About Our Bracknell Day Nursery
Teepee Day Nursery is an independently owned, family-run children’s day nursery. It is located in a convenient, quiet location in Hanworth, near South Hill Park. We’re close to Bracknell town centre, just off the A3095, with good links to the M4, M3 and A329(M) and beyond. We have a car park, which makes drop-off and collection very easy!
Set on the edge of woodland, our day nursery is beautifully refurbished and full of large, airy spaces – perfect for happy children to play and learn! We’re lucky to have a woodland area in the nursery grounds, and part of the forest is just over the fence and past our large fully equipped garden area.

Our Ethos & Curriculum
Choosing the ‘right’ early years childcare provider for your child is one of the most important decisions that a parent can make. A child’s early years are crucial for their development and it is essential to find a nursery that provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment.
Understanding a nursery’s ethos and curriculum is essential when picking childcare. The ethos of a nursery refers to its values, beliefs, and principles, which guide its practices and policies. It is important to ensure that the nursery’s ethos aligns with your own values and beliefs, as this will ensure that your child’s needs are being met in a way that you feel comfortable with.

Meals & Nutrition
We place great importance on the food we serve to the children: breakfast, lunch, tea, as well as two substantial snacks. Mealtimes are a chance to learn social skills by eating together, as well as providing energy for the next activity. As soon as a child is able to sit up, they join the others at table.
All the meals are cooked from scratch and we really do sit down and eat as a ‘family’. We cater for allergies, and religious and personal preferences, and we have a five star rating for our food hygiene from the Environmental Health team in Bracknell. It’s the highest level there is. In 2016, Teepee achieved the Children’s Food Trust Outstanding Award. At the time, we became one of only 20 nurseries in Berkshire to have this rating. Adam Starkey, Chair of the Children’s Food Trust, said: “The Children’s Food Trust exists to protect every child’s right to eat better and so, to do better. Teepee Day Nursery sets a great example. Congratulations to the whole team.”

Teepee has such a friendly and family feel
I work in the holidays when I’m back home from uni. I came to the nursery myself when I was little and in turn I love being part of the children’s developmental stage and improving their future
It’s such a caring environment which is not only amazing for the children but for the team as well
