Our Cromford Road Nursery was opened in 1990 as the beginning of Clowns and has always had a special place in our hearts and many others whose families have had many happy years here.
In 2024 Cromford Road was re-opened after extensive modernising. We have installed Solar panels, heat source pumps and underfloor heating throughout the building as well as creating a curriculum and everyday tasks such as ‘grow your own’ for the children to learn all about sustainability.
