About Ace Nursery

The nursery started life as an After School Club in 1995 and a year later was successful in obtaining funding from the National Lottery to develop its services and keep going. This money enabled the Club to eventually become a full day nursery and we now have places for up to 74 children from birth to 11 years old registered with us.
