The Old Station Nursery Granta Park is a purpose-built nursery using the latest eco friendly building technology and is ideally located for busy parents. Located just 10 minutes from Cambridge city centre, the nursery is ideally located in Granta Park for those parents travelling to work in Cambridge or the park itself. The nursery also provides easy access for those travelling to London, Newmarket and other surrounding areas.

We are passionate about Montessori inspired philosophy. Montessori nursery is not just about learning, it is about sparking curiosity, encouraging exploration, and helping children develop their natural interests, learn through hands-on experiences, and acquire real-world skills.

Each room has access to its own garden area, 3 of which have canopies to shelter from the rain. The ground is laid to astro turf and each garden has a wide variety of resources, such as climbing frames, tunnels, planks of wood, crates, sand pits and mud kitchens. The largest garden, for the over 3’s, has a large water fountain and also a wildlife lookout tower, which overlooks the woodland area.

The children are encouraged by the nursery team to explore their environment freely and discover new things along the way. This helps the children to become curious and confident learners.

The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child. Experiencessuch as child-friendly cooking, organic growing and language classes, inspired by the Montessori approach, fostering meaningful connections between children and the world around them. These classes help to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process, sustainable living, the environment and different cultures.
