šŸ‘‹ About Us

A nursery where children feel at home, and families feel supported.
At Heirs and Graces Private Day Nursery, we’ve been welcoming families from across St Helens for over two decades. Set within the historic Old School House in Dentons Green, our nursery offers a safe, stimulating, and joyful space where children aged 0–5 can grow, learn, and thrive.
We’re proud to be more than just a childcare provider — we’re a place where children are known, valued, and celebrated.

🌟 Our Mission

To provide a warm, inclusive, and high-quality early years experience that nurtures each child’s individuality and helps them build the foundations for a happy, confident future.


We believe in:

  • Kindness and care above all
  • Learning through play as the heart of development
  • Partnership with parents to support every child’s journey
Creative Learning Experiences

Foundation for Lifelong Learning

Our early years education focuses on essential skills and concepts.

Welcome to Heirs and Graces Day Nursery

We prioritise safety and learning in a welcoming setting.

šŸ‘¶ Child-Centred, Every Step of the Way

From our cosy baby room to our school-ready pre-schoolers, every space at Heirs and Graces is carefully planned with children’s wellbeing and development in mind. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with a play-based approach that fosters imagination, independence, and resilience.

Our team gets to know each child’s personality, interests, and needs — offering experiences that are engaging, age-appropriate, and meaningful.
