Welcome to Carousel Nursery & Preschool, Upperthong, Holmfirth!

Our objectives ensure all children in our setting have the best possible start with opportunities to reach their full potential in all areas of learning. We achieve a high quality provision through play-based and child-led learning opportunities. Our core values will encourage children to be respectful, caring, confident and tolerant individuals.

Your child’s safety and enjoyment comes first.

We want every child to be inspired daily by the world around them whilst feeling safe and secure in a setting with a dedicated team of staff.

We believe safeguarding is of paramount importance and promote healthy and positive outcomes for all children in our care. Through strong parent partnerships we provide a stable and consistent environment in which children feel empowered to develop their own opinions and beliefs.
