Introducing Station House Day Nursery
We are excited to share that Footsteps Day Nursery has a new beginning. Under new ownership, we will be moving forward with a fresh name: Station House Children’s Day Nursery.
This fresh start is all about honouring the much‑loved nursery at the heart of Castle Donington, while sprinkling in new energy, new ideas, and our wholehearted commitment to giving local families the absolute best in early years care. We cannot wait to build on everything that makes this setting special and continue creating a place filled with joy, care, and discovery.
About us, The DEN Nursery Group
At The DEN Nursery Group, we have spent decades crafting a nurturing approach where children and the amazing staff who support them can truly flourish. With a bespoke children’s curriculum, in‑house training, and a deep dedication to both physical and mental wellbeing, our nurseries buzz with smiles, laughter, learning, and play.
Add to that our many industry awards across food and nutrition, outdoor learning, pre‑school education, and leadership, plus an experienced team of early‑years specialists… and you can see why we are so excited to bring the DEN magic to Castle Donington.
What this means for Station House
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: children blossom when they feel safe, loved, and inspired. That is why our rooms are bright, spacious, and filled with inviting, age‑appropriate resources designed to make every child feel right at home.
Our dedicated team of fun‑loving, enthusiastic, and highly qualified professionals share a deep commitment to excellence in their field. They build warm, nurturing relationships with every child in their care. We work closely with parents and carers to ensure they feel confident and at ease, knowing their child is safe, happy, and well supported.
Outdoors, children will enjoy a large, grassy play area perfect for daily adventures. From imaginative play in our adorable Tiny Town, to exploring nature through exciting Forest School sessions, there are endless opportunities to imagine, discover, and grow. Children learn new skills, build confidence, and develop wonderful relationships as they play, talk, explore, and work together.
Here’s to a beautiful future together
We are so excited to begin this journey with you. Together, we will continue creating a warm, nurturing space where little ones feel cherished, supported, and free to shine.
