Hi, I'm Alyson, the Nursery Manager at Grimsbury Manor.

At Grimsbury Manor, we're proud to have an experienced and passionate team with a deep understanding of early years education. We know that everyone of our children is unique, with their own story to tell, which is why we tailor our learning approach to suit each of our child's individual pace and personality.

Inside our nursery, you'll find our children exploring, marvelling, and asking questions—developing a real love for learning. Our beautiful outdoor spaces are designed to spark curiosity and creativity, offering opportunities for both adult- and child-led activities that encourage imaginative play and problem-solving. Our children spend dedicated time outdoors every day, connecting with nature and learning through enriching, hands-on experiences.

Our recently refurbished nursery blends sustainability with history, preserving the charm of the original architecture while creating a warm, inspiring environment for our children to thrive in.
