Our story

We take great pride in the history behind our nursery and are grateful to be able to continue to expand, develop and provide children with a place where they can explore, discover and feel happy.

Childcare at its best

Word-of-mouth has always been our best marketing strategy and we are immensely proud that many of the children who were with us at Brooklyn Day Nursery in times past, now send their own children to learn with us.
  • Happy and Content

    A quick look at the happy faces of our children being cared for by well-qualified staff who’ve been part of Brooklyn Day Nursery’s fabric for many years will show that some things never change: children are still the happiest learning and having fun in a supportive, stimulating environment.

  • Growth and development

    Throughout all the changes in childcare practice and regulation over the years, we’ve held true to our philosophy of exceptionally caring childcare in a fun and comforting environment.

  • Let your child thrive

    Brooklyn Day Nursery in Nottingham was opened by my father and his first wife in 1958. 


    Very soon the school established itself as an integral part of Sutton-in-Ashfield and neighbouring communities.


    Such was its success that a move was soon needed and the nursery moved it its present location; a fabulous 1880-built stone house, surrounded by fields and woodland in Annesley.


    Brooklyn Day Nursery has lowered its intake in recent years to 50 children as more nursery schools open and we now include the Early Years Foundation Stage in our daily routine.
