Baby Room
Based in the rural village of Kneesall, our nursery is based on the A616. We provide childcare for a wide range of children, including those using their government funded hours.
For babies aged 12 weeks - 2 years old
Our cosy, home-from-home baby room provides your child with a safe, loving environment for them to flourish. With lots of sensory activities at our fingertips, we love learn through play and explore the world around us. We have a dedicated baby garden in our outdoor area for children under 2 to explore.

Our tiny tots love to have snuggles from all our staff, and our baby room allows them to sleep peacefully whenever they wish. We follow your home routine at nursery, and work with parents to support you and your baby whilst at nursery and at home too.
Our team of dedicated, experienced key workers will form a very special bond with your child, and they play a very important part in their development.
Toddlers
Our toddler group is for children aged 2 - 3 years.
Our toddler room is a safe, caring environment where toddlers learn by exploring what’s around them with lots of hands-on activities and messy play. This may range from building sandcastles in the sandpit, baking in our home corner or to trying to pick up their own shadow in a puddle whilst exploring the great outdoors!
A key focus for our toddler group is learning how to work and play cooperatively with other children, sharing with others and finding their own personality and voices. We also work closely with parents as our toddlers begin their potty training journey.
Pre-school
Our pre-school is for children aged 3 - 5 years
old.
Our pre-school ensures that your child is ready for school by the time they reach the age of 5 years old. Our pre-school group learns through hands-on play whilst following the same learning guides as school, however we do not use worksheets like you may have seen at school.
We love exploring the local area and going to say hello to the cows and farm animals around us. Each week we do lots of singing, dancing, reading our favourite books and learning communication skills such as Makaton.
Outside Area
Our Kneesall nursery boasts a spacious outside area, that is well equipped to engage our children of all ages. Our grand castle takes the centre of attention with two levels, accessible for both older and younger children to enjoy role play and allow them to take risks within a controlled environment. A huge sandpit is the heart of our outside area, surrounded by our own race track for bikes, pedal cars and scooters. We have a specially built baby garden for our children aged under 2, with their own built-in sandpit and play equipment tailored to their age and abilities.
At Country Kids we believe that daily outside play is essential for their development, and our children enjoy playing outdoors all year round. Raincoats and wellington boots are their best friends, as they enjoy exploring nature around them, even when it's raining!
