Hi, I'm Kirsty, the Nursery Manager at Wilmere Lane.
Every day at Wilmere Lane, we inspire children to be inquisitive, imaginative, and confident learners through carefully designed learning environments. For over 20 years, we’ve welcomed and nurtured children who go on to explore, discover, and imagine with us.
Our cosy, home-from-home atmosphere fosters comfort, togetherness, and well-being—helping children feel secure, content, and ready to thrive.
Our passionate, experienced team understands that every child is unique. We tailor our approach to support each child's individual needs and pace.
Children enjoy time in our large garden, engaging with nature and building confidence. Indoors, our calming spaces support babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers alike.
Mealtimes are social and relaxed, with children helping to serve healthy, home-cooked meals, promoting independence and community.
