What it's like
Children thrive in the nursery environment, which is tailored to their interests and developmental needs. Babies explore sensory baskets and smile and look to adults when they find light-up items. Older children develop their early writing skills when they use pencils to mark make. The supporting adults extend their learning even further by introducing scissors, which children confidently use to make patterns on their paper. Children are enthusiastic to learn and embrace challenge.

Children have daily access to the garden, where they learn to climb and safely explore the outdoors. Older children develop their physical skills when they run in the garden with their friends.
We've had 3 children at Manor House. There were some challenging times during covid, but Anna the manager has done an incredible job turning things around. The facilities are great, the large garden (particularly in the summer) is fantastic. The staff have been great at understanding what our children have needed to settle and then thrive at nursery. They are very approachable and the communication with parents is always excellent. The children are so well looked after there. I would highly recommend it - thank you team!
Read on GoogleOur son has attended Manor House Nursery since he was 1 year old, right up until he starts Reception, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He has truly thrived here — we’ve seen massive development in his confidence, independence, social skills and learning over the years. He has also made lots of lovely friends, which has been so special to see. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive and affectionate, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about each child. There are always lots of engaging, well-thought-out activities that support learning through play, creativity and exploration. The setting itself is wonderful, especially the large garden, which gives the children plenty of space to play, explore and enjoy the outdoors. We have always felt reassured leaving our son at Manor House, knowing he is happy, supported and so well looked after. We highly recommend it.
Read on GoogleMy daughter has attended Manor House since she was a baby and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are friendly and always so approachable. The staff are fantastic with my daughter and the Manager is often available at pickup and drop off which is great to see. When my daughter moved from baby room to toddlers the transition was so smooth because the staff were amazing. The nursery building itself is spacious and there is plenty of room for the children to explore. The outside area is so lovely and large and my daughter is out there all the time. They do trips out of the setting and have regular parents evenings. I would thoroughly recommend Manor House as a nursery setting. We made the right choice.
Read on GoogleMy son started at Manor House last year having been unhappy at his previous nursery. He settled quickly with the help of the lovely staff and has enjoyed every day he's spent there! The garden is an incredible asset, allowing him to be outside and exploring no matter the weather. The staff arrange new and engaging activities every day, whilst also encouraging and nurturing independence from the children. The food provided is always great and we're kept up to date with what he's eaten via the nursery app. The staff are kind, patient and fun. Karen is the best keyworker we could hope for! We're grateful that staff enjoy their work and are consistent. Having the same team really keeps the children feeling safe and settled.
Read on GoogleWe absolutely love this nursery. The staff are excellent and communication has always been fantastic. The staff are very approachable and easy to get in touch with, and they’re always happy to make time to speak at drop-off and pick-up. Messages are replied to quickly, which is really reassuring as a parent. Both of our children took some time to settle in, and the staff couldn’t have done more to support them through the transition. They show genuine care and kindness, and it really shows — our children now regularly come home talking about how much they love nursery. The garden area is an excellent space, with clear ongoing investment and development. There are lots of engaging activities every day, and our children often come home proudly bringing artwork and creations with them. We feel very lucky to have found such a supportive and nurturing environment for our children.
