December 10, 2024 at 12:10 amIt combines the Montessori approach with a very small scale setting to provide a nurturing and stimulating setting with a close-knit, family sense – all the benefits of a childminder setting with none of the drawbacks! Manor Grove is as close to my perfect childcare setting as you could get. 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 kids eat in sociable groups, discovering 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 team have accommodated with enthusiasm and creativity, liaising with our physiotherapist and occupational therapist who were equally impressed by the childcare centre.
The forest school provision is a lovely addition to the range of activities for the older kids and the setting next to farmland is ideal for the childcare centre’s focus on observing and interacting with nature. The kids go on walks, explorations, local visits and sense very connected to the surrounding village.
Both my kids have thrived at Manor Grove and I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

January 9, 2025 at 1:29 amThey are flexible, attentive and consistently brilliant with the kids. You can’t find a better place. They learn a lot through the Montessori system but also there is enough time to playtime. They have their own chef, so fresh homemade food every day. Forest School is every week with programmes and a lovely outdoor space where kids can playtime and relax. Staff are fantastic and lovely, consistently the right tone for the kids. It is not overcrowded like other nurseries. The childcare centre has plenty of space for kids to playtime.

June 29, 2025 at 8:04 amThe team are very welcoming and approachable. I would definitely consistently suggest this childcare centre, all 3 of my kids went there, it’s in a nice setting. All my kids settled in well there, this is over a 10-year span. The team are still almost the same. My boy that is currently there, you can definitely tell he’s cheerful there and is discovering things.
