About this day nursery

The Orchard Day Nursery, established in 1991, is deeply integrated into the Hanover community. It strives to cultivate an environment that feels both wholesome and homely, where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn.

The nursery promotes a lifelong love of learning by providing diverse experiences and opportunities, both indoors and outdoors. With a dedicated and varied team of male and female practitioners, Orchard Day Nursery focuses on creating lasting memories and fostering development before children transition to school.

They have dedicated rooms for different age groups, including babies, toddlers, and a pre-school, each designed to be bright, spacious, and stimulating. A separate pre-school at St Luke's, opened in 2020, specifically focuses on preparing children for their next educational step.
