A charming and spacious environment with innovative nursery practices

Manor House Nursery is a day nursery unlike any other. We encourage our children to explore freely, to indulge in their curiosity and to develop without restriction in an enriching, nurturing environment. Under 2s start their journey upstairs, with access to the whole floor. This means they can choose which rooms to explore, which resources to engage with and which atmosphere best suits their needs.

Over 2s, meanwhile, are based downstairs and likewise have unrestricted access to all rooms, which are filled with stimulating, fun and educational resources, as well as places to rest and relax.

A huge, magical pre-school garden in Westbury on Trym, Bristol

True to its name, our nursery is an enormous Manor House equipped with huge windows, spacious rooms and an abundance of garden space at the rear of the building. The garden has a variety of natural areas, planting and trees and lots of other resources to explore.
Outdoor play is one of the most vital cornerstones for our approach to childhood education. We believe that giving children the freedom to explore the outdoors allows them to foster a sense of respect for the environment, to run around freely and to develop in a healthy, uninhibited manner. The children at Manor House Nursery are encouraged to use the garden every single day, from planting vegetables and playing games to simply enjoying the fresh air and exploring the natural surroundings.
