Orchard House School Nursery provides a warm, nurturing, and inspiring environment where young children flourish. The purpose-built setting combines the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework with Montessori-inspired learning and the school’s bespoke Learning Orchard curriculum, fostering independence, creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
A distinctive feature is the approach to High Performance Learning (HPL), a research-based educational framework built on the belief that every child can develop the confidence, resilience, and thinking skills needed to reach their potential. Through positive learning habits and supportive encouragement, children embrace challenges, grow in independence, and build a strong foundation for future learning.
With a spacious, free-flow layout, children move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor learning, enjoying opportunities for gardening, composting, and the ‘Daily Dose of Nature’ initiative. The curriculum includes weekly specialist lessons in Music, French, Computing, PE, and Eurhythmics, alongside hands-on activities that bring learning to life.
Real-world experiences, from caring for ducklings to growing flowers and herbs, nurture curiosity and encourage exploration. Highly qualified staff and specialist teachers provide individual attention and support, helping each child develop socially, emotionally, and academically.
Parental engagement is highly valued, with initiatives such as ‘Mystery Reader’ sessions and sustainability projects strengthening the partnership between home and nursery. With a focus on wellbeing, discovery, independence, and strong early learning foundations, Orchard House School Nursery provides an excellent start to each child’s educational journey, supporting development into happy, confident, and curious learners.

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.

Our son has been in this nursery since September 2024 and his progress has been truly astounding. The head and deputy head teachers are amazing, early years education is very clearly their passion and they recognise the strengths in each child (well they definitely did for our son). We receive regular feedback both formal and informal. Our son has progressed with phonics, reading, numbers and language to reception level and he has only just reached 4. He goes in happy every day, enjoys the lunches and comes home tired but happy talking about his friends and teachers. Honestly we couldn't recommend it enough.
We are delighted to hear how much your son is thriving at Orchard House Nursery. Our team is passionate about nurturing each child's individual potential, and it's fantastic to see him making such amazing progress while enjoying his time with us. We take great pride in providing a supportive and...

We're delighted to hear that I has had such a wonderful experience at Orchard House Nursery. Providing a warm and nurturing environment for both play and learning is at the heart of what we do, and it's fantastic to see her making such great progress. It's wonderful to know that she enjoys her time with us and that her confidence in phonics, reading, and maths continues to grow.
Our children have been extremely happy in the nursery this year. The staff are incredibly warm and attentive. The facility is clean, safe and comfortable. We would have liked to have seen a smaller class size but the school has managed the volume well.
