A safe, fun, and inspiring nursery to play and learn

Earl Shilton Children’s Day Nursery opened in 2025. The nursery is perfectly located in the heart of Earl Shilton on the High Street, next door to our older friends at Kingsfield Court near the beautiful castle grounds.

Upon arriving, you are greeted by an incredible team of fun loving, enthusiastic, highly qualified professionals who share owner Abby’s passion to be outstanding within their field and enjoy close and loving relationships with all the children within their care.

We work very closely with parents/carers to ensure that you feel relaxed and confident that your child is safe and happy and update you with daily pictures and videos of your child, playing learning and achieving.

Choosing the right nursery is a very important decision – please take advantage of our regular nursery viewing evenings, where you can meet some of the team, see the wonderful facilities and rooms we have, to help decide if our nursery is the one for you and your little one.
