Manor House Nursery School

Welcome to Manor House Nursery, a unique and stimulating nursery set in a wonderful woodland park in Margate, Kent. We are a family-run organisation, owned and operated by Sean and Jayne Sheerin, with a passion for delivering exceptional early years education. Since opening in 2008, we have been rated outstanding in all areas by Ofsted, a testament to our commitment to providing a loving, secure, and stimulating environment for children to grow and develop.

Our Philosophy

At Manor House Nursery, we believe that early years education should be about the whole child, encompassing the head, the hand, and the heart. We strive to offer a holistic approach to learning, where children can explore, discover, and develop their skills and abilities in a warm and welcoming environment. Our qualified, professional staff are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive atmosphere, where children can feel secure and valued.

Our Services

We offer a range of services designed to meet the needs of children from birth to five years old. Our nursery is divided into different age groups, each with its own tailored programme of activities and experiences. Our Woodland Nursery is designed for children aged 2-3 years, while our Kindergarten caters for children aged 3-5 years. We also offer a Forest School, where children can engage in outdoor learning and exploration, and a Holiday Club, providing childcare during school holidays.

In addition to our nursery and educational services, we also offer a range of support services for parents, including nutrition and health advice, settling-in support, and regular progress reports. We believe that building strong relationships with our families is essential to providing the best possible start for their children.
