We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Our Environments

We believe that outdoor play is very important; it offers children freedom, space and the time to explore. In an outdoor environment, children can also be active and inventive, playing with water, sand, mud, paint and blocks on a much larger scale than would be possible in an indoor space. Our children have opportunities to be outdoors each and every day.

Indoor Environments

The rooms at our day nursery in Luton are furnished with the finest quality, wooden, Early Years furniture – designed to optimise development and resourced with a huge breadth and depth of equipment to give our children the widest experiences. 

An example of the types of items we offer our children, and the thought that goes into choosing every piece, is our Small World and Construction areas in our Preschool Rooms. Our children use the large and small blocks as well as the ‘loose parts’ resources to create a huge array of games, scenes and structures. We’ve seen a booming factory, a bustling train station, and a grand castle to name just a few of the outcomes. There are so many developmental benefits that result from the children engaging in these activities, as well as the fun, delight and joy they get from their creations.

Children develop the ability to plan as they think through how they will translate their ideas from imagination to “real life” construction; they learn how to build things, fitting parts together, they improve their ability to adapt and their trial-and-error problem solving capabilities as they find alternative options when things don’t go as they expected; and they progress their social skills as they work together. The range of materials in these areas really support children’s learning and offer them opportunities to extend and grow their ideas. 

Outdoor Environments

Our outdoor environments here at Prospect House follow the same principles as our indoor areas – maximising learning and development but always through play and enjoyment. We have a large outdoor space for the children to enjoy, and we have populated it with some brilliant features, equipment and resources. There are dens and cosy areas, a large sandpit, a Sensory Garden, a Mud Kitchen, climbing equipment, and a Water Wall (which we also use as a huge art board).

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
