At YMCA Childcare St Margaret’s Road, Lowestoft, we offer nursery places for children between the ages of three-months and five years-old.

We are very proud of the excellent and friendly support that is provided at St Margaret’s Road, which has been rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nursery is split into two fully equipped rooms with everything needed to encourage and enhance your child’s learning and development.

  • Jellyfish Room is for children aged three-months to 2.5 years-old
  • Starfish Room is for children aged 2.5 to 5 years

Activities are always planned around your child’s interests and next steps, and may include messy play, books, role play, creative, construction, investigation, heuristic play, and sensory play. Your child will also have access to a large outdoor space, where play is encouraged no matter the weather.

In addition to the nursery, we also offer breakfast and after-school care for children aged four to 12 years-old, and holiday clubs for children between four and ten years, 11 months.

We welcome enquiries and visits from parents and families and encourage you to contact us or follow our Facebook page to find out more.
