About Us
Awarded Ofsted Outstanding in November 2023 under the new and more stringent EY Framework and holders of Millie's Mark and the British Early Years Quality Assurance Mark! Formerly a large family residence, our beautifully converted nursery first opened in September 2015 and offers places for up to 60 children aged 3 months to 4 years 11 months, across 4 specially designed rooms, all of which have been created to meet the needs of each age and stage of development. We also have a huge and fantastically designed multi zone garden for the children to enjoy all year round!
Our nursery is conveniently situated in Front Lane, just along from the Cranham Social Hall and shopping parade. We have on site parking, are close to bus routes and we are also within walking distance of local schools and Upminster Station.
