Secret Garden Nursery

We pride ourselves on creating a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a home from home—where children feel safe, valued, and loved. Our family ethos is at the heart of everything we do, built on trust, respect, and genuine care. With a strong focus on nurturing each child’s development and wellbeing, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Secret Garden

Nestled in a charming Grade II listed cottage on Haughton Green, Secret Garden offers a unique and welcoming setting for early years care. A thoughtfully designed rear extension, added in May 2003, enhances the space while maintaining the building’s character. To ensure peace of mind, the nursery is equipped with CCTV in each room, as well as cameras overlooking the large, secure garden—complete with both patio and grassy play areas.

At Secret Garden (Darlington) Ltd, our goal is simple: to provide the high-quality care and education we’re so passionate about.

With a warm, homely atmosphere, spacious outdoor areas, and excellent facilities, we create a nurturing environment where children can thrive—and where every nursery day is a happy one.

Our Rooms

We are able to take children from 6 weeks old within our Koala room and from here they move to our Cubs room at age 2, which helps with the next steps for independence before joining Pandas in our pre school room.    

Our setting focuses on each child's individual interests and uses these to ensure their holistic development is enhanced and extended.
