All children are born learners with an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a natural curiosity to figure out how the world works. Placing children at the centre of everything we do, our intent at the Orchard Nursery is to provide a wonderous, rich, holistic environment bursting with exciting opportunities for learning. With the belief that knowledge is not something to be delivered but explored, we aim to teach children 'how' to think and not 'what' to think and have the confidence to develop their own theories about the world.

The Orchard Nursery is a place to learn, a place to play, a place to grow, flourish and thrive, and we hope to welcome your little one into our family very soon.

Focused on the holistic development of the child, the Orchard Nursery is a place to learn, a place to play, a place to grow, flourish, and thrive. An extension of the family home, the Orchard Nursery is a calm environment filled with neutral tones, soft furnishings, plants, and tranquil play spaces, creating a state of 'hygge', where children feel a sense of belonging, safe and secure to snuggle down or explore with confidence. 

Our learning environments, carefully curated to promote curiosity, imagination and independence, are filled with loose parts, natural resources, authentic objects that reflect cultural diversity, and real resources that allow children to use their imagination and explore endlessly. We have moved away from brightly coloured traditional manufactured plastic toys that have a set purpose and can limit play and have replaced them with open-ended intelligent resources that spark curiosity, awe, and wonder and allow children the freedom and creativity to problem-solve, use their imaginations, and extend their play in any way they choose.
