We have two welcoming and homely childcare centres at Cambria, Toybox at Deeside and Yale Nursery at Wrexham. We can offer you financial assistance if you need it. Read about both places and what they can offer you and your child below.
Here at Toybox Nursery, we want to make sure that both you and your child are coming to an environment that’s warm and friendly, which is why we’re proud to say we offer the best childcare in the most beautiful setting.
We provide ‘educare’ for children aged 3 months to five years, with a healthy mixture of learning and play. Our curriculum is built around areas to support and encourage your child’s personal, social, emotional, physical and intellectual wellbeing and development.
Each area within the nursery has a curriculum to follow, which includes personal and social development, language and literacy, mathematics, physical and creative development.
We have five rooms for five different age groups. The caterpillar room is for children 0-12 months. It’s full of conventional toys and holistic activities such as treasure baskets, bubbles, music and water play to encourage the babies to explore and enjoy their surroundings indoors and outdoors.
Our ladybird room is for children aged 12-18 months. There they’re encouraged to become more mobile through soft play, push along toys and more.
The children in the butterfly room (aged 18 months – 2½ years) are encouraged to communicate, play together and to find their voice together with shared activities such as baking and sand play.
In the bumblebee room, children aged 2½ – 3 years are given a wide range of learning opportunities through sand, malleable play, books, block play, exploratory play, role play and movement.
The children in the grasshopper room (3-5 years) follow The Foundation Phase, which allows your children to be creative, imaginative and to have fun whilst learning. This gives children skills to build on and develop ready for school.
Our opening hours are:
Monday – 8.00am – 5.45pm
Tuesday – 8.00am – 5.45pm
Wednesday – 8.00am – 5.45pm
Thursday – 8.00am – 5.45pm
Friday – 8.00am – 5.45pm
Toybox Nursery is open throughout the year except for Bank Holidays, one half day during July and one week at Christmas. Please note that if the nursery is open on Christmas Eve, the closing time will be 1.00pm.
We’re based at Coleg Cambria’s Deeside site. If you need to contact us please call 0300 30 30 007 or email us at toybox@cambria.ac.uk
We can provide a happy, safe, stimulating and caring environment for children aged 3 months to 4 years whilst you’re studying at the college. We understand the importance of your child’s development, providing a variety of activities, and fun filled days. We also know your child will have their own individual needs and we’ll work hard to meet them.
At Yale Nursery, we recognise and celebrate the diverse cultural and religious backgrounds of every child. Each child is cared for without discrimination and in an environment of respect. We welcome children with learning difficulties and disabilities, and we want to be confident that we can meet their needs. That’s why, where necessary, we will seek your assistance as a parent/carer, as well as our Additional Needs Coordinator and external agencies to ensure the best possible care is available.
The nursery has 2 outdoor play areas (including a herb and vegetable garden) and 7 internal rooms made up of:
We are open Monday to Friday, 8.45am – 4.25pm, during Grove Park site term times for students.

We don’t want financial difficulties to get in the way of your education. If you’re studying full time at Coleg Cambria (or want to), have preschool children and you are on a low income, you may be eligible to receive financial assistance towards the costs of childcare.
Please contact Student Services on 0300 30 30 007 for details of the Learner Support Fund; you can apply for assistance as soon as you enrol on a full-time course at Coleg Cambria. You and your child will both be in good hands with us.
