Welcome to
The Nest.
We offer a nurturing environment, taking time to settle in children at their pace, sharing with parents the culture of the setting. We offer plenty of opportunities for parents and families to give us their ideas and thoughts about what we are doing, day to day and week to week, in particular celebrating cultural experiences and religious events throughout the year. We send out parent surveys, invitations to family activities, workshops and have an amazing software platform which enables parents instant messaging to view photos and videos of their children in real time at the click of a button.
Our Nursery
We employ staff with a range of childcare qualifications and take on apprentices, interns and graduate students. We also welcome international students from Germany, America and Spain.
the Nursery is engaged in several programmes such as TFL Stars award, Bronze HEYL award.

Hatchlings and Owls
Hatchlings is our baby unit and Owls is our 2+ unit.
Our owls staff are very invested in working with babies and toddlers in both units who are navigating their way to becoming emotional resilient and developing their independence. The staff are experts in ensure that children are school ready, and they work very closely with the local primary schools, supporting your child as they make these important transitions.
Food & Meals
We are fortunate to have a trained chef who follows the Children’s Food Trust guidelines. We ensure the correct nutritional balance for the menus please feel free to request a copy. We send out a request seasonally for parents to suggest or request their favourite healthy dishes which reflect their culture and are familiar favourites.
We struggled for so long to find a nurturing, caring nursery that was child led, with lots of messy play and a large outdoor space in the area… we’re so happy that the Nest opened its doors."
