Welcome to Second Steps Day Nursery & Out of School Club – Colchester

Our Nursery cares for up to 43 children between the ages of 6 weeks old and 5 years old. We are open Monday to Friday 7am – 7pm all year round except for closure on public bank holidays.

The aim of our nursery is to provide a happy, homely environment for all children in our care with emphasis on individual attention and learning through play. Our philosophy is that a child should be happy, safe and healthy in a stimulating and educational environment. We aim to work in partnership with all parents to provide a service that will reach their individual needs.

The staff we employ are with us because of their genuine love of children, others are training ‘on the job’ and some have a wealth of experience with children during their life time. All staff are police checked, have references from previous employment and are trained in First Aid. Within our Nursery each age group has a separate room fully equipped with age appropriate toys and staff who have knowledge and love the age group they are working with.
