Hi, we are a small family run Day Nursery, Firstly after many year of childminding opened Aunty Sue's Day Care we have worked hard to establish a good reputation, and through this and constant recommendation from parents the demand for places grew so we have now decided to open another setting Crocodile Rock Day care, working hard to keep that homely environment as much as possible but being able to give the children much more space to play, learn, be happy and to be safe and above all have fun.

We have a large secure outside play area, children can access this at any time with full supervision at all times.

Providing quality care at every stage, all children are cared for as individuals with all cultural and diversity needs being fully respected, we are fully committed to providing a care plan tailored to suit every individual child’s needs.

Every member of our team has experience of working with children of all ages each holding childcare qualifications, paediatric first aid trained, safeguard training.


Pop in have a look around and a chat anytime, we have an open door policy appointments are not necessary.

Returning to work:

Many parents who use a nursery for the first time are making the decision to return to work. At Crocodile Rock we recognise how hard this can be and we will help and support you and your child throughout their time spent with us
When it comes to providing the highest quality day care we believe that working closely with parents makes life easier for you and your child
