Welcome to The Heatons Preschool Group

At The Heatons Preschool and Day Nursery, we provide a warm, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired to learn. With two welcoming sites in Heaton Mersey and Heaton Moor, we offer high-quality care and education for children from birth to five years. We are open Monday to Friday, from 8am-6pm.

Our approach is uniquely personalised. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage through an inclusive play-based curriculum that builds confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning, while ensuring every child’s individual needs, including those with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), are fully supported.

Our Mission Statement

  • To provide high quality childcare in a caring, fun and stimulating environment,
  • To build the foundations for learning for each child in our care,
  • To foster excellent relationships with children and parents to best meet the needs of each child.
