Why choose us?

Guildhall Feoffment Preschool and Nursery is an OFSTED – GOOD rated childcare facility (click here to view the OFSTED report), based in the town centre of Bury St Edmunds, overlooking Abbey Gardens in peaceful surroundings. We provide a happy and safe place where children aged from nine months to four years can learn, play and be themselves.

We have a purpose-built nursery, specifically designed to maintain a ‘homely’ feel, a safe and nurturing, engaging and challenging early learning community. We are committed to curiosity-led learning and development, where children can learn and achieve through open ended play opportunities, whilst developing independence and confidence, awe and wonder through their own curiosities.

Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement and Ethos have been carefully created. We feel that in order to create a happy and healthy home-from-home Nursery, we need to build a happy, healthy team. We want all staff and children to feel valued, respected and supported in a positive friendly community. We recognise every person’s special qualities and celebrate individuals’ uniqueness.
