Brilliant Babies
Beyond brilliant infant daycare and education for ages 3 months to 2 years.
If you’re searching for a warm, secure and inspiring infant daycare setting for your baby, our brilliant baby play spaces at Seymour House are designed with you, and your little one, in mind. Across each of our exceptional nurseries in Essex and Hertfordshire, we celebrate every smile, giggle and milestone, making those early years truly magical.
Safe, nurturing childcare in a home-from-home environment
At Seymour House, we know how important it is for your baby to feel comfy, secure, and totally at ease. From the very first day, our Early Years Educators tune in to your baby’s needs, mirroring your home routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s nap time, feeding or that special cuddle, we make sure every moment feels safe, predictable and caring. Our calm, cosy spaces are thoughtfully arranged to give babies the freedom to explore and the comfort to rest, with plenty of natural light, gentle colours and soft furnishings. It’s a true home-from-home where your child can flourish.
The Brilliant Babies team: caring, qualified, and friendly experts
Our team of Early Years Educators, Nursery Managers, Housekeepers and Nursery Food Champions are always ready to create a magical day for your baby. From the moment they come through the door, every child is greeted with warm smiles, gentle care and the right amount of fun.
Many of our staff have been with us for years, some have risen through the ranks thanks to our Early Years Apprenticeship Programme, so you know they’re passionate about what they do.
We’re proud to be Outstanding in every Ofsted category, including education, leadership and overall effectiveness, because we know how much that means for families seeking reliable, high-quality infant daycare.
Play, discovery, and education, the Seymour House way
Even our tiniest babies are curious learners. Through our unique 5Cs learning approach of Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Cooperation and Curiosity, we create engaging play experiences that spark brain development and encourage exploration with all the senses. From indoor sensory stations to outdoor play, every invitation to play is designed to nurture development while being fun and age appropriate. We also weave in elements of our Go Green Programme, helping little ones connect with nature from the earliest days, and our Hygge-inspired environments promote wellbeing through calm, cosy and joyful spaces.
Mealtimes that are wholesome, adventurous and oh-so-tasty
Nutrition is a big part of healthy development, so we serve tasty, balanced meals every day, freshly prepared by Nursery Kitchen. As part of our infant daycare, the team are trained to spot the signs of readiness for weaning and to support babies as they explore new textures and tastes.
Our mealtime experience is relaxed, unhurried and full of encouragement, helping to build positive attitudes to food that last a lifetime. And with kitchen gardens at our nurseries, even our smallest learners can see where their food comes from, sparking curiosity about healthy eating.
