Where babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in Preston PR1 learn, laugh and grow — with caring staff who truly feel like family.


Tucked inside the Catherine Beckett Community Centre in Preston, Childsplay has been welcoming local families for years. We’re small, friendly, and proudly part of the Preston community — the kind of nursery where staff know every name, every favourite toy, and every cuddly comforter.
Our play-based days are full of stories, songs, crafts, outdoor adventures and lots of laughter. We follow the EYFS to help every child grow in confidence, kindness and curiosity.
Everything our Preston families love about us, in one place.
Gentle, loving care for our youngest from 3 months — with cosy routines and lots of cuddles.
Messy play, music, mark-making and outdoor fun designed for busy little explorers.
Confidence-building activities that get Preston’s 3–5s ready for big school.
Fresh air, mud kitchens, nature walks and seasonal adventures right on our doorstep.
Freshly prepared snacks and meals that fuel curious minds and growing bodies.
Regular updates and photos so you’re part of every milestone, big or small.
A snapshot of life at Childsplay — bright, warm and full of little moments.
