“Some years ago now, when I was looking for childcare for my daughter I could not find what I was looking for. There were many nurseries to choose from but they all offered the same thing just to varying levels of quality but I wanted something a bit different. I had worked hard to get into a comfortable routine with my child and did not want to change it to match the nurseries routine – I wanted it done my way.

I wanted to remain the decision-maker in my child’s care and didn’t want her life at nursery to be dictated by a timetable that bore no resemblance to her needs. I wanted her to sleep when she wanted to, have her nappy changed when it was needed. I also needed flexibility around start and finish times; I discovered that I was not alone in my frustration and so the Red Brick Day Nursery was born. We opened our Welford Road, Kingsthorpe nursery in May 2016 and our founding principle of “Childcare Your Way” is something that I am extremely passionate about. I set out to create a welcoming and nurturing environment that really aims to provide bespoke, flexible childcare that puts your child first and meets your needs in every way.”
