At EDG Nursery, children are viewed as capable, curious and creative learners with their own ideas, interests and ways of understanding the world. The nursery provides an inclusive environment where children can build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging through play, relationships, and first-hand experiences.

At EDG Nursery, children are viewed as capable, curious and creative learners with their own ideas, interests and ways of understanding the world. The nursery provides an inclusive environment where children can build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging through play, relationships, and first-hand experiences.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, the nursery follows a child-centred, play-based philosophy. Practitioners observe and listen closely to children, using their questions, discoveries and interests to shape activities, projects and learning experiences. Adults work alongside children as co-learners, recognising when to offer guidance, introduce a new challenge or allow an idea to develop independently.
The environment itself plays an important role in learning. Natural materials and open-ended resources encourage children to experiment, collaborate, solve problems and express their ideas in different ways. A dedicated on-site atelier provides space for investigation and creative expression, while the sensory room offers opportunities for sensory exploration and can support children's individual regulation needs.
EDG Nursery celebrates the Reggio Emilia concept of children's 'hundred languages' – the many different ways children communicate, think and learn. Art, movement, music, construction, imaginative play, conversation and mark-making all provide opportunities for children to express themselves and make sense of their experiences.
Strong relationships underpin both care and learning. Practitioners support children's communication, physical development, emotional wellbeing, social confidence and early thinking while helping them form secure relationships and become increasingly independent.

About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

The nursery has good facilities including a garden and an art room, and has a really nice focus on child led play and learning. They prepared my son brilliantly for school (he was there for 3 years) and my daughter is very happy there.

Beautiful nursery who have welcomed us from the start of viewing. Lots of space and a large garden. Activities allow my son to play freely and learn. Rooms are light and airy and well set up for a child's development. One attraction of the nursery was the yoga and French they offer. Also pre-Covid they arranged outdoor trips and external visitors frequently - we hope that this can be restored in due course. Staff all friendly, welcoming and fill us with confidence. Management supportive and understanding over the Covid time. Our son loves it at EDG and we are very happy we chose it.

We only have positive things to say about EDG and our son is so happy to be there.
We were immediately struck by how caring and attentive the staff are and by the positive and warm learning environment that has been created within the nursery. Being first-time parents when he joined, it was such a relief knowing that our child is in such safe hands and being well looked after. The management are always friendly and happy to talk through any issues parents might have and, given the regular updates we get on our son's development, feel active partners in his learning. During the covid-19 pandemic, the nursery went out of their way to be open and supportive, and we're so grateful for the willingness of all the nursery staff to get EDG open and running again as quickly and safely as possible. We already have our new daughter down to join nursery soon, which is probably the highest praise we can give to them!

My son has been attending the nursery for almost 2 years now and he has been very happy here. Despite some of the issues with previous management and Ofsted rating, we have never had any concerns with the care my son has been given. The current staff are amazing and positive changes of new management in introductory science-based educational exercises has been great. The feel given is fresh and healthy. My son loves the outsourced tennis coach on Wednesdays. All the other children at the nursery are lovely and my son has a great mix of friends there.

My son was in the preschool room from October 2016 until he started school in September 2017. My daughter is now in the preschool room, having also been at the nursery since October 2016. I have seen a lot of change at the nursery and understand the less favourable feedback but must say the new manager is making significant and very visible changes for the better. Much more of a true child-led curriculum, play with natural materials, messy play, more natural play in the garden. Previous issues have been I think with management knowledge and direction, and definitely not with the attention and care of the staff in the rooms. I've always found staff lovely, especially in the preschool room. My children have been happy at Le Nid.

We will be sending our eleven month old daughter to this nursery soon.

We have had a mixed experience with Le Nid Childcare.
On the one hand, our child seems very happy there. The nursery has a nice garden and there is a lot of time devoted to free play. Some staff are absolutely excellent. However, there is much room for improvement. The nursery has seen very high staff turnover and some staff are struggling with EYFS. The change in management has been for the best and we are hoping that the nursery is on it's way to getting better.

My son has been in attendance at Le Nid Childcare for almost 2 years and I couldn't be happier. It provides a nurturing and safe environment for the children. All the teachers have been wonderful and I feel that my little one has been thriving there. The building is lovely and they organise plenty of extra activities such music classes, tennis and Spanish lessons. The management is always keen on listening to parents and they take on board their advice. I cannot praise Le Nid Childcare highly enough.

My child has attended for 5 months and I continue to be very impressed by the nursery and in particular the dedicated and passionate staff. Everyone from the receptionist onwards is welcoming and seem to be professional and yet relaxed.
I have not experienced such a welcoming atmosphere in any other nurseries,
It is a bright and open building, children make great use of the large outdoor space.
I hope owners and management make efforts to keep staff happy, support them and recruit more people. Happy staff, equally happy children.
Overall facilities are excellent but worth asking staff what new equipment, toys or improvements needed now.
Regular posting up on the reception and room walls of the children's latest materials and learning goals would help busy parents quickly and easily grasp all the wonderful things the children seem to be doing and improve decor.
There is a fantastic app with photos and very informative newsletter.
A great place to be and to visit.

I am the Nursery Manager at EDG Nursery and have over 10 years of experience working within the early years sector. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to creating nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring environments where children can achieve, belong and thrive, develop confidence, and build a lifelong love of learning.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies (Level 6), which has provided me with a strong foundation in child development, early years pedagogy, leadership, and best practice. Over the years, I have progressed through a variety of roles within early years education, gaining valuable experience in supporting children, families, and staff teams.
I chose to become a Nursery Manager because I wanted to make a lasting difference, not only in the lives of children but also in the lives of the families and educators who support them. I am passionate about creating environments where children feel a true sense of belonging, where families feel valued as partners, and where practitioners are empowered to provide exceptional care and education.
Seeing children grow in confidence, achieve milestones, and develop into happy, capable learners is what continues to inspire me every day. I believe every child deserves the very best start in life and am committed to ensuring children receive high-quality care, meaningful learning experiences, and strong, trusting relationships that place their wellbeing, development, and happiness at the heart of everything we do.

My name is Guzal, and I joined EDG Nursery in September 2025. I am the Assistant Manager and Lily Floor Leader, bringing over five years of experience in early years education.
In 2025, I achieved Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS), strengthening my knowledge of child development, high-quality teaching and learning, assessment, and inclusive practice within the Early Years Foundation Stage.
As Assistant Manager, I work closely with the senior leadership team to support the day-to-day running of the nursery, ensuring high standards of care, education, and operational practice. Alongside leading our Lily Floor, I support and mentor the team to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.

My name is Kimberly, and I joined EDG Nursery in 2025. I am the Third in Charge and Room Leader for our Oaks Room on the Oak Floor, supporting our older toddlers as they continue to develop their confidence, independence, and curiosity.
I bring over 10 years of experience working with children and hold a degree in Education Studies. Throughout my time at EDG, I have progressed from Educator to Room Leader, and now Third in Charge, where I support both the management team and colleagues to help maintain high standards of care, education, and daily practice across the nursery.
I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn, grow, and thrive.

I am the Quality and Compliance Manager at EDG Nursery.
