A homely little nursery in the heart of Preston.
Where babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers in Preston PR1 learn, laugh and grow — with caring staff who truly feel like family.
A second home for Preston’s littlest learners.
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.
Big learning. Tiny humans.
