Why Diggle Day Nursery?
A Place to Grow, Discover & Shine
At Diggle Day Nursery, we believe that the earliest years of a child’s life are the most important. That’s why we’re committed to creating a warm, loving and stimulating environment where every child can thrive. Our dedicated team of professionals works closely with families to provide exceptional care and learning opportunities tailored to each unique child. We don’t just look after children, we nurture them, celebrate them, and help them take their first steps towards a confident and happy future.
About Us
At Diggle Day Nursery, children come first in everything we do. Our setting is designed to be a welcoming, safe and joyful place where children are encouraged to explore, discover and grow. We treat every child with kindness and respect, ensuring they feel valued and secure as they learn.
Our team has been carefully chosen for their passion, experience and genuine love of working with children. Each staff member undergoes rigorous background checks, including health assessments, police clearance and reference verification, to give you peace of mind.
Why Choose Us?
We don’t just prepare children for school, we prepare them for life. At Diggle Day Nursery, we foster a lifelong love of learning through play, creativity and meaningful connections. Our aim is to give every child the best possible start, helping them build the skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential.
With over 10 years of proud service in the heart of Diggle, we’ve become a trusted part of the local community. Many of our families have been with us for generations; a testament to the nurturing, high-quality care we provide.
We’re also proud to be part of the Prosperity Childcare family, a group of eight nurseries across Rochdale, Middleton, Burnley, Clayton-le-Moors, Rishton and Langho. Each nursery shares the same child-centred ethos, commitment to quality, and close partnership with parents because we believe families are a child’s first and most important educators.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to offer outstanding childcare and early education that supports every child as an individual. From their very first day with us, your child will be welcomed into a safe, stimulating and caring environment that helps them grow in confidence and independence.
We recognise that no two children are the same — and that’s something we celebrate. By nurturing their interests, encouraging their curiosity and supporting their emotional development, we help each child build the strong foundations they need for a happy and successful future.

What Our Parents Say
Absolutely wonderful nursery. I viewed 3 local nurseries and nothing compared to Diggle Day. The staff are so creative and full of fun ideas, my little one had never been away from me and I was so worried about leaving her. The nursery was so helpful, with lots of feedback and support. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough!
We have loved Diggle Day Nursery, so much so, that our third child will soon be starting! They get to know every child as an individual and provide so much care and guidance. Learning is focused on each child’s interests, and because of that, we have seen our older two flourish. Fantastic provision with a family feel!
My little girl has attended since 14 months old, she is now 3. Staff are attentive, they have supported my child’s learning and feedback regularly. My daughter has thrived here and we would recommend this nursery to anyone. Overall, a nurturing, homely and supportive setting.
The best nursery! The staff are very knowledgeable and confident in their roles. My little boy has settled so well, you can see that his confidence and independence come on so much since going. He is thriving. The staff will also set up activities around your child’s interests in their focus weeks, and you will get a detailed write-up and photos on how your child has done at the end of the week. You will get regular updates in the day, which is a bonus, seeing what your child has been getting up to. The staff will always give you an in-depth handover when you pick up your child on how they have got on in the day.
We have had such a lovely experience so far with Diggle Nursery. Our daughter has been attending for nearly a year and her speech and social skills have come on leaps and bounds in that time. She goes in happily each morning which is a testament to the relationships she’s built with the staff. The nursery regularly comes up with new and interesting activities for the children. I have no concerns about how well she is cared for and the staff genuinely seem fond of her. We receive updates each day on her food, sleep etc and photos now and again too! It’s such a relief to find somewhere where we feel she is safe and well looked after.
My child has always enjoyed this nursery, they go in happy and come out happy. The nursery is always willing to help with any issues we may have and very supportive of me and my child. Fabulous nursery, very excited to see my child progress through until school.
The best nursery! We literally have nothing bad to say about Diggle Day Nursery! We have two children that attend the setting and both of them are absolutely thriving. They love to attend nursery and this makes us so happy. The staff are so accommodating and make you feel like a member of the family instantly, their relationships with every single one of the children is so heartwarming and personal. The nursery is fantastic at parent involvement with stay and plays, Christmas shows etc, but also at an every day level when they give really good in-depth handovers. The food that is served at nursery is excellent and smells delicious every day when we drop off. We just can’t thank every single member of staff enough for the care and attention they give to our children!
Our little one is thriving at Diggle Day Nursery. We couldn’t ask for more from the staff who are all friendly, kind and confident which reflects onto the children. There are always creative activities for children to get involved with and a focus on playing outside in the fresh air. The nursery has a real family feel, our little one gets to try all kinds of different and delicious foods, and there are lots of opportunities for parents to get involved through stay and plays, regular updates on your child’s daily routine and things they are enjoying in the app. We are really pleased we decided to send our little one here.
