Where Little Moments Become Big Milestones
Our nursery is based in a beautiful former Sunday school on New Line, full of character and charm. We offer flexible daycare from 8am–6pm for children aged 12 weeks to 5 years, providing a safe and nurturing space for every stage of early childhood.
At Apperley Bridge Nursery, we care for every child as an individual. With a calm, supportive approach and a strong focus on early development, we help children feel secure, confident and ready for their next steps.
We’d love to welcome you ... book a tour and come and meet us.
Baby & Tweenie Room
For Children Aged 12 Weeks – 2.5 Years
Our baby room is a calm, cosy, home-from-home space where your little one is cared for, comforted and supported from day one. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where babies can settle happily and enjoy their day.
Learning happens through play, with plenty of sensory activities and real-life resources that encourage curiosity and exploration. Babies can sleep whenever they need, with routines followed from home, and cuddles are always part of the day.
Each child has a dedicated key worker who builds a strong, loving bond, supporting their wellbeing and early development every step of the way.
Preschool Room
For Children aged 2.5 - 5 years old
Our pre-school room is all about learning through play, building friendships and growing confidence. Children learn to share, take turns and work together through everyday play, from role play to construction activities.
We use real-life resources to spark curiosity and hands-on learning, keeping plastic toys to a minimum and helping children develop important life skills. Sensory play is a big part of our day, alongside Dough Disco, Jolly Phonics and Squiggle While You Wiggle, supporting early reading and writing in a fun, practical way.
We follow the same early learning goals as schools, but believe children learn best through real experiences, exploration and play.
How We're Different
We know childcare costs can really add up, so we try to make things as simple and fair as possible for families. We include everyday essentials like nappies, wipes and suncream (if you choose to opt in, you can also choose to use your funding completely free of charge!), so there are no extras to think about.
Unlike many nurseries, we don’t charge for Bank Holidays, and we also offer half-rate holiday sessions when holidays are booked at least four weeks in advance. This means you only pay half price for up to two weeks of your child’s usual sessions, for example, if your child attends two days a week, you can have four days a year at half price.
Our eligible families also have the option to use government-funded hours, helping to make childcare more manageable for families.
The Great Outdoors
At Country Kids, we believe outdoor play is an important part of every child’s day, and our children enjoy being outside all year round. Raincoats and wellies are firm favourites as children explore, splash and discover the natural world, even on rainy days.
Our Apperley Bridge nursery has a fantastic outdoor space for children of all ages to explore, climb, dig and, of course, make plenty of mud pies!

Testimonials
“My boys been here since he was 6 month old. He has come on heaps and bounds and is advanced for his age. We do think this a lot of this is down to CK. Participating in so much activities with mixed aged children. As a first time mum, my concerns have been managed, dietary requirements have been met. Wonderful people looking after the most important thing in my life. I highly recommend. When your child joins CK its they join an extended family not just a nursery."
"My son has been going to country kids for 5 months now. I was extremely nervous regarding him settling in but Leanne reassured me so much and he settled in brilliantly. He now absolutely loves going to nursery and he always has such a good day. Communication is great and I always get to find out what he has done during the day and he always has a smile on his face when he leaves. Great nursery and great staff xx"
“My little boy, Jacob, has been going to Country Kids for about a year and a half. He was so quiet and uncertain when he first started but now he is incredibly vocal and has the most magnetic personality! Leanne and the rest of the amazing staff at Country Kids have been a truly positive and nurturing aspect of my boy's life and I am so grateful for their consistent input. Their prices and reliability are also second to none!"
