Choosing your place
We pride ourselves with being routed in the Sheffield community. That’s why our places are open to all parents and carers living, working, or studying in the wider Sheffield and South Yorkshire area. Both of our two main sites provide quality facilities for your children.
City Nursery is situated at the bottom of Granville Road (next to our City Campus), and is close to both tram and bus routes. Our 60-place purpose-built nursery is open 50 weeks per year from 8am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Hillsborough Nursery is located within the grounds of Hillsborough Campus with great access to buses and trams. This purpose built 40-place nursery is open 50 weeks per year from 8am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
We like to be as flexible as possible, so provide both full and part time options, and even try to accommodate occasional and temporary emergency places.
If your child is between 2 and 5 years, we can offer 30 hours free through the Government’s entitlement scheme. We can also offer holiday cover at our City Nursery for children aged 7 and under.
