STRIVING FOR OUTDOOR EXCELLENCE


​Located in Bridgemont on the edge of Whaley Bridge, we are lucky to have both a fantastic indoor and outdoor space as well as a small park area right next door.  Our dedicated team makes full use of these exciting environments which provide rich and diverse learning and development opportunities. We encourage the children to interact with each other and the world around them. Local professionals are organised to visit the children and provide additional stimulating themed activities on which we build and extend our regular sessions. Our objective is to maximise the fantastic resources we have to encourage inquisitive, receptive, independent thinking and learning.
Bridgemont Nursery’s underpinning philosophy is that children deserve to spend quality time in a well resourced challenging outdoor environment.

Ever increasing research shows that modern day children are not able to access the important experience of extensive outdoor play, and are therefore not be best prepared for their future learning.

Having made it her dissertation research subject for her First Class BA Honours Degree Elizabeth, our volunteer Early Years Coordinator, has taken the passion of Bridgemont’s commitment to outdoor learning to a further level. We really feel we have made an exciting environment vital  to the children's learning!

​“...Having Elizabeth constantly researching this subject and the sharing of her extensive knowledge with colleagues not only strengthens our philosophy, it gives us the tools to improve our teaching outdoors and empowers our belief that we are doing our best for the children in our care...”
