What We Do

Pretty Windows Limited is a company which is dedicated to providing high quality, affordable and accessible childcare and education. This is the whole point of our existence and is reflected in the philosophy and ethos of our organisation.

Our History

Pretty Windows started in March 1997 to support children and families who live or work in the city of Nottingham. The owners who are parents themselves, each with 3 children, realised that there was a lack of high quality childcare and education in the centre of the city and invested a lot of money in completely rebuilding and equipping what had been dilapidated warehouses in the old Sneinton fruit and vegetable market. In this they were supported by City Challenge, now the Renewal Trust, a regeneration arm of Nottingham City Council and by the Economic and Development Dept. of Notts County Council.

This colourful oasis in the city centre became "Pretty Windows Day Nursery" which provides childcare and education of the highest quality for the benefit of those families who live and/or work in Nottingham.

In February 2005, Pretty Windows acquired Bright Beginnings, the only nursery in Edwinstowe, a village in the North of Nottinghamshire which is situated in the heart of Sherwood Forest, the home of the Major Oak which is the tree into which Robin Hood is believed to have fired his final arrow. This nursery has become "Bright Beginnings at Pretty Windows".

A Care-free Day the Pretty Windows Way

The motto of Pretty Windows is "A Care-free Day the Pretty Windows Way" and this catch-phrase encapsulates what we are all about. Parents can be free of care because they know their children are safe, secure, happy and well looked after and children can play and learn at the Pretty Windows centres without a care in the world.
