A warm, small-group nursery where first steps, first words and first friendships happen close to home.
Early Years is a local nursery built around a simple idea: little children do their best growing when they feel safe, known, and unhurried. Our rooms are small on purpose — so every child has a familiar face to look for, and every parent has someone who actually knows their child by name.
Days are built around play, fresh air and routine rather than worksheets and screens. Whether your child is taking their first steps or getting ready for their first day of school, our team plans around where they are right now — not a one-size-fits-all timetable.
Feeding and sleep routines built around your own, in a calm room with a dedicated key worker.
Messy play, movement and language, with the freedom to explore at their own pace.
Stories, numbers, creativity and friendships — the groundwork for a confident start at school.
Independence, routine and social skills, so the move to Primary One feels familiar, not daunting.
Low child-to-staff ratios mean your child is known, not just supervised.
Fresh Antrim air most days — wellies and waterproofs live at nursery.
Handy for Ballymena, Cullybackey, Broughshane and Ahoghill families.
Registered and regularly inspected through the Northern Trust Early Years Team.
“The first weeks matter most — for the child settling in, and for the parent learning to trust someone else with their world.”The team at Early Years
