Meadows Nursery
Welcome
At Manor Meadows, we celebrate childhood as a time of curiosity, imagination and discovery. Our nursery is a place where children feel valued, supported and inspired to explore, learn and grow. Through child-led, play-based learning experiences, we encourage children to follow their interests, ask questions and develop the confidence to become independent thinkers and build a lifelong love of learning.
Our passionate team is committed to supporting every child as they build the skills, knowledge and resilience needed for the future. Surrounded by opportunities for outdoor exploration, creative expression and meaningful connections, children develop a deep appreciation for the world around them. Every moment at Manor Meadows helps children learn, grow and thrive. We invite you to begin this wonderful journey with us.
Children in our Meadows room will be assigned to one of our little flower groups with a designated key worker.
Our newly refurbished Nursery which is ready for opening in September 2026 hosts a temperature controlled sleep room, large learning area and an exciting outdoor space designed to help our little flowers learn through play.
