about us

Zig Zag Day Nursery was created in March 2012 with a simple aim – to offer something more personal than larger, corporate childcare settings.

As a family-run nursery in Peterborough, we focus on:

  • Building genuine relationships with children and families
  • Creating a calm, homely environment rather than a busy institutional feel
  • Being approachable, flexible and supportive wherever possible
  • Taking time to understand each child instead of following a one-size-fits-all approach

Many of our families tell us they chose Zig Zag because it feels warm, welcoming and personal, and because they know their child will be cared for by familiar staff who truly know them.
