About this day nursery

Manor House Day Care provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for children, guided by highly qualified and experienced staff, some of whom are parents themselves. The nursery prioritises a smooth transition for children with complimentary "settling in" sessions to help them integrate and thrive.

Located at Lochaber Hall, the Day Nursery benefits from dedicated facilities and extensive outdoor areas, conveniently close to Manor House Gardens. The nursery is committed to offering affordable childcare, aiming to be competitively priced in the market.

They also fully embrace government-funded hours for two, three, and four-year-olds, ensuring that "free childcare" genuinely means no additional hourly rate subsidies are required from parents, distinguishing them from many other providers. This approach aims to make high-quality childcare accessible to all without imposing excessive financial burdens on families.

Tried to call up to ask about information on the nursery, the lady on the phone didn’t understand what I was saying , asking who I am when I repeatedly said I was looking for information in to my children starting nursery here. Had no idea on how to conduct a call in a manor that would be consoling for a mother to know her children will be attending here and just sounded rude and abrupt. Didn’t carry on with the call as I can only imagine the level of attention the pay with the children if they don’t even know how to conduct calls
