We believe it is a truly exceptional place for young children to learn and develop in a safe, caring environment. On this page, you’ll discover more about our nursery and our provision. The first steps in education are important for every child. At Mountford Manor Nursery, we introduce children to the world of education through fun and engaging activities. We focus on the individual needs of each child and help them to develop the foundational skills that are so crucial in early years learning. Our nursery is located on the site of our wonderful primary school, which ensures young children become familiar with the atmosphere of a school and spending time near older children. We’ve found this to be highly beneficial for children who progress from our nursery to our primary school, as they settle in quickly to familiar surroundings.
