The Peter Pan Nursery was set up in 1969 by a doctor and a teacher who had special needs children of their own. They felt isolated and wanted to set up the nursery as both support for their children and for families with Special Needs children serving those in Stoke, Newcastle and other surrounding areas.

Since then the nursery has continued to thrive. The Peter Pan Nursery is unique within our region as we offer support to children with special needs from birth to five providing early intervention to help children develop to their full potential in a warm stimulating environment, with qualified experienced staff.

The children at the nursery have a wide range of disabilities which include Cerebral Palsy, Global Development Delay, Downs Syndrome, Autism, Speech, Visual and Hearing impediments as well as various other syndromes such as Retts, Dandywalker and Edwards.  

Many of our children are referred to us by consultants, psychologists, therapists or social workers whilst in some cases, parents with a special needs child contact us directly.

The nursery provides a happy, secure and stimulating environment where each child is valued and helped to achieve their maximum potential.

Mission statement

The mission of the Peter Pan Nursery is to provide a high quality nursery provision to children with special needs aged between birth and 5 years old. Also to provide much needed support to parents of children with special needs from birth onwards when no state provision is available and parents often feel at their most vulnerable.
