Pop Up Day Nursery:
Irchester
What to ExpectWelcome to our Irchester setting! It is a flexible and welcoming pack-away nursery located in the village hall, carefully designed to make the most of the space while still providing a rich and engaging environment for children. Despite being a compact setting, we offer exciting play areas including a miniature construction zone in the garden and a mud kitchen for creative, hands-on learning.
We care for children aged 9 months to 5 years, supported by our team of qualified and experienced practitioners who ensure each child receives nurturing, high-quality care. Our focus on independence, exploration, and nature-inspired play helps children develop confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning in a safe and inspiring space.

We charge a non-food consumables fee for children under the age of 3 to cover essential items such as nappies, wipes, nappy sacks, sun cream, formula, nappy cream, sensory play resources, and outings.
