From the First Steps Nursery (New Mills) Ltd
Both in New Mills and Furness Vale, we have nurseries.
First Steps Nursery is enthusiastic about collaborating with you as parents or caregivers to make sure your kid grows to the fullest extent possible.
Children's emotional health, as well as fostering their growth in self-esteem and love of learning, are given a lot of attention.
You are always welcome to see us at any nursery, so stop by whenever you want.
In each of our settings, subsidised spots are available for 2, 3, and 4 year olds for both 15 and 30 hours. We have spaces from 3 months to 5 years.
Come meet us so we can demonstrate how we can help your kid learn in a fun, engaging, and secure way.
According to research, having a connection to environment is just as significant for wellbeing as well-known variables like wealth and education.
Additionally, studies have proven that spending time in nature is crucial for our physical, psychological, and overall well-being, and that it is more important than ever right now.
For our older kids, we staff at a very high adult-to-child ratio of 1:4, allowing us to support their talents and education.
With security fencing and a biometric access system, Furness Vale provides an extremely secure learning environment.
Visit our Forest Nursery page for something unique if you're seeking for it.
Our children frequently travel to our Furness location, where the older kids participate in forest sessions, and the children in our New Mills setting also have daily access to the outdoors in both our play space and the surrounding region.
We provide swimming lessons in the neighbourhood pool to all of our kids over the age of three.
In each of our settings, subsidised spots are available for 2, 3, and 4 year olds for both 15 and 30 hours. We have spaces from 3 months to 5 years.
