August 18, 2015 at 12:00 amManor Grove is as close to my perfect childcare setting as you could get. It combines the Montessori approach with a very small scale setting to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment with a close-knit, family feel – all the benefits of a childminder setting with none of the drawbacks! Staff are warm, kind and experienced and there is very low turnover compared with bigger nurseries. Excellent quality home-cooked meals and snacks are provided and children eat in sociable groups, learning to serve themselves and each other, and to tidy up and wash their own cup.
My older daughter attended for preschool hours and I had no hesitation at all in sending my younger daughter when I returned to work. My youngest has some developmental delays and difficulties which the staff have accommodated with enthusiasm and creativity, liaising with our physiotherapist and occupational therapist who were equally impressed by the nursery.
The forest school provision is a lovely addition to the range of activities for the older children and the setting next to farmland is ideal for the nursery’s focus on observing and interacting with nature. The children go on walks, explorations, local visits and feel very connected to the surrounding village.
Both my children have thrived at Manor Grove and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

February 1, 2017 at 12:00 amYou can’t find a better place. They are flexible, caring and always brilliant with the children. They learn a lot through the Montessori system but also there is enough time to play. They have their own chef, so fresh homemade food every day. Forest School is every week with programmes and a lovely outdoor space where children can play and relax. Staff are fantastic and lovely, always the right tone for the kids. It is not overcrowded like other nurseries. The nursery has plenty of space for children to play.

August 9, 2022 at 12:00 amI would always recommend this nursery, all 3 of my children went there, it’s in a nice setting. The staff are very friendly and approachable. All my children settled in well there, this is over a 10-year span. The staff are still almost the same. My boy that is currently there, you can definitely tell he’s happy there and is learning things.
