Manor House Nursery

My daughter has attended Manor House nursery for over a year. Ever since my first visit to Manor House, I was completely reassured by how lovely the staff were and how attentive they were to the children in their care. My daughter loves going to nursery and has been shown great kindness from her teachers. She has thrived in their care and has come on leaps and bounds both socially and academically. The class sizes aren't huge, which means my daughter has been able to become great friends with lots of children across the nursery/kindergarten setting and she also benefits from lots of 1:1 activity time with her teachers. I'll also be sending my youngest daughter to Manor House nursery when she turns 2!

Manor House School Nursery has given our son the most fantastic start. The staff are experts in EYFS, ensuring that all children receive outstanding care and attention whilst encouraging them to develop their curiosity about the world around them. The curriculum is varied lots of fun and our son comes out every day excited to share what he has learnt. There is a strong emphasis on phonics and numeracy as they get ready for Reception equipping pupils with a firm foundation as they start school. Each week pupils have the opportunity to attend forest school, swimming, yoga, the school library and much more. We chose Manor House as we were impressed with the way the different age groups are catered for. Our son started in nursery, then moved to upper nursery when he turned 3 and is now in kindergarten as he gets ready for school in September. This is a wonderful nursery with inspiring teachers and our son always has a huge smile on his face.

My daughter recently moved to Manor House Nursery and is thriving in comparison to her previous setting. Most importantly, she is incredibly happy and looks forward to attending every day; the environment is also beautifully clean and safe.

She is flourishing thanks to the exceptional care she receives, learning through play with creative experiences that develop her numeracy and literacy skills. Her days are well-balanced with outdoor time, one-to-one teacher attention, and a mix of small and large group activities. I also love receiving the frequent updates throughout the week, which allow me to see what she is doing and support her learning at home. It is a truly magical environment, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you to the entire team for giving my daughter the best start in life!

Manor House is a wonderful nursery - it is in a beautiful setting in lovely wider grounds of Manor House, it has the most caring and nurturing staff & our little girl is thriving in their care. They children do a huge variety of activities each day and I'd highly recommend this nursery to anyone else looking in Bookham.

We have mainly had a good experience with this nursery. Our childs development has come on, she enjoys going and the staff are friendly

Only drawbacks are issues with billing and uniform being lost despite having name tags stitched in.

My daughter loves going to this nursery, the staff are amazing and she is even learning how to swim and to speak French. I am more than happy for her to be attending this nursery, it is 100% worth the money and I wouldn't choose anywhere else to take care of my child.

My son has been with the Nursery since April 2021. All the staff are friendly and helpful, the learning environment is varied and my son really enjoys his Nursery days. I have regular updates on his progress. His confidence and language has developed so much. I really couldn't recommend the Nursery enough.

We have been blown away by every aspect of the nursery from the start. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, we could not ask to leave our son in safer hands. Alongside the care, the array of activities on offer is varied day to day, and they get to know your child and develop them as an individual. My son comes home so excited each day. I would highly recommend Manor House nursery.

Since joining Manor House in January, we have been delighted with the care that our daughter is offered and the progress that she is making. She settled into the nursery very quickly and her days are filled with so many different activities and experiences. The staff are excellent and go above and beyond to ensure all of the children are happy and building in confidence every day! The facilities and outdoor space are far better than any of the other settings we have visited. Choosing a nursery for your child is a huge decision and I have no doubt that we have made the best decision to start our daughter on her learning journey.

We also appreciate the flexibility. It's one of the only nurseries in the area that fits in around a full-time 9-5 job but if I'm free to pick him up early then I can.

My son started with Manor House Pre-School in January 2023. With any new setting for your child, you worry about how they will settle in. My son has absolutely loved it. The teachers and staff are warm, caring and very knowledgeable in supporting young children in these crucial early years of development. You get detailed weekly reports, photos and videos on what they have been up to. Also, the general communication between you as parents and the school is great. I really like that it is a mixture of free play and educational classroom-type activities. My son's language and numeracy have come on leaps and bounds in the past few months. The most amazing thing is the setting. Excellent facilities and I love the fact that lots of activities are outside in a big playground or in the forest school/dell. We couldn't be happier, we would highly recommend this setting to local parents.

Our experience with Manor House Nursery has been nothing short of fantastic. We actually moved our son from another nursery where we really struggling with him settling in. It certainly wasn't a decision we took lightly as we were concerned that moving his nursery might unsettle him further. Fortunately, our worries were unfounded as we found our son settled in quickly and has been extremely impressed ever since. His vocabulary has improved significantly and he looks forward to going to school each day and always has a considerable amount to talk about when he returns home including an explanation of the plethora of activities that have gone on the day. The school's communication is fantastic, we find there is a regular update on his progress as well as explanation and updates on the activities upcoming etc. The team have been brilliant and we certainly are very pleased with our decision to move nurseries.

We have recently joined Manor House and couldn't recommend it enough. The onboarding processes were streamlined and thorough, ensuring the nursery and staff knew as much information as possible about our children, from the important things such as allergies, to their favourite toys, books and songs! The days are structured with a variety of activities such as music lessons and cookery. Everyone is very friendly, the facilities are outstanding - it is just a fantastic setting and couldn't recommend it enough.

My daughter started nursery in September and has been very happy. The staff are wonderful-they are caring and kind and make her so welcome. The activities they undertake are fantastic and have helped my daughter develop in confidence and improved all areas of her learning. We couldn't be happier with Manor House.

I would highly recommend Manor House Nursery. The staff are very warm, caring and hands on, they support each child as individuals and offer many different activities throughout the course of the week. My son absolutely loves going to nursery and always comes home full of exciting stories from his day.

I'm only sad that our son will have to leave in the summer to go to reception, whereas his older sister has been able to stay on at the school!

We are so happy with Manor House Nursery. I have twins at the nursery, I can't believe how much they have developed in such a short time. They have learnt so much and love going in. We get weekly updates so can see videos or pictures of what they do, there are so many learning activities and fun tasks they do each day. All the ladies who work there are so nurturing and kind, we are so happy our little ones are being cared for and learning so much along the way.

Fabulous nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming whenever I visit the school, whether it is to collect my grandchildren or to attend open days and displays. The adult to child ratio seems very high so the children all get lots of attention and I have been amazed by the way my grandchildren have both flourished here, making great progress while being really happy.

My experience of Manor House Nursery has been absolutely exceptional! Both my daughter and son have loved every second of their time there, and often cry at the end of the day when they have to leave. Every member of staff who works in the nursery genuinely cares for the children and for their wellbeing; they make a real effort to get to know the individuals and their families and provide detailed feedback on their progress. Academically, the opportunities and the facilities are outstanding. The children have an interesting and varied curriculum, also benefiting from specialist teaching from members of the school staff. The area I have been most impressed with, however, is how well the nursery instils a love of learning. The children learn a huge amount, all tailored to meet individual needs, and without even realising they are learning. This ease and enjoyment of a school environment is the perfect preparation for reception and will hopefully stay with them for years.

A lovely friendly nursery for our first daughter which she really enjoys and soon to be for our second daughter. I would highly recommend to anyone, it is in a beautiful setting with great facilities and the staff are amazing.
