Precious Times Day Nursery
Precious Times at Brandhall - Edinburgh Road
We are incredibly excited to show off Precious Times Preschool’s new location!
Our purpose-built nursery building is a safe, secure and easy to access location, based within the beautiful grounds of Brandhall Primary School.
​
The building boasts two large, open plan nursery rooms, filled with amazing resources for the children to explore, learn and play with.
​
Each room has its own age appropriate bathroom to aid toilet training and assist with teaching the children the importance of hand washing throughout the day.
​
Sensory Room
The nursery has a designated sensory room, which is a calm and inviting space designed to stimulate curiosity and support development. With adjustable lighting, soft textures, different musical sounds and interactive sensory equipment, the children can use this space to explore safely and discover their senses.
​
The sensory room can also be a therapeutic space for children, assisting with regulation, focus and relaxation. The room can be used for one-to-one care or in small groups to support the emotional and physical development of our children in a safe and comforting environment.
Nursery Pet
At Precious Times Brandhall we have a pet hamster who lives on site called Freddie!
​
The children help us keep Freddie safe and happy by keeping him fed, watered and clean, whilst Freddie helps the children start to understand the lovely bond that children can have with animals.
Freddie regularly joins in with story time or outdoor play in the baby garden!
​
Caring for and learning about animals help the children build confidence, responsibility and empathy, all whilst having fun watching Freddie practising his jumping!
We make use of an interactive app which parents can access 24 hours a day to receive live time updates about what our children have been up to during the day! This includes photographs and videos of our amazing activities, so you don't have to miss out on the fun we are having.
​
It also provides updates on meal times, nap times, nappy changes and toilet trips, so you can be reassured that your little one is receiving the best care whilst you're away.
Food Provision
Our children’s food is provided by food provider “Tiny Tasters”. They deliver delicious and healthy hot meals to the nursery site every day.
Their menu is available for parents and carers to view, but offers a large variety of nutritious meals that allow the children to discover new textures and flavours whilst eating healthily.
​
We also cater for all allergies and dietary requirements.
Outdoor Space
The setting also has two incredible areas of outdoor space consisting of grass, astro-turf and patio areas with undercover zones, allowing us to enjoy learning outside in all weathers! We have an abundance of climbing apparatus, construction resources and trikes, bikes and scooters for our children to play with!

Our activities encourage their development in language, phonics, problem solving and independence, helping to build their confidence for the next stage in their learning journey.
