Bedford Greenacre Nursery

About this day nursery

Bedford Greenacre Independent School, formed from the merger of Rushmoor and St Andrew's Schools, opened its new Manton Lane facility in January 2025. This co-educational school nurtures individual potential from Reception to Year 13.

The nursery, however, remains at its original Kimbolton Road location, caring for children aged 4 months to 4 years. The school prides itself on a rich history spanning over 230 years, combining traditional values with a modern, state-of-the-art learning environment.

The 40-acre site, designed with sustainability in mind, aims to enhance pupil well-being through innovative design. Bedford Greenacre focuses on holistic development, moving beyond academic outcomes to foster well-rounded individuals prepared for a changing world.

A culture of kindness, empathy, and mutual respect is central to their ethos, where every voice is valued. The school is committed to supporting each child's unique learning journey, with tailored approaches for those needing extra support and those who are academically gifted, ensuring every student thrives.

The dedicated teaching and support staff are crucial to this mission, creating a safe and nurturing community. The institution also offers bursaries and scholarships to make its education accessible to a wider range of students.
