About this day nursery

Manna House Day Nursery, established in May 1994 and operating from a purpose-built facility since 2003, offers comprehensive childcare for children from birth through to school age. Rooted in Christian values, the nursery is committed to providing a loving and accepting environment for all children, recognising each as an individual regardless of their background.

The nursery operates in close partnership with The Manna House Charity and Tamworth Elim Church, extending its support to community projects like the Tamworth Foodbank. Situated on Bamford Street in Glascote, the premises are designed with high safety standards and child enjoyment in mind, featuring rooms specifically equipped for various age groups in alignment with Department of Education, OFSTED, and Early Years Guidelines.

The curriculum is structured around the Early Year's Foundation Stage Framework, focusing on seven key areas of learning including Personal, Social & Emotional development, Communication & Language, and Physical development, among others. Manna House Day Nursery aims to work collaboratively with parents to meet the individual needs of each child.

Our ethos

As a Christian Nursery we believe that every person is a much-loved child of God and our nursery’s Christian ethos underpins all our values: We believe that all children are equal and individual regardless of background, education, race, colour or creed. We believe that all children have the right not only to learn corporately but also individually. We believe that each child has the right to be loved and accepted for who they are regardless of how others feel they should be. We accept the task of training, caring, loving, educating and teaching social skills. We believe that our staff should consist of people who have a commitment to the well-being and care of children.
