A friendly, family-owned nursery setting
At Awsworth School House Day Nursery, our infant nursery provides specialist care for your precious little one during those crucial first months and years. As a trusted newborn nursery in Nottingham, we create a nurturing foundation where your baby can develop, learn, and thrive through gentle, individualised attention that respects each child's unique personality and pace of growth.
​
Physical Development
From the earliest weeks, our infant nursery environment offers opportunities for your baby to develop strength and coordination. Supervised tummy time builds core muscles, whilst floor play encourages reaching and grasping skills. Our practitioners observe your baby's emerging abilities, celebrating each achievement and providing gentle support for continued progress.
Emotional Security
Each baby in our newborn nursery is assigned a dedicated key person who develops a special bond with your child. This consistent relationship helps babies build the secure attachments essential for emotional well-being and confidence. Your key person gets to know your baby's unique personality, preferences, and communication cues, ensuring truly responsive care.
Early Communication
Language development begins from birth, and our infant nursery creates rich opportunities for communication. Through nursery rhymes, gentle conversations during care routines, and responsive interactions, we support vocabulary building and understanding. These early experiences lay important foundations for language development.
Sleep and Rest Patterns
Rest is vital for infant development. Our newborn nursery provides peaceful sleep spaces where your little one can rest according to their individual routine. We follow your baby's home sleep patterns whilst gently supporting healthy rest habits, ensuring they wake refreshed and ready to explore.

A safe and nurturing environment
Those earliest weeks and months are a very special time, and we know that we’re very privileged when you, as parents, choose to let us help care for your baby. Our baby room is the perfect environment in which to provide that care; it’s a safe, warm, comfortable space that’s been designed to help your tiny one feel safe and secure.
We understand that leaving your baby with anyone else can feel daunting to parents, so you’re welcome to chat to the team and arrange a time to come and see where your baby will be cared for. We’re confident that you’ll go away feeling happy that they’re in safe hands.
Toys for babies
Even at this young age, children are learning, and learning fast! Everything babies experience becomes part of their learning journey, and we aim to encourage that in an age-appropriate way. Our baby room has a selection of carefully chosen baby toys and equipment for use in activities that will help your child to develop and learn. The baby room team will make sure that your baby has a wonderful time with us.
Meals in the baby room
Many of the babies we care for are still exclusively fed on breast milk or formula, and our team will make sure they get their feeds at the appropriate intervals. However, we’re on-hand to help with weaning when the time comes. All food in the nursery is freshly prepared on-site from quality produce, so your baby will be getting good food as they start weaning. We encourage children to sit together as a group for meal times.
