Welcome To Our World
Thank you for your interest in our nurseries. You have made an excellent choice in deciding to find out more about Broomhill Nursery. Our passion and commitment to early years is deeply rooted in wanting the very best start for all children, and recognition that their early years are fundamental in a child’s journey. Broomhill Nursery was founded in 1989.
We believe that allowing children access to high quality early learning and childcare enhances their life chances. We also recognise that each child is an individual with their own specific needs, beliefs, likes and interests, therefore our staff tailor each child’s care and learning plan to their specific requirements and celebrates all that makes them a special individual. We incorporate equality, diversity and inclusion which benefits children’s social and emotional development. We focus on effective transitions, attachments and life skills to form the basis of holistic development and care.
At Broomhill Nursery we follow national practice guidance which builds upon the principles of Pre Birth to Three, Realising the Ambition and Curriculum for Excellence. Each and every day children are offered fun and exciting opportunities aimed at stimulating and developing social, physical, emotional and intellectual skills. Staff are always on hand to support the children and observe, track and plan carefully to provide opportunities for each child to master the skills they need to move on to their next stage of development.
We endeavour to provide an excellent service to you and your family and to work in partnership with you to ensure that your child receives the best start to their formative years.
The best way for you to decide whether our nursery is right for you and your family is to visit and see for yourself what others are already enjoying here at Broomhill Nursery.
I look forward to meeting you.
Best wishes
Nicola Argo
Head of Establishment.

What do our parents & carers say?
I cannot fault the care given to S over the last 3 years and to her big sister before that. Staff go above and beyond to make the days engaging and fun and S’s confidence and inquisitive nature has really thrived with the care and support.
I am so incredibly sad that B’s time at Broomhill has come to an end. The care, kindness and effort that all the staff have demonstrated both with B and her extended family is above and beyond.
H has loved his time at Broomhill and his time there has fully prepared him for the transition to primary school. I am so proud of the overall progress he has shown since starting with you. You could not have done a better job.
Broomhill has given both our children amazing, nurturing, happy and loving environments in there time here. We have never had any worries you all do a fantastic job.
Thank you for looking after J and teaching her so much. She has loved all the arts and crafts and her drawings have came on so much. We know she has been very happy at nursery and we’ve never had any concerns. J always speaks about the old people’s home and how they did a sing a long there for Christmas. I particularly liked the mother’s day breakfast.
H has loved his time at Broomhill. You helped him settle so well despite all the covid restrictions at the time. He’s flourished at Broomhill and we’ll be forever grateful for all the care and support he’s been given. His most memorable moments are the exploring the garden, baking and doing the taster sessions.
Thank you very much for taking such good care of N, keeping her safe and helping her become the sparkling 5 year old she is today! We are very grateful and you will all be missed. N deeply enjoyed the dancing session every Tuesday with Angela, but will always remember the Santa Grotto and Halloween family party. Our favourite moment was the graduation – what a show!
We will never forget how kind and supportive the staff are to our kids, F has had wonderful experiences such as graduation day and the lamb visit.
