Yellow Wellies Day Nursery
Well-regarded independent day nursery on North Road in the city centre, offering childcare and a pre-school for babies through to school age.
About Yellow Wellies Day Nursery
Yellow Wellies Day Nursery occupies Avenue House on North Road, right in the centre of Durham and within easy walking distance of the bus and railway stations, which makes it convenient for parents commuting through the city. An independent, Ofsted-registered setting with a strong local reputation, it cares for children from babies up to school age across dedicated rooms and runs a pre-school to prepare older children for starting school, with a warm, homely feel and an emphasis on outdoor and hands-on learning.
It offers funded early-years places for eligible children alongside paid full and part-time sessions, and its central position suits families living or working in and around the city core. Being a sought-after nursery in a convenient spot, spaces can be limited, so it is worth enquiring early, arranging a visit and confirming current fees and funded-hour availability directly with the nursery.
