Nurturing Spaces Designed for Every Stage of Early Development
At Heaton Park Nursery, our six carefully designed rooms and outdoor area provide safe, stimulating, and age-appropriate environments where children can grow, learn, and thrive.
🍼Tiny Lambs (0-16 months)
Our Tiny Lambs room is specifically for children aged up to 16 months. It is tailored to suit the individual routines and needs of young children.
The Tiny Lambs room is run and led by our parents and carers to ensure all individual routines from home are mirrored in the nursery, whilst staff support children's weaning process.
Children’s bottles and meals are provided at the times to suit their individual routines.
The Tiny Lamb children sleep in cots and Heaton Park View take pride in ensuring a home from home experience.
🐑 Little Lambs (16 months–2 years)
The Little Lambs room is specifically for children aged from 15 months to 2 years and is a spacious environment providing children who are learning to walk with the development space they require.
The room provides a safe place for children at a key transitional period in their development and the team work closely with parents ar carers to ensure smooth progress is made. Little Lambs have their own bathroom making toilet training (with parents' assistance) an easier task.
🐝 Busy Bees (2–2.5 years)
Children aged 2-3 years are cared for in the Busy Bee's room, with their own access to the exciting and challenging outdoor area.
Children can improve their personal, social and emotional development on the built-in stage in this room, perfect for showcasing little individual talents. Appropriate toys and equipment suited to the groups' ages and interests offer entertainment and learning opportunities.
🦉 Little Owls (2.5–3 years)
Little Owls is a vibrant room where children aged 2.5 to 3 years begin to develop greater independence and curiosity. With engaging activities, creative resources, and caring practitioners, this space encourages communication, early problem-solving, and social skills, all while children enjoy learning through fun, purposeful play.
As children in this age group become more confident explorers, Little Owls offers plenty of opportunities for imaginative play, sensory experiences, and developing routines that help prepare them for the next step in their learning journey.
🦉 Wise Owls (3–5 years)
The Wise Owls room has been specially designed to provide education for older children up to 5 years.
The focus in this room is to offer learning through play and pre-school education is the focus. We have a full-time Early Years teacher who provides structured education and targets activities to support each child's readiness for school.
🎓 Our Classroom (Pre-School)
Our dedicated Classroom is led by a highly experienced Early Years Teacher and is specially designed to support children as they prepare for school. Through fun, structured school readiness activities, children build confidence, develop early literacy and numeracy skills, and learn important routines that will help them transition smoothly into Reception. It's a nurturing space where children are encouraged to become independent, curious learners — ready to take their next big step with excitement and ease.
🌳Outdoor Play
All of Heaton Park View's children have access to our spectacular outdoor area which includes a race track, digging and planting areas, sand and bark pit and a reading garden situated in its own little quiet spot at the bottom of the garden. There is also access to Heaton Park - the second largest municipal park in Europe and it is right on our doorstep.
