More Than Childcare A Second Home
A family-centred day nursery in Earl Shilton where every child is known, loved, and trusted with the same care we'd give our own.
Built Around Your Child
Handprints Nurseries is a family of small, family-feel day nurseries, with Handprints Corby and Handprints Earl Shilton run by the same warm team. We share one simple belief across both settings: every child who walks through our doors deserves to feel safe, loved, and excited to be here. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.
Led by a Team Who Truly Cares
Every Handprints setting is led on the ground by an experienced Nursery Manager who knows every child and family by name.
"My team here in Corby knows every child by name and by nature; the songs they love, the corners they retreat to, the friends they seek out at the water tray. Come and see us any time; my door is always open."
"Watching a child find their feet here; that's the part I love. Whether it's a toddler's first word or a four-year-old reading their first sentence, we get to be part of those moments every day."
