Pittville Circus Road,
about us
Circus Day Nursery and Pre School recommended for quality assured day care for children aged three months to school age.
Circus Day Nursery and Pre School, located in a beautiful tree-lined road on the prestigious Pittville area of Cheltenham, offers a high standard of quality assured childcare to parents of children aged three months to school age.
Established in 1997, Circus Day Nursery has over the years achieved numerous awards, which recognise its hard work and efforts in making a positive difference to the lives of young children. We are proud of the longevity in staff service at the setting, showing dedication and commitment to their role as educators. Children are cared for in an elegant regency listed building which dates back to the late 1800s. With large, colourful rooms and a well-equipped garden with an all-weather surface, outdoor sunroom and protected canopy, children have the opportunity to learn, create and explore in safe, secure and stimulating surroundings and can free-flow in and out of the sunroom at their desire. This area has a viewing window so children can sit and observe the wildlife or simply relax and read a book.
Another amazing area the children love is the “SecretGarden”, an open wilderness space for children to develop their imagination. This is very much a child-led intiative. There is even a “secret key” which the children use to gain access. Every day is different in the secret garden, giving a wonderful opportunity to create a sense of awareness for the outdoor surroundings, and the evident stimulation has been outstanding.
Circus offers a programme of healthy eating which accommodates all allergies whilst educating children in developing good hygiene and table manners. Children are offered their 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily. The catering team pride themselves on the five star food hygiene award, which has consistently been awarded for the past four years. The chef is keen to share the recipes with parents, as many parents often comment how much better the children eat at nursery.
With a focus on building children’s self-esteem and confidence, the nursery provides a balanced variety of age- appropriate activities and experiences so that children can develop and learn based on their individual needs. With a key person in place, staff really get to understand the fundamental need to gain the trust and confidence of children in their care, and therefore listen and actively involve them in as many activities and decision-making processes as possible, from young babies to pre-school children. The children’s key person, develops a very close working relationship with the child’s parents to develop a sound partnership in the best interests of the child and to create a solid attachment bond.
The highly motivated team at Circus Day Nursery are dedicated to developing and expanding their knowledge and this is evident from the ongoing training. For added peace of mind, staff attend first aid training and child protection training amongst many other specific trainings relative to child development and ongoing research.
As children move through the nursery on a journey of experience and learning, they take their learning journeys to add all the milestones that take place in the child’s life at the setting. This objective and constructive feedback about children shares home/nursery life and staff are able to work with families and offer support whenever necessary.

Our daughter absolutely loves nursery. She learns new things daily and her imagination is able to be creatively nurtured through play and interaction with her friends.
My children have attended for three years. The staff are amazing and go beyond their job to make children happy and settled, and are great with parents. Could not be happier.
Staff are commendable and should be recognised for their outstanding work. Darcie settled in very quickly thanks to the wonderful staff team.

I just wanted to say how very impressed we are with your team at Circus. since my son joined the nursery we have seen a huge increase in his development and independence. He loves his nursery.
Thrilled with the standard of care Jacob has received. The support has been exceptional and it has been amazing to see him develop. A fantastic nursery with wonderful staff who genuinely care about the children and it has been a pleasure to be part of such a lovely family.
As a photographer I was commissioned to take some photographs of this charming nursery. I have a lot of experience with nurseries and pre-schools and can say that this is one of the nicest I have seen. The attention to detail to ensure that the children are happy is excellent. The variety of activities on offer within several separate rooms, the expansive outdoor play area, the friendly staff and not forgetting the forest school. Simply charming and whilst I was there I would have loved to have stayed for one of the crumpets being toasted on the open fire. Truly lovely.
Our daughter absolutely loves going to Circus Day Nursery. She has so much fun, learns new things every day and is able to be as creative as she likes. Her active imagination is nurtured and she has blossomed even more through play and interaction with her firends and all the fabulous girls who work with her on Jugglers (especially Poppy and Anya)
Circus Day staff greet us with smiles every morning and give complete confidence and peace of mind in the care they provide. My son has heaps of fun and lots of cuddels when he needs them.

I have two boys at Circus and my eldest has come on leaps and bounds in his learning and social skills. He loves going to Nursery especially to see Lauren who is his key worker. He has made good friends and continues to thrive in their care. The staff are very professional, enthustic, patient and happy with the children on Pre School One and we as parents are delighted with his progress.
A terrific combination of real heartfelt care, fun, smiley faces, passion and huge commitment to the children equals very happy mums, dads and guardians etc.
I have two boys that attend Circus. My youngest is 7 months and as I am still breast feeding him, the new feeding chair the Nursery have brought in has made it easier and more comfortable for me to do so. The staff are very flexible and accomodating, as I have to go into nursery a few times a day to continue breastfeeding him. Amy, Kerry, Anetta and staff are a very happy, enthusiastic and professional group and that makes it easier for me to leave my son in their care.
Harry loves the Circus Day Nursery. All the staff are so lovely and caring towards Harry. Just the best.
My son has been at this nursery for over 2 years and since he joined I have been so impressed with all the staff. They are genuinely caring, professional, enthusiastic and very patient. I have complete faith in them and would recommend the setting to any parents looking for childcare.
A fabulous nursery, from the moment we came to visit we knew this was where we wanted our son to attend. Great staff, wonderful care and environment. Our son is happy and even asks to go back when on Christmas break! He has many friends and loves the staff who are also very welcoming to the parents. Highly recommended.
He loves it here!! Always a big smile on his face. So many activities to keep him stimulated.
My daughter attended Circus from 6 months old to 4 yrs, it gave her a great start in life and more than prepared her for school. The staff were always professional, attentive and caring. Even now at the age of 7 she still talks about the fun times she experienced at Circus.
My daughters are always happy to come to Circus. My youngest who is just 2 enjoys singing about nursery and talks to her friends at home before she goes to bed.
Circus Day Nursery have made what I thought was going to be a horrific experience a fabulous one. My son Max loves his week here and hes made friends he'll keep forever. The staff are so friendly and caring and they love Max as much as he loves them.
