I know they provide the best care and development. My son says 'woohoo' when I tell him he's going to nursery and I think that says everything.

Both my daughters attend the nursery and I am always content that they will be safe and well cared for. My eldest daughter is just about to leave preschool and she is ready and confident to go to school, thanks to the excellent learning environment provided. The staff are very dedicated to making sure the children are happy and gaining positive experiences every time they attend. I highly recommend this nursery.

Hi, I'm Sarah, I am 40 years old with too many years of childcare experience to count! I did my level 3 back in 1999 followed by my foundation degree in 2012 and more recently a management qualification. I live at home with my husband, son and dog. I have had several childcare careers, including nannying, childminding and finally settling in nurseries, becoming a deputy manager in 2010 followed by a manager in 2012 and have stayed in management ever since.
Early years are my passions and I believe the best years are those of children 0-5, I feel honoured to be part of their early year's journey and nurture them to become the best!

Hi I'm Sophie, I started as an apprentice at Hartford Old School House in 2015 after leaving sixth form with 4 A levels. I was based in Tiny tigers for 3 years before moving to Preschool for 2 years. I have now taken on the role of Out of School Club leader, SENDCO and Third in charge. I enjoy working with all ages and I am a firm believer of learning through play. It has been so lovely watching little ones from back in tiny tigers leaving for big school and joining our out of school club room and carrying on their journey with us.

I'm room leader In Tiny Tigers and I'm Level 3 qualified Nursery practitioner. I first started at Hartford Old School House as a student and mixed in all different rooms to gather and gain experience with all ages. I instantly enjoyed my time here and found my forever place in Tiny Tigers. I love watching and helping your young ones grow into independent little humans. I love making messy/sensory hands on activities for the children to explore. I'm confident and want to be able to help your children achieve the best that they deserve and reach their full potential. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and friends.
