Every day at Wilmere Lane, we inspire our children to be inquisitive, imaginative and confident learners through our carefully designed learning environments. For over 20 years, we've welcomed and nurtured children who go on to spend many happy years imagining, discovering, and exploring with us.


Our cosy, home-from-home atmosphere creates a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being--helping children to feel secure, content and ready to thrive.


Our passionate, experienced team brings a wealth of early years knowledge. We understand that every child is unique, with their own story to tell, so we tailor our approach to support each child in a way--and at a pace--that's just right for them.


Our children enjoy dedicated time in our large garden, where a range of outdoor experiences help them connect with nature and grow in confidence. Indoors, our calming and nurturing spaces are designed to support babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers alike.
