ABC Day Nursery has been registered since 2005. The nursery is situated in a purpose built building on an industrial estate in Bowerhill, Melksham. The nursery is arranged into three areas which include 'Ladybirds room' for children aged from three months to 18 months, 'Butterflies room' for ages 18 months to three years and 'Bees room' for three to five-year-old children. All rooms are on the ground floor.  
The nursery is registered on the Early Years Register. A maximum of 43 children may attend at any one time.
The nursery is privately owned and employ 13 members of staff, to care for the children. Of the staff working directly with the children, seven hold appropriate early years qualifications to Level 3, two to Level 2 in childcare, one has completed the Early Years Foundation Degree, and one that holds a level 4.

We pride ourselves on the high quality of our staff. 
Our programme of activities is wide ranging.  The children undertake a balance of free play, child initiated play and adult directed activities. All the planned activities are based on the following six areas of learning; physical development, language and literacy, creative development, social and emotional development, knowledge and understanding of the world and problem solving, reasoning and numeracy.
Your child will also enjoy  weekly multi sports sessions run by Barry our Sportzcoach.
 
We have a number of 'Green' projects one of them being the Wormery. The worms seem to devour anything we throw in; cooked food, uncooked food, even shredded paper – they love it all! We add the compost to house plants and containers, and use it when planting out new plants in the garden. Plus, the organic liquid produced gives our plants in the garden a real boost.
Water Butts -We aim to   reduce mains water use for economic and environmental reasons, and aid self-sufficiency. Children independently collect the water in cans and use it to water their plants and to clean the equipment.
