Pop-Up Nurseries is a childcare provider with two settings in Northamptonshire. Our approach is warm, play-based and curiosity-led, with a focus on independence and nature-inspired learning, and our practice is rooted in early years development.
The two settings work differently, which may matter when you think about the hours you want:
Wellingborough is based at 178 Finedon Road, NN8 4AH. It is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm, for 51 weeks of the year, caring for children aged 6 months to 5 years.
Irchester is based at Irchester Village Hall, NN29 7AW. From April 2026 it runs on a term-time basis, following North Northamptonshire school term dates, from 8:00am to 4:00pm. It cares for children aged 9 months to 5 years.
Working patterns vary by role, so check each listing for the days and hours involved.
