Meet Our Nursery Manager

Jodie Price

Hello, I am Kym and I have been part of Hucknall Day Nursery since 2003. I began my childcare journey as an apprentice, completing my Level 2 qualification before progressing to Level 3 and, later, achieving my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of supporting so many children and families during some of the most important years of a child’s life. I love watching children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and discover the world around them. Being a part of those early years and helping children thrive is what makes my role so rewarding.

Having lived in Hucknall for many years, I am incredibly proud to work in a nursery that plays such an important role within the local community.

We have built strong relationships with generations of families, and I am passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, happy, and valued every day.

My door is always open for a chat, whether you would like to discuss your child’s development, share feedback, or simply get to know us better.

Our Curriculum

At Hucknall Day Nursery, we believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides a solid foundation for children to become lifelong learners. We are passionate that all children reach their full, unique potential alongside their peers. Our aim is to equip children with their own ‘essential toolkit’, so that whenever they leave us, they are ready for their next stage of education. We make our children feel safe and secure enabling a positive and confident attitude to learning. We see our nursery as an extension of your family and want to give children a welcoming, caring, nurturing environment in which to grow and learn. We see every child as in individual and underpin the fundamental British Values into all aspects of our play.

Overall, we have had an amazing experience at Hucknall Day Nursery. From my eldest child to my youngest, who is now heading into her final year of preschool, it has been wonderful to watch them develop, grow, and thrive during their time here. Seeing their progress has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling, thanks to the guidance, care, and support provided by the fantastic team. We are truly grateful for all they have done to help our children flourish.

Review of Hucknall Day Nursery

I honestly cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. Life can sometimes feel like a roller coaster, with so many things changing from day to day, but dropping my daughter off here is one of the few things that gives me complete peace of mind. It has become a real source of reassurance and stability for our family, and knowing she is in such safe, caring hands makes all the difference. Every single member of staff has been kind, welcoming, professional and genuinely caring. They have created such a warm and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn, play and grow. My daughter absolutely loves coming here, and seeing how happy and excited she is each day reassures me that she feels safe, loved and valued. Thank you to all of the incredible staff for everything you do. Your kindness, dedication and hard work are truly appreciated, and I couldn't ask for a better place for my daughter.

I attended the Mother's Day afternoon tea the nursery and it's such a lovely experience to be able to share that with my little girl. She gets so excited when I'm able to visit and real care goes into these special events like mother's day, Christmas etc.

Review of Hucknall Day Nursery

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our two children have received at the nursery. Our eldest has been attending since 2022, and watching both of our children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and reach important milestones has been amazing. The dedication and genuine care shown by all of the staff have made such a positive difference to our family. The nursery provides a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where our children are always excited to attend. It's clear that every member of the team genuinely cares about each child as an individual and goes above and beyond to support their learning and wellbeing. A special mention has to go to Kym. She is always so friendly, welcoming, and approachable. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and she's always available to talk whenever we have a question or need reassurance. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine passion for what she does are evident every day.

Review of Hucknall Day Nursery

Our daughter is leaving Hucknall Day Nursery and will be starting school in September. She's had 4 great years at Hucknall Day Nursery, made even special by their Graduation Event to celebrate the achievements of their Rising 5's. The moment was marked with songs, balloons and an afternoon garden party. Thank you for a great send off! She will miss everyone when she starts big school!
