Set in Blacon Children’s Centre in the heart of the community, Blacon Nursery and Preschool is a warm, supportive setting where children aged 0 – 4 can grow through play, creativity, and learning. With dedicated baby, toddler, and preschool rooms, each space is thoughtfully designed to support every stage of your child’s development.
Babies benefit from a bright and airy space with a calming sensory den; while toddlers and preschoolers enjoy their own large, spacious rooms, both segmented into engaging play-zones that spark curiosity and imagination. The setting’s experienced early-years team balances creative play and exploration with guided learning, helping children build their independence, confidence, and the essential skills they need for a successful start at school.
Outdoor learning is at the heart of the team’s approach, with each room opening onto its own secure, covered garden spaces, so children can explore the outdoors in all seasons. From role-play and seasonal exploration to nature-based adventures, every day is filled with meaningful opportunities for little ones to learn, grow, and thrive.
Building strong relationships with families and local schools is a top priority for the nursery and preschool, ensuring every child feels safe, inspired, and supported as they take their next steps through their early-years journey.
Parents are always more than welcome to pop in for a visit at their earliest convenience.

Sky High Achievers is a fantastic nursery and what makes it extra special is its kind, supportive and nurturing staff. They work hard to understand, care for and ensure the children are ready for the future. We have had 2 children attend Sky High and the facilities are fantastic, particularly the large outdoor space where the children spend a lot of time exploring and enjoying the fresh air. Having a child with additional needs, the nursery have supported both him and us through assessment and diagnosis and have been proactive in ensuring the right support is in place for him. The nursery are always keen to include parents/carers in developing and improving the service and nursery management are always available for you to discuss any concerns.
The fact that both children run in at the beginning of the day and have to be dragged out at the end is testament to how much they love it there.
I would definitely recommend Sky High to anyone looking for childcare.
