Our nurseries

Our seven excellent nurseries are open Monday to Friday year-round, except for Christmas week.  We welcome children from three months until their reception year.

Broussa

Located on a quiet residential road in the heart of Hale’s conservation area, generations of children have loved their time at Broussa so much that they have returned with their children.  A short walk from the wild Bollin Valley, Into the Wild, Hale village and Pirate, Stamford and Halecroft parks, we enjoy a wealth of adventures in our local community.

Chester

Our Edwardian Grade II listed former school is light, airy and spacious, with an exceptionally large garden featuring a wild nature area. A five-minute walk from Grosvenor Park, Hoole and Chester City Centre, we enjoy exploring the wealth of learning opportunities that Chester offers. Popular with parents working in Chester, we have a  convenient car park and are a short walk from Chester train station.

Elmscot

Recently renovated, including a beautifully landscaped garden and large nature workshop, our spacious Victorian home is located opposite Timperley Sports Club and it’s surrounding wild spaces. We enjoy exploring there and nearby Timperley and Altrincham, Navigation and Stamford parks, plus trips further afield on the Metrolink, for example to the Museum of Science and Industry.

Hale

With green belt fields to two sides leading directly to the wild Bollin Valley, the under 5s ‘Pirate Park’ just a few minutes’ walk down our lane, and Into the Wild and Hale village within walking distance, we love to explore.  Our Grade II listed farmhouse is complemented by large gardens featuring a mini tree top adventure, and a convenient car park.

On residential Sugar Pitt Lane, our recently renovated nursery also benefits from a beautifully landscaped large garden featuring a bespoke play tractor.   Just a few minutes’ walk from the Heath, Tatton Park and Knutsford town center, we easily access a vast range of adventures, from exploring Knutsford’s rich heritage to deer spotting in Tatton Park.

Woodlands

Bordering green belt land, our tranquil nursery is located on a residential road within walking distance of Timperley village.  We enjoy exploring our local wild spaces, parks and the Timperley community.  With a convenient car park, many of our parents work at Wythenshawe hospital, just a 6-minute drive away along country lanes.

We knew straight away it was the nursery for our little girl when we stepped in and it had a home-from-home feeling.  The staff were welcoming and the children were happy and engaged in their environments. Our little girl is thriving.’ Woodlands Parent

  • ‘Highly recommend Willow Tree!! They have several rooms for the children to play in, a beautiful fun garden and separate dining room. The nursery has a wonderful warm, clean and homely feel. The staff and manager are super lovely and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for looking after our little boy so well.’ Willow Tree Parent

  • ‘My son loves going and has made lots of friends. He enjoys the different activities, such as forest school and class visits. The nursery is a very clean and safe environment and learning is promoted through a variety of techniques, so they don’t realise they are learning as they think they are playing.’           Chester Parent

  • ‘The best of the best in every single way – Facilities and space: each room has great developmental toys, the outdoors space/garden is very big (probably the largest compared to any other nurseries in the area) and plenty of green spaces nearby.’
