A Place Where Children Thrive

At Leaping Toads Nursery and Preschool, we provide a safe, caring and inspiring environment for children aged 9 months to 5 years, where they feel secure, confident and

excited to learn each day. 

​

Through warm relationships and engaging learning experiences, we help children

grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence - building strong foundations for

school and life.

​

Children also enjoy nutritious meals freshly made each day in our nursery kitchen,

supporting their wellbeing and development.

​

Our multilingual team of staff reflects the diversity of our community,

helping children and families feel welcomed, understood and supported.

Our Learning Approach

From sensory exploration to creative discovery, our days are carefully planned to spark curiosity, independence and a love of learning. In our engaging indoor and outdoor environments, children develop the social, emotional and early academic skills that prepare them for a happy, successful start at school.

“I had two of my children at Leaping Toads nursery, and I can honestly say it was the most amazing experience. I did not have one concern while my children were in their care, and they were always so excited to go to nursery. I would recommend everyone to send their children to Leaping Toads nursery as it was the most positive experience for me and my family.”

“What makes our experience great at your nursery is the way the teachers are always present and attentive to the children. They offer not just care, but truly listening ears, making each child feel seen and heard. We deeply appreciate how the staff take their time to communicate any concerns thoughtfully and openly with parents, creating a strong sense of trust and partnership. And to crown it all, the nursery consistently looks out for the overall wellbeing of the children, emotionally, physically, and socially. It’s clear they genuinely care, and that makes all the difference.”
