Nursery (children)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A nursery, also called day nursery, is a care facility for children below school age, usually infants and toddlers (ages 0-4). It generally precedes nursery school (preschool). Depending on the approach of a particular nursery, there may be an emphasis on structured play, listening to stories, recognising images, and other developmental skills.
Generally in British English usage, nursery can refer to the children's room in a family residence. This usage has become familiar to readers of U.S. English through such classics of children's literature as J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan or movies such as Walt Disney's Mary Poppins.
