Nutritional nursery food
Our nursery cook, in collaboration with our catering manager, prepares fresh, healthy and nutritional top-quality daily meals on-site, creating seasonal specific tailored weekly menus. We take special care of children with allergies, dietary requirements, or those who are weaning, matching our ethos and values of promoting wellbeing and health in children.
Community learning opportunities
We use the local area as an extended classroom, exploring the woods, lido, parks, shops, and beyond. Regular trips include visits to Bury Transport Museum, Bury Art Museum, and China Town for broader learning experiences. We offer a Breakfast and After School Club for Chesham Primary School and a holiday club for all local schools too.
At Tiddlywinks Walmersley, we are a highly enriched, communication‑rich nursery where language, expression and connection sit at the heart of everything we do. Our passionate team creates an environment where every child feels heard, understood and fully supported. We value each child as an individual and nurture their curiosity from the moment they join us, helping them grow socially, emotionally and academically.
We’re proud to be located close to Bury town centre, with excellent motorway links and access to the natural environment, giving children a wonderful balance of convenience and outdoor exploration.
