Since opening Ofsted have awarded us outstanding in all areas
There are four parts to the organisation; the Manor House Nursery, the Manor House Forest School, the Kindergarten Woodland Nursery and Manor House Training and Development. It’s an award-winning place with a few titles in the bag so far; Nursery World UK Practitioner of the Year 2013, Nursery World UK Nursery of the Year 2014, and since day one, OFSTED has rated us as Outstanding in all areas. The Manor House Nursery Group is truly an incredible place where children start an education for life, not just preparation for school.
We have over 60 qualified and experienced staff, believing that child-care is a ‘vocation’ and not just a ‘job’. Our team of managers have been selected because of their unique skills, and their length of time at the nursery, which means they understand what different families and children really need.
Our qualified early years teachers organise activities based around stories, songs and rhymes, using role play to help build children’s understanding, and we know children thrive when relationships and bonds are built, bonds that we build through paired family workers. We are also very proud to employ male practitioners; they offer wonderful, positive role models for children. We employ a full-time SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) with her own room and specialist resources, great if a child needs a little bit of extra help or one-on-one support.
All our staff are paediatric first aid trained within 3 months of employment and are fully trained in safeguarding.
All in all, we are very proud of our staff, and it’s them who make Manor House Nursery so very special.

Following that, Sean worked as a Customs Officer for several years. He and Jayne converted their first nursery in 1999, and Sean has always been the ‘driver’ of new ideas and projects that have ensured Manor House settings are as high quality as they can be. Sean manages the land and buildings, the health and safety and finances and forward progression of all Manor House business.
With free early years education, some two year olds, and all three and four year olds, can have 15 hours at Manor House Nursery free of charge. Some three and four year olds are entitled to 30 hours free (please see below). Children can enjoy 15 or up tp 30 hours free of charge for 38 weeks of the year incurring no cost to parents at all.

You can use your 15 or 30 hours flexibly within our sessions, or hourly, and we also
accept childcare vouchers from the workplace.
To enable you to manage your annual household budgets, any fees incurred over and above the 15 or 30 hours free, can be paid over 50 weeks. Your child can attend term time only, (subject to availibility) or all year round, so for more information please ask at reception for costs and ideas that suit you and your child’s needs.
