Stranmillis Day Nursery
Our purpose built nursery is based in Stranmillis overlooking the Lagan Meadows.
Our rooms are bright and airy, providing a welcoming atmosphere for children to learn, grow and thrive.
With large windows showcasing the beauty of nature, sunlight floods the nursery, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
The abundance of outdoor play areas further enhances the experience, allowing children to connect with nature and engage in physical activities that promote their overall well-being.
Whether it's running freely in the spacious playground or diving into imaginative adventures in our specially designed rooms, there is no shortage of opportunities for children to learn, socialise, and have fun.
At Belfast YMCA, we believe that a nurturing environment is crucial for children's development.
