Give your child a truly incredible start at an Incredible Kids Day Nursery Ashby de la Zouch.
The Baby Room
The structure of our Baby Room is open plan and can accommodate children aged 12 weeks – 18months. It is uniquely and brilliantly designed into different areas including a safe crawl area for the babies and space to explore for the older ones. This ensures that all the children within the room are able to explore and develop.
With safety in mind, our Baby Room offers custom-made remote-controlled blinds (so no dangerous cords) and temperature control in each room, making our offering unique.

Library & Language Room
We have developed our own on-site Library and Language Room. Our Library is a fantastic environment to enhance our children's literacy development, enhance children’s speech & communication, learn new words, sounds and descriptions.
Our library includes a variety of children's books including some of our favourite authors. We incorporate lots of stories into puppet shows.
The room is accessible for all children here at nursery and is a perfect space for the children to explore; it is also a fantastic quiet environment for smaller group activities.
Sensory Room
To complement our Baby, Toddler and Pre-School rooms, Incredible Kids also offer a self-contained Sensory Room.
​
The stimulating, soothing, colourful yet tranquil surroundings of our Sensory Room which is dedicated to children of all ages (even our staff love it) allows rich and varied experiences enabling the exploration of textures, lights and sounds using their senses (sight, smell, sound & touch).
​
Sensory play provides enormous benefits for children; such benefits include:
+ Safe, secure & calming environment allowing children to relax and let their exploratory minds evolve
+ Encourage Social and language skills
+ Encourages Social interaction and awareness of others
+ Stimulates children’s brains leading to vast learning opportunities
