Heritage House

Heritage House has 2 floors, for the children to learn, explore, play and socialise. The nursery is split into 2 classrooms, Rosebuds (6months – 3 years) and Treetops (3 years – 5 years). At Applepips Heritage House we work hard to provide a nurturing home from home environment for the children to thrive in.

Our nutritious snacks and meals ensure that young ones are kept full of good energy to keep them going during the day and our flexible childcare allows parents to get the best fit for both their needs and those of their children.

The setting benefits from a large outdoor space which is split into 2 areas, the older children (Treetops) get to make use of the large lawn area, where they get the opportunity to explore in all weathers. The Rosebuds have full use of the large, decked area in the garden where they get to enhance on their physical development daily.

The nursery is registered to care for 25 children at any one time and work by providing the children with well-planned enriching activities to support them on an individual basis.

Our fantastic team are all fully qualified and are passionate about providing good quality childcare for children aged 6 months – 5 years.
