Located on the outskirts of Sandbach at Big Hind Heath Farm, Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach is housed in a beautiful Victorian farmhouse dating from the 1860s. The nursery combines character, charm, and spacious learning environments to provide a unique setting where children are able to learn, play, and grow in a warm, nurturing atmosphere.
Spread across two floors, the nursery features dedicated spaces for babies, toddlers, and pre-school children, each carefully designed to support every stage of development. Bright, engaging environments encourage curiosity, creativity, and independence, providing children with opportunities to explore their interests through meaningful, play-based learning experiences.
A standout feature of the nursery is its extensive outdoor provision. Children benefit from four separate garden areas tailored to different age groups, as well as a large physical play space where they are able to explore, build confidence, and connect with nature. With ample room for outdoor adventure, discovery, and active play, the outdoor environment is an important part of daily learning.
Conveniently located near Junction 17 of the M6, the nursery is easily accessible for families across the region. Supported by a dedicated team of early years professionals, Ashbourne Day Nurseries at Sandbach offers a caring, inspiring environment where children are encouraged to thrive, develop confidence, and build the foundations for future success.

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.
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Its nice to see the improvements including decoration and garden that the new manager has carried out making this an excellent nursery and atmosphere.

Overall Experience
I think in the last few months the nursery has turned a new leaf and is doing very well. My child is well looked after and I get excellent hand overs so I know what my child has done every day. My son is well-fed and clean when I pick him up.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 12 months old (he has now turned 2). I was very worried about how he would settle (very new to socialising with children his own age/wasn't great with strangers). All the staff have been just amazing since day one - I can say that he loves his days at nursery and we have noticed such a huge difference in him since he started (his confidence, communication etc). I love hearing about all the different things he gets up to and seeing him grow with all the support and care he gets from all the staff.

The staff are very welcoming and my child loves going to nursery. Learning topics are varied and inclusive. One of the things that attracted me was the amount of open space the children have access to.

Best nursery in Sandbach, so accommodating for our family and my son that requires some additional support. The staff are amazing and very welcoming. They have been very helpful with my son's additional support and are very communicative at the end of every day, we have a full picture of how he has been, his naps, the food he has eaten and the amount and his mood or behaviour in general. I have never had any issues with care or communication. Highly recommended nursery.

Choosing a nursery is such a difficult decision but I am incredibly grateful that we made the right choice with The Meadows Children's Day Nursery. Our son goes in happy and clearly has lots of fun each and every day. It's lovely to hear all about the fantastic things he has been doing and how he is developing. This is down to the brilliant environment and the fantastic, caring staff. Nothing is too much for them and they are amazing with the children (and parents!). I go off to work knowing my child is happy and cared for so well. I would highly recommend The Meadows Children's Day Nursery.

My child is currently at The Meadows Children's Day Nursery, he will be finishing there in September when he will move on to reception. We will be terribly sad to say goodbye, the nursery has been part of our lives for the past three years and the teachers have become like family and looked after both my kids at one point as if they were their own. I am forever grateful and could not recommend them more highly. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to all the children and their families.

Overall Experience
Excellent standard of care. Both our children have attended this setting and have been/are very happy here. Procedures are well established and communicated clearly.
When faced with difficult challenges they have always had the children at the core of their decisions.

My little girl started preschool in July 2022 and has since come on in leaps and bounds! My daughter was reluctant to try new food but since starting at The Meadows she has started to eat all different foods after the outside influence from other children and pre-school staff. My daughter's vocabulary has also really improved. As a parent, it is so important for your child to feel happy and safe after a long day at school and my child always comes home a happy little girl. Thank you to all staff at The Meadows for your hard work and patience and for making school a lovely experience for my little girl.

My daughter has been going here since she was twelve months old. She was born during the Covid pandemic so had, had very little contact with other people due to the restrictions. The nursery made sure she was well cared for and supported her in interacting with other children and adults. On her really poorly days, they always make sure she is given lots of comfort until I get there. All the food on site is home cooked and she returns home well-fed, she is given seconds if she asks for them which is a sign of a good meal. Just before her second birthday, I had a son, the nursery has been incredibly supportive in helping her to adjust to life with her little brother and allowed me to reduce her hours whilst I was on maternity leave, then when I go back to work she will return to three full days, with her little brother in tow. During her time they have also been pivotal in ensuring potty training was a success away from the home.
The staff are all incredibly kind and caring.

The staff are friendly and enthusiastic. My little boy looks forward to going into nursery in the morning. All members of staff are attentive to my child's needs and provide a debrief of the day. There are large outdoor spaces for each age group. Staff guide children through a range of activities including arts and crafts. I was initially apprehensive about my child starting nursery but this was short-lived as the staff are so approachable and genuine. My little boy enjoys the majority of meals prepared for him by the chef. High praise indeed from a toddler.
They are a really hard-working team who work with me in building my little one's confidence but also starting to gently set some boundaries in preparation for school. He always has lots of fun and has made so many good friends there already.
