Our Story

Broomhall Under 3s is a thriving social enterprise at the heart of Sheffield’s community, offering exceptional early years care and education for children aged 0–3 years.

Founded in 2015, our nursery was created by a dedicated group of parents, educators, and local partners who shared one goal — to provide high-quality, affordable childcare that supports both children and families to flourish. Over the years, we’ve grown into a vibrant, nurturing setting where every child is valued, respected, and encouraged to explore the world around them at their own pace.

Our Ethos

We believe every child deserves the best possible start in life. That means creating a home-from-home environment where curiosity is celebrated, individuality is respected, and learning happens naturally through play, care, and connection.

Our values are built on:

Growing Together

From our bright and welcoming rooms to our secure outdoor garden, we offer spaces that encourage exploration and independence. Our experienced team, a number of whom have been with us since the beginning, are passionate about helping children build confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of learning.

We’re proud of our Outstanding Ofsted history, our Sheffield Healthy Early Years Award, and our strong reputation for excellence in early childhood education. But most of all, we’re proud of the relationships we build, with children, families, and the wider Broomhall community.

Broomhall Under 3s is more than a nursery, it’s a community where children take their first steps towards a bright and confident future.

Warmth and belonging, a safe, inclusive space where every child feels at home.

Learning through play, following children’s interests to inspire imagination and discovery.

Partnership with families, working closely with parents and carers to build trust and share each child’s journey.

Community spirit, as a not-for-profit social enterprise, every penny goes back into improving our setting and supporting local families.
