Stars Day Nursery, Bushfield
Bushfield Nursery
Here at Bushfield Nursery, we understand the importance of a child’s early years, with them being an especially important time for your child’s development and we aim to help them fulfil their potential. In July 2024 our nursery was rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This is down to our experienced team of Early Years Educators who plan a wide range of learning activities to promote development for each and every child.
At our nursery in Peterborough, there are 54 places catering for children aged between 3 months and 5 years old. We have two rooms, the baby room and the pre-school room. The baby room is for those aged between 3 months to 23 months whilst the pre-school room is for those between 2 and 5 years old. Both rooms have access to an enclosed garden and play area so your child can enjoy a range of outdoor fun!
