Why Choose Sandytots?

BOOK A VISIT

Family-led care with 40+ years’ experience

Sandytots is a family-led nursery with over 40 years of experience in childcare. This brings a personal, thoughtful approach, where children are truly known and families are supported with care and continuity.

Space to explore and grow

Our spacious, secure gardens give children room to move, run and play freely. With space to breathe and explore, children feel calmer, more settled and able to grow at their own pace.

Learning through animal companionship

Caring for our rabbits, fish and tortoise is part of everyday life at Sandytots. These gentle moments help children develop empathy, kindness and responsibility in a natural, meaningful way.

Nature-led early learning

Through play, curiosity and hands-on activities, children meet EYFS milestones naturally. Learning is woven into real-world experiences, both indoors and outdoors.

What Our Parents and Carer's Say

Find out what our parents and carer’s say about their little one’s experience at Sandytots.

“Sandytots is without doubt the best nursery in Stafford! The genuine care shown by staff and tailored approach afforded to each child make it a truly special place for early years care, especially the emphasis on social/emotional development”.

“My son enjoys his time at nursery. His key worker is really great and seems very on top of how he is doing. I appreciate the photos and descriptions of some of the activities on Tapestry. Also whenever I’ve needed to get anything sorted with the nursery office, the response is always prompt and helpful.”

“My daughter loved every day at the nursery, she thrived. She had her own circle of friends, she was always talking about the staff and how they cared for her. We felt that she was safe and cared for."

“My son has always enjoyed his nursery days and I feel has flourished in a way he wouldn’t have been able to without the support. Exceptional nursery!”
