Ashley Manor Nursery is open 51 weeks of the year from 8.00am – 6.00pm. We provide high quality childcare for children aged 9 months to 4 years, offering two sessions; 8.00am – 3.30pm (school day) or 8.00am – 6.00pm.
Children at Ashley Manor Nursery benefit from the Prep site, which is set over 45 acres of stunning parkland. The children use the many outdoor resources of the site, enjoying the outdoor classroom, school garden and regularly visiting the school farm with rabbits, chickens, and ducks.
We firmly believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support to fulfil their potential. A child’s experience in their early years has a major impact on their future life and provides the foundation for children to make the most of their talent as they grow.
Choosing a setting for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Not only is it essential that your child feels safe, confident and happy in their new environment, but you must also feel comfortable that their developmental needs are being met. At Ashley Manor Nursery children are cared for by expert Early Years Educators.
The Learning Journey
At Ashley Manor Nursery, we understand that education is just as important as care, which is why we seamlessly provide both. Our dynamic planning approach allows us to adapt to each child’s individual needs and interests, ensuring they remain fully engaged in their surroundings and the stimulating, play-based activities we offer.
We maintain a balanced approach, combining child-led play with adult-guided experiences, while encouraging children to explore and discover independently. Our flexible and enjoyable curriculum nurtures creativity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning in every child.
Environment
At the heart of our curriculum is creativity, which we believe plays a vital role in children’s development. Our learning spaces are thoughtfully designed with a range of open-ended resources, encouraging children to explore, investigate, and express themselves while working collaboratively with their peers.
Outdoor Opportunities
One of Ashley Manor’s greatest assets is our idyllic, rural location with the school stunningly located in 45 acres of parkland. Our children benefit from the sheer variety of exciting outdoor areas as well as the chance to connect with the natural world. Outdoor learning is one of the most important companions of children’s growth and development. Nursery children have regular access to our school farm, forest school area and extensive woodland.
