Welcome To Our Website

Camperdown Nursery has been operating for over 40 years and is well-established and highly regarded in the local community. We offer high quality childcare and education to children aged 2 to 5 years in a caring, home from home, enriched learning environment.

We are a small unit enabling our staff to really get to know the children as individuals, ensuring that each child's interests and developmental needs are met. We are very outdoor orientated and have free-flow to our wonderful outdoor areas, as well as taking every opportunity to take the children out into the local community and down to the forest for expeditions and adventures.

Feel free to get in touch with us to find out more or if you have any questions at all. You are welcome to come and visit us at the nursery any time. Just give us a ring on 01875 813313.
