Mini Morgans is an independent nursery in Hertford, on the grounds of Morgans Primary School. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework across all seven areas of learning, and every child has a key person who knows them well and plans around their interests.

Our manager holds a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies, and the wider team includes Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 early years practitioners. Meals are cooked fresh in our kitchen each day, and one all-inclusive fee covers nappies, wipes, formula milk for children up to 12 months, specialist sessions, community trips and woodland visits.

Spaces are currently available with no waiting list. We welcome both 15-hour and 30-hour funded childcare places.

Care by stage

Babies, toddlers and preschool children

Babies

Gentle routines, secure relationships and close communication with your child's key person help very young children settle and feel known.

Toddlers

Toddlers are supported through play, language, movement, friendships and growing independence, indoors and outside every day.

Preschool

Older children build confidence, early language and maths foundations, social skills and everyday independence for the move to school.

Why families choose us

Discover, learn and grow

01

Led by the child

Practitioners follow each child's curiosity, adapting activities in the moment across all seven areas of the EYFS. Play-based, therapeutic approaches help children name their feelings, resolve conflict and make lasting friendships.

02

Part of Hertford life

Our Community Champion arranges regular outings with local partners, farms, parks, the library and Hertford town centre, so children practise real conversations and build social confidence beyond the nursery gate. All trips are included.

03

Outdoors in all weather

Children are outside every day, active play, gardening, meals in the fresh air and messy play in our secure garden. Supported risk-taking builds coordination, resilience and a healthy sense of what their bodies can do.

04

Woodland sessions

Alongside everything indoors, our Forest School practitioner takes small groups into the woodlands a short walk away for den building, campfire cooking and nature art, included for every child at no extra cost.

Our ethos

A positive and motivating place to spend a childhood

We follow children's natural curiosity. A morning's discovery becomes an afternoon of storytelling, counting and painting. The same thread, picked up again and again.

Each child follows their own journey with one dedicated key person who knows their interests, their stage and their personality, and works closely with you.

As an independent nursery rather than part of a chain, decisions are made here, for the children in front of us. Our practitioners stay for years, not months.

Learning through play

A day at our nursery in Hertford

Days are built around the children in the room. Focused activities and quiet corners, group singing and stories, meals together at the table, and long stretches of free play indoors and out. Each child's key person plans around what they are curious about that week.

Specialist sessions run through the term, dance, sports coaching, yoga, drama and languages, alongside community visits to farms, the library and Hertford town centre, and regular woodland sessions with our Forest School practitioner. All of it is included in your fee.
