Brentwood Day Nursery

Welcome to Brentwood Day Nursery Inspiring independence, confidence and preparation for future lives

A Warm Welcome

Our nursery has proudly supported generations of families since 1974, under the dedicated ownership of Mrs Janet Torris. Today, she is joined by her daughter Rachel, granddaughter Jessica, and a loyal team of long-standing staff—all passionate about giving every child the very best start in life.

We work closely with families to provide care and education that’s tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our strong, long-standing connection to the local community is one of our greatest strengths.

Caring for children aged 2 to 5 years, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, offering a balanced, play-based approach to learning that supports every child’s development. We adhere to the EYFS statutory framework for staff-to-child ratios, often exceeding these requirements to ensure a consistently high level of care and individual attention.

Our nursery is in the scenic Old County Cricket Ground, with a extensive beautiful outdoor space for children to explore. We’re just a short walk from Brentwood town centre and the local train station, making us easily accessible. The building is secure, with a buzzer entry system and CCTV for added peace of mind. Inside, we have a spacious hall, and a cosy play area, both filled with natural light, providing the perfect environment for children to learn and grow.

We’re open year-round, apart from a one-week closure at Christmas. Our hours are from 8:30am to 5:30pm – Monday to Friday.

Our Ethos

“Inspiring independence, confidence and preparation for future lives”

We encourage a ‘have a go attitude’, where children are supported to explore, take risks,
and develop their independence, all while having fun!

Our Vision

Where every child feels safe, secure, and valued, with input from parents at every step.

With families, creating long-lasting friendships that extend across generations. We take pride in welcoming back past parents and pupils for work experience and ongoing connections.

Equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need for their next stage of education. Through activities like emotional development, language skills, and musical communication, we create a rich, inclusive learning environment for every child.

We believe that when children enjoy what they do, they engage more fully and learn in a way that will stay with them for life.
