Manor House is an independent nursery based in a large historical building in which we have created a happy, safe and nurturing environment. The nursery offers a variety of motivating open-ended resources that inspire children to explore while developing their skills.
From our enormous, light-filled rooms to our expansive outdoor garden, it is the perfect environment for children to discover, play, and learn.
We believe children should be allowed to grow and develop in an ethical, innovative, and sustainable environment, inspired by their interests, while we draw on educational theory and the Early Years Foundation Stage to support their learning and development. We recognise the importance of outdoor as well as indoor play, and we aim to use our garden as a natural and open-ended resource, where children learn about taking risks and discovering new interests, whatever the weather.
Our indoor environment is also rich and welcoming and includes learning opportunities that follow the children’s interest.
Our philosophy for your child’s learning
We aim to create an inclusive and tolerant community that encourages children to build strong partnerships with adult s and peers by embracing their similarities and differences. We encourage children to be respectful, independent, and resilient individuals, enabling them to learn how to resolve their own conflicts, develop problem-solving skills and manage their own and others’ feelings and behaviours.
Our staff are trained to interact rather than interrupt children while they play, allowing the opportunity to reinforce positive language and social communication.
We engage and extend children’s understanding and, when they are ready, introduce new ideas using practical activities designed to encourage them to build on what they already know, to test out theories and discover new skills.
Early years are the foundation for lifelong learning; the skills, attitudes, and attributes children develop now set them up for their future lives.
