Meet The Orchard Nursery Team
The people around your child matter.
At The Orchard Nursery, children are surrounded by familiar adults who know them, care for them and share the same commitment to their happiness, learning and wellbeing.

Our adults welcome, listen, notice, comfort, teach, encourage, challenge, laugh and wonder alongside children.
There are people here who know me. There are people here I can trust.
A TEAM AROUND YOUR CHILD
A key person knows your child especially well.
A whole team surrounds them with care.
ADULTS WHO KNOW, NOTICE AND RESPOND
Knowing a child well helps adults make thoughtful decisions: when to join, when to model a word, when to reassure, when to add challenge, when to give time and when to celebrate.
The better we know children, the better we can care for them and teach them.
