Welcome
Bonnington House Nursery is an independently run nursery which provides a safe, stimulating and happy place for children to play, learn and thrive.
We take great pride and pleasure in seeing the children grow and develop through our combination of outdoor learning and child centred play.
Our Georgian built nursery offers spacious and sunny playrooms and wherever possible, we encourage outdoor play.
The nursery is open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday all year round, closing only Christmas, New Years Day and select bank holidays.
