Welcome to Cricklade Manor Nursery, a happy and nurturing place within easy reach of Swindon and Cirencester, where children thrive and grow. We are open year round from 7.30am-6pm, providing affordable, high-quality fun, learning and adventures.
Nursery is often a child’s first experience of spending time away from immediate family, so our first focus is to create an environment that is happy, warm and safe, ensuring children are emotionally supported with outstanding pastoral care. Feeling safe and secure is the first step to building confidence and enthusiasm, and our boys and girls quickly settle down to making friends, playing and exploring.
A team of experienced and inspirational staff engage their curiosity and imagination, supporting them as they take their first steps in a lifetime of discovery and learning. The world opens up before them as they explore through purposeful play, and learn to enjoy learning. We encourage our children to ask questions and explore ideas, and every day means a fresh adventure.
From the moment your child starts at Cricklade Manor Nursery, they will enter a happy and exciting environment. No two children are alike, so we encourage our children to follow their interests, and, for our youngest children especially, play is child led. We encourage their curiosity and wonder in the world around them, exploring nature in our beautiful walled garden and Forest School, or discovering expression through art or music. Our staff are there to support and guide the children in their learning, asking questions to challenge and extend learning and understanding, and encouraging creativity, risk taking and exploring, and resilience when trying new things.
Once children join the Pre-School class, learning, while still play based, becomes a little more structured in preparation for starting school. We love watching their ever-growing confidence and independence, as they discover how many skills they can conquer. Our classrooms are organised to allow children to explore and learn both independently and collaboratively. We take time to understand each child’s interests and the way they learn, so we can provide them with an experience that really helps them thrive. By the time they leave us, they are confident and enthusiastic to start the next part of their learning.
