Alphabet Corner

Alphabet Corner has been providing exceptional childcare and early years education since 1994, building on decades of combined expertise from its predecessor Alphabet Corner and sister nursery Apple Tree Day Nursery. Our team of 18 qualified professionals, including NVQ Level 3 practitioners and foundation degree holders, delivers child-centred care that exceeds OFSTED requirements through rigorous staff vetting and enhanced DBS checks. We offer a nurturing home-from-home environment across dedicated age-specific facilities, featuring sensory rooms, outdoor play areas, and state-of-the-art learning resources. Our curriculum combines structured educational activities with creative play to develop essential intellectual, physical, and social skills. With flexible session options from 7:30am-6pm, 51 weeks a year, we accommodate diverse family needs while maintaining a 1:8 staff-to-child ratio.

Parents benefit from transparent communication channels and regular progress updates, ensuring they remain integral to their child's developmental journey. Our proven track record shows children gain confidence through social interaction, achieving better school readiness outcomes. The nursery's recent refurbishment created vibrant, stimulating spaces that foster exploration and learning, including a dedicated baby unit with sleep rooms and sensory play areas. This combination of experienced leadership, purpose-built facilities, and child-focused methodology establishes Cherry Tree as Portsmouth's premier choice for early years education.
