  • The Mulberry Bush Waterlooville, Waterlooville
The Mulberry Bush Waterlooville is a purpose-built nursery designed to inspire curiosity, independence, and a love for learning. With its unique garden spaces and bright, open layout, the nursery offers a warm, close-knit, family feel where every child and family is recognised as an individual and supported with care and understanding. The passionate, highly trained, and long-standing staff team create an environment rich in meaningful experiences and tailored learning opportunities.

The most wonderful aspect of Waterlooville is the feeling of belonging, where your child becomes an integral part of a nurturing community where friendships flourish. Children and families forge bonds within the close-knit setting, forming deep connections with dedicated staff and the surrounding local community. Whether embracing returning siblings or welcoming new families, The Mulberry Bush cultivate a profound sense of belonging, ensuring every child feels safe, cherished, and empowered to thrive in all aspects of their journey.

Children flourish across three well-resourced rooms each featuring its own interactive sensory room. The secure outdoor area is thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and imagination, complete with a large sandpit, mud kitchen, and dedicated growing area.

For pre-schoolers, The Mulberry Bush prides itself on the strong relationships built with local schools along the way. This enables collaborative work, ensuring smooth, confident transitions as children take their next steps into education.

With onsite chefs, The Mulberry Bush prepare a nutritionally rich and varied menu each day, offering children freshly cooked, well-balanced meals that support their health, wellbeing, and energy for learning.
