Our nursery

Our recently renovated nursery has beautifully calm, contemporary natural interiors. The recently landscaped garden features play equipment by a Timperley craftsman, an allotment flourishing with produce to eat, and a nature workshop for messy activities with natural materials such as pottery, woodwork or planting seeds – an invaluable additional learning area for fostering curiosity, investigation and creativity.

We explore

Conveniently located within walking distance of Timperley, Altrincham, Timperley Brook, several local parks and the Metrolink, we enjoy a wealth of exciting trips out. From pond dipping, tram rides to the airport and visits to the Science and Industry Museum, we love to explore. Extra-curricular activities include yoga, forest school and Jittabugs .

Our Community

From shopping at our local greengrocers, to visiting the library and Timperley aquatics or developing cross generational links at …. nursing home, we engage with Timperley’s community, enabling children to learn about their world, enhancing their sense of belonging. We enjoy giving back too, from donating to food banks to litter picking in our local community.
