ALVASTON
WELCOME TO OUR NURSERY
Since opening in January 2013, The White House Nursery Alvaston has been dedicated to creating a safe, fun and nurturing environment where children can grow, learn and develop the skills they need for the transition into school life. The nursery operates from a beautifully renovated two-storey detached house with a cosy single-storey annex in the Alvaston area of Derby. Our carefully designed spaces provide a warm and stimulating setting where children feel confident to explore, play and discover.
​
We are an all-year-round nursery providing high-quality childcare for children aged 0–5 years. We accept government funded hours and Tax-Free Childcare, helping families access flexible and affordable early years education. The nursery benefits from air-conditioned rooms, CCTV throughout the setting, and secure facial recognition entry systems, giving families peace of mind that children are cared for in a safe and secure environment.

WHY CHOOSE THE WHITE HOUSE NUSERY?
EXPLORE OUR ALVASTON NURSERY
BABY ROOM (O-2 YEARS)
The baby room is a very relaxed and calm environment, where staff become acquainted with each child to understand their individual personalities. This allows the staff to tune into the babies' needs sensitively, providing a wonderful enabling environment for babies to learn, challenge them to explore and investigate many new things. Outside, the baby unit has full use of a lovely rooftop garden - meaning the little ones can enjoy all the sounds and smells of outdoor play while maintaining a safe and secure environment in all weathers.
TODDLERS (2-3 YEARS)
As children move on from the baby unit into the Toddler group, the White House Nursery teaches all children how to use basic manners, helping them learn to play cooperatively from an early age, and encouraging them to share and take turns with others. Our toddler unit also features a bathroom to encourage independence and self confidence.
PRE-SCHOOL (3-5 YEARS)
The indoor environment for the pre-school is mentally stimulating, with appropriate toys and educational materials to help all areas of learning and development for each child. All children are free to move from area to area, including outdoors at their own pace as we operate a 'free flow' system.
OUTDOOR AREA
The fantastic, fully enclosed outdoor area has been specially landscaped to meet the children’s needs. Including an outdoor classroom and a small allotment for the children to plant their own food and learn about nature. Our 'communication friendly' spaces of the garden focus on supporting speaking and listening skills, emotional well-being and general engagement. The dens allow the children to have spaces which are calm and relaxing that they can go to, to enjoy a story or some peaceful time. The babies also have their own roof garden which enables even our youngest children to enjoy outdoor play safely throughout the year.
