About

Golden Valley House Day Nursery in Nailsea is well established in providing high quality childcare and education. Our aim at the Nursery is to create a relaxed, loving and stimulating atmosphere in which the children can learn and develop to their full potential.

Emma & Andrew McCarthy have been the owners of Golden Valley House Day Nursery since 2008. Emma has 20 years’ experience in primary schools as a teacher, deputy and head teacher. Andrew has an IT background and retrained in childcare before becoming a nursery owner.

Our Nailsea nursery is situated in the heart of the Nailsea community. Our setting has a large outdoor environment with its own Forest Cabin and River. Our setting houses babies from 3 months to 5 years. Across our setting, all ages of children are able to freely explore the play spaces of their choosing, working collaboratively on projects and interests.

We provide high quality support and care thus developing children’s personal, intellectual and creative talents, giving them a broad understanding across a wide curriculum using a balanced daily routine.

When children leave here they are well-rounded with independent learning and life skills enriched by a variety of experiences in the Nursery.

Our team are friendly, highly qualified and dedicated individuals, who are fun and inspirational!

Children can attend with us on a full or part-time basis. Government funding spaces are also available.

“We loved the nursery so much when we first saw it because it encapsulated so many of our own feelings about caring for children. We also loved the “home-from-home” cosiness that the nursery has. Since we have been here we have strived to build on the nursery’s great reputation by not resting on our laurels but continuing to find ways of improving – we are always interested in new ideas!”
