About us

A family setting, run by a family

Founded in 2019 with love, care and a big vision, Nursery Room is a family-run business dedicated to creating a nurturing and enriching environment for your little ones.

Our founder, Sevjen, is a mum of three with over 10 years’ experience in the nursery industry. She’s experienced firsthand the emotions and worries that come with finding the right childcare — the tears and anxious hearts of early drop-offs — and set out to design a place that combines the best of a nursery and a childminder.

We’re based in a purpose-built nursery building, completed in 2019, just behind our family home — with its own private access and a warm, homely atmosphere. Every family is unique, which is why we’ve created a flexible, understanding approach to both care and fees: no rigid policies or late penalties that add stress to your day.
